Hendersonville
[is] located in the extreme
northeastern corner, was laid out in 1834 by Robert
Henderson, from whom it takes its name, and by whom the first
house had been erected as early as 1828. Robert afterward became the
first postmaster. A tannery was built in 1829 by Jonathan
Henderson, who remained its proprietor until 1855, conducting a
shoe-shop in connection therewith, at which time he sold to Frank
Adamson. The last owner was James Bowlender,
under whose control it languished and died. School had been opened as
early as 1812, the children of the neighbor hood assembling in a small
log hut at that time to receive such primitive instruction and
educational training as the times afforded.
