Death of Mary and Holy Trinity Church
On 19 January 1735, Henderson's wife Mary died. She was buried in Henderson's Chapel. In 1737, Henderson gave the chapel and 4 acres (16,000 m2) of land for the use of Queen Anne's Parish called "the Glebe whereon there is a Chapple now standing." Almost 100 years later, in 1836 Henderson's Chapel became an independent congregation, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.
