Perman D. Henderson was born September 19, 1801 in Greene County, Tennessee; Perman was married on December 25, 1821 in Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri, to Sarah Trapp, the daughter of Martin Trapp and Jemima Dodson.
To this union were born 12 children. They were as follows: Racheal Henderson, born March 15, 1824 in Jackson County, Missouri, Martin Henderson, born April 18, 1826 in Jackson County, Missouri, John Dodson Henderson, born December 30, 1828 in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, William Jackson Henderson, born March 14, 1831 in Jackson County, Missouri, Cynthia Jane Henderson born December 20, 1832 in Jackson County, Missouri, Lewis Melvin Henderson born December 16, 1833 in Buchanan County, Missouri, Evelina Campbell Henderson born May 9, 1835 in Jackson County, Missouri, Mary Katrina Henderson born January 4, 1840 in Buchanan County, Missouri, Harriet Reid Henderson born January 1842 in Buchanan County, Missouri, Keziah Emaly Henderson born May 11, 1843 in Buchanan County, Missouri, Joseph Henderson born September 24, 1847 in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri, and James Perman Henderson born October 1848 in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri.
Perman was credited with "platting" the village of Rushville, Missouri with his brother-in-law, John Allison (husband of Dicey Trapp, sister to Sarah Trapp, wife of Perman). Perman and Sarah moved to Buchanan County, Missouri when it was opened for settlement by the Platte Purchase. They arrived in Oregon on September 20, 1853 where they received Oregon Land Donation Claims Certificate #44583.
Perman sold his farm in Corvallis along with his brother-in-law Charlie Johnson (widowed husband of Keziah Trapp), Charlie’s son-in-law Frederick Horning to John Trapp (brother of Sarah, Keziah and Dicey) and his committee in 1856 that was commissioned in the Oregon Territory to build a college. The college started in 1856 as Corvallis Academy, then in 1868 it became Oregon State Agricultural College, and now it is known as Oregon State University.
