Amanda, 13th of Richard Henderson's 15 children, living in Opp, Ala at the time, wrote a letter on her 62nd wedding anniversary published in the Opp News March 14, 1929 in which she said: "I was born in Abbeville, Ala.  Father Henderson was born and raised in North Carolina.  Mother, who was Cinderella Hutto of Scotch-Dutch parentage, was born and raised in Georgia.  Grandfather Henderson was born in Scotland and married Sarah Bottoms in England.  They met on a boat on which they sailed three days and were engaged.  They were married on his second visit to England.
After they were married they came to the United States and made their home in North Carolina and lived their days out there.  Father and Mother were married in Ala and lived their days out there.  Grandfather Henderson was a wealthy man and owned a large number of slaves in North Carolina.  Father heired some of the slaves when Grandfather died, and he owned a few slaves until the war freed them.  I remember one woman we called Mam.  She had five children.  She died before the war, but the
children, three girls and two boys, were owned by Father until the War.  Mr. Roberts and I were married in Ala and will likely spend the rest of our life here.  He is 85 and I am 80.  The Lord has blessed us."
