Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Hendershot (family) : The Henneschiedt [Hendershot] family was originally from Meisenheim, Germany. Around 1709 Michael Hendershot immigrated to New York and the oldest branch of the family stems from him. Family allegiances were divided during the American Civil War and the descendants of Michael Hendershot's son Casper immigrated to the Niagara Peninsula as United Empire Loyalists. Twenty years later Christopher (Christian) Hendershot and his family of 20 children also immigrated to Canada, settling near Hamilton, Ontario.

During the 19th century several more Hendershot families immigrated from Germany to North America, many of whom settled in New Jersey and Pelham Township, Welland County, Ontario.
