The late John HENDERSON, a carpenter, came to Moncton from England about the year 1822. Mr. Henderson had a family of four sons, Edward HENDERSON, Isaac HENDERSON, John HENDERSON and Thomas HENDERSON and three daughters. Mary HENDERSON, who never married and two others, who subsequently became Mrs. James WOOTON and the late Mrs. George GIBSON. Mr. Henderson built the old Monkton Hotel about 58 years ago and several other buildings. He died many years ago and the only member of his family still living is Mrs. James Wooton who lives with her son on Wesley street. Mrs. Wooton is nearly 80 years of age, but is smarter than most women at 50. She has distinct recollections of her arrival in this country in the year 1824, some two years after her father came out. She landed at Buctouche and started to go by sail to Shediac, but a storm coming up they were obliged to land at Cocagne and proceed overland in the roughest kind of an ox cart. Of those who were here in 1824, Mrs. Wooton is the only person living.
