An extensive search of likely sources turned up no biographical information on William F. Henderson. From the letters it can be deduced that he was a practicing physician in Williamsboro, Granville (now Vance) County, North Carolina. Since these papers were originally collected by Professor Archibald Henderson, it is probable that William F. Henderson was connected with Professor Henderson's family, also from the Williamsboro area, but no clear relationship has been established.
