Thanks to C.D. Bird for the following:
The Index-Journal (Greenwood, SC) Sunday, 24 Aug 1941
Thomas Stallworth Henderson and his wife (Harriet Red, daughter of Samuel J Red of Newberry District family of that name. In the appendix of Chapman's addition to O'Neall's Annals of Newberry county, it is said that Samuel J Red lived on Bush River "near Plester's Mill" in 1836, that he and his wife were Covenanters and freed their slaves.)
Thomas Stallworth Henderson and his wife lived in front of and not far from Mt Moriah Church. In 1845, the famous dry year, Thomas Stallworth Henderson decided he would try some other place in which to live.
He planted all of his farm in corn and that fall had a sale of all of his land and crops. The corn brought twenty-five cents the bushel.
Henderson hitched up his wagons, loaded up some effects and carried his wife and children and slaves to Texas, a long and arduous journey. Texas, an independent republic from 1836 to 1845, was annexed as a part of the United States in that year.
Thomas Henderson settled in the Brazos River Valley of Texas.
