Woodside was built probably by Lawson Henderson on a large tract of Lincolnton soon after his marriage to Elizabeth Caruth on July 20, 1798. The Henderson family was one of the most prominent pioneer families of western North Carolina, and Lawson was no exception. He was sheriff of Lincoln County from 1796 to 1801 and clerk of the county court from 1804 to 1837...(Submitted on April 23, 2024, by Mark Parker of Hickory, North Carolina.)
James Pinckney carried the Henderson family name to Texas where he became one of that state fS most important political figures .. In 1836 after practicing law in both North Carolina and Mississippi, Henderson organized a company of troops and traveled to Texas to aid the fight for independence there...In 1846 he was elected the first governor of the state of Texas, and while governor he served as major general in the Mexican War.
