He was the son of Thomas Monroe Henderson. In 1842, he removed to Long Island. There he first worked as a clerk, and later became a merchant. In 1856, he traveled for about a year to Kansas to improve his health.
He was a member of the New York State Senate (1st D.) in 1862 and 1863, but due to ill health he abandoned the 85th Session on January 31, and did not take his seat during the 86th Session.
He died at the home of his niece at 54 Union Ave., in Jamaica, Queens.
