Son of Samuel & Submit (Woodward) Henshaw

Married Martha 0n 7 August 1782 at her parents' home on Elm Street in Northampton, MA

Graduated from Harvard in 1773 with a degree in theology. A voice problem led him to give up preaching and go into law.
Judge of the Northampton Probate Court
Trustee of Williams College 1802-1809

Additional Children:
Samuel (1789-1863); married Eliza Lyman
Theresa (1791-?); married Edward Phillips and Charles Beck (sister Louisa's widower)

The Henshaw Tomb fell into disrepair and the tablets or stones were laid down level and the big oblong monument rolled over on to them. A descendant Judge Francis Dewey (son of Charles Dewey & Frances Aurelia Henshaw) of Worcester was going to have the monument rolled off, the inscriptions copied & then rolled back. He died before it was done.
