THE HENDERSONS OF STEMSTEE. THE traditional account of the Caithness Hendersons The Henderson* is that they are descended from Henry Gunn, a younger ot son of George Gunn, who was chief of the clan in the fifteenth century. After the slaughter of their chief and several of his sons in a combat with the Keiths, a family difference led to Henry separating himself from his sur- viving brothers, and settling in the lowlands of Caith- ness. In 1594 we find mention of a champion of the clan Gunn, named Donald Mac- William Mac-Hendric, who may have Had something to say in the matter of the Hender- son patronymic ; but the popular account is, as has been said, that they are the descendants of Henry Gunn. I. DONALD HENDERSON, who was in Stemster in 1680, had two sons : 1. David, who is said to have settled in Zetland. 2. Alexander. II. In the year 1700 ALEXANDER HENDERSON got a general disposition of moveables from his father (who appears to have been in easy circumstances), and in 1706 he resided in Lochside. He married Anna or Agnes rhe Hendersons Murray, sister-german of Ranald Murray, in Bowertower.
In 1726 he was tacksman of Stemster, and in 1736 he became tenant of Gerston, where he resided till his death in 1743. He had an only son and four, if not five, daughters : 1. David. 1. Christian, who married, in 1726, Francis Swanson, son of William Swanson in Stemster, who be- came tenant of Gerston in 1751 or 1752, and whose descendants were the tenants till 1872. 2. Margaret, who married Adam Henderson, son of Benjamin Henderson in Achalibster, from whom are descended the family of Hendersons, some- time in Clyth. 3. Anne, who married Donald Henderson, second laird of Westerdale. 4. Barbara, the youngest daughter, who married, in 1751, Alexander Sinclair, the last laird of Dun, being his second wife. She had no issue. 5. There seems to have been in 1754 another daugh- ter named Elizabeth, who was apparently then unmarried. III. DAVID HENDERSON occupied the farm of Gerston for some time after 1748, and in 1750 he purchased Stemster from Sir Benjamin Sinclair for 21,500 merks. He married Cecilia, daughter of William Honyman of Grsemsay, another of whose daughters was married to Taylor of Thura, and a third daughter to the Reverend The Hendersons
