The Henderson-Clark Family Website

Welcome to the Henderson-Clark Family Website

The Henderson-Clark website is dedicated to the descendants of William Henderson, Henry Clark, and their wife, Sallie Bandy. These descendants have requested a way to bridge the gap between the past and the present, the young and the aged, and the time and distance that separates our family members.  The goal of the Henderson-Clark website is to close that gap by establishing a centralized communication source.  The website is a historical database, detailing information regarding our family’s history and documenting history as we make it today.

As we build this website and develop it over the years we hold dearly to our values:  Tolerance, spirituality, and a unity of effort.  We value tolerance because we recognize that the spark of creativity and growth may arise from the most unlikely sources.  We value spirituality because it transcends religion, sparking uniqueness as individuals while providing a foundation for unity.  The life of the website will reflect the spirit of its contributors.  We value a unity of effort, that is, a joint effort of website creators and Henderson-Clark descendants to meaningfully contribute to the website’s growth.

This website has been active for several years now and its content reflects that growth.  Here are some interesting facts…

The scholarship has arguably been a success.  We are in the 7^th year of the Etta Mae Robinson Memorial Scholarship having contributed $6000 amongst its recipients.

The second edition of the Henderson-Clark Family Tree: The Descendants of Henry Clark, William Henderson, Martha Ann Clark, & Sallie Bandy was created and distributed.

A limited first edition and a full second edition of The Fuller Family Tree: The Descendants of John & Amanda Taylor Fuller was produced.

In 2009, Auburn was the host city for the largest combined Henderson-Clark family reunion EVER.  For many years the Henderson’s and the Clark’s have gathered separately.  Thanks to the reunion committee and the dedication of many of you, the Henderson’s and Clark’s gathered hand in hand to the applause of our ancestors.

The Fuller family is representative of my great grandmother, Nellie Ann Fuller Henderson.  Family members across the country have been identified and reunited with our extended family. We dedicate a link to the Fuller family here.

The Ascension page celebrates the life of our family members that have passed since 2006.   One could say that this section has grown too fast, having lost many family members in these brief few years.Website updated as of February 2010.
