 ASE Journal 38 - Thomas Henderson
Henderson was born on 28 December 1798, the younger son of a tradesman, and educated at Dundee Academy under Thomas Duncan, rector, (later Professor of Mathematics at St Andrews) where he showed a great aptitude for mathematics and science.

Henderson was duly elected, supported by his many distinguished friends, and during the last 10 years achieved another prodigious workload with the help of his assistant Alexander Wallace, although he did very little teaching.
