Samuel Hendry, the oldest of the family of David and Selina Hendry, embarked in mercantile pursuits, built mills of Grand River, was a man of business, but owing to the stress of the times at the close of the War of 1812-14, he failed and a few years thereafter was elected Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Ashtabula County which office he held for 15 years; was also clerk of the Supreme Court 21 years. He edited the Ashtabula Sentinel, a leading Whig paper in the county . He afterwards purchased land in Michigan at Brest, which purchase proved disastrous. He s old and moved to Oberlin, Ohio, to educate his children. He was one of the Trustees of the C ollege and Mayor of the town where he died and was burried.
