Please note: There seems to be some confusion as to Mary's maiden name. Mary's obituary gives her maiden name as "Henderson" and her son's death certificate lists it as "Henderson." Mary's daughter's death certificate lists it as "Hendrickson" which is where I believe the confusion began. Also, I believe the birth year in her obituary may be incorrect. Mary appears to have been born between 1825 and 1827 (according to early census records). She was about 16 when she married, which I believe was about 1843 or 1844, and her first daughter, Elizabeth, was born around 1844 or 1845. I have seen a marriage date for Mary and Hiram of July 10, 1844 which may be correct.
