Samuel Henderson accompanied his brother Col. Richard Henderson and his friend Col. Richard Calloway with the Transylvanie contingent to the vicinity of Boonsboro, KY in June 1776. A KY story often repeated describes the capture of Elizabeth Calloway and Jemimah Boone by the Indians and their rescue by Daniel Boone and Samuel Henderson.

Notes

"This site where the Old Cedar Creek is located is a very interesting one. Peter Grayson of Cedar Creek was Minister to Texas in 1841. It is told that a member of the Cedar Creek Church, a Nathan Viers who was received at the age of ninety-four, remembered George Washington. (CEDAR CREEK CHURCH From Spencer's History)

This old church located about 4 miles west of Bardstown on the Bellwood Road, one mile off Highway 62, near the site of Rogers Station. John Barnett assisted by John Gerrard constituted the Cedar Creek Baptist Church. July 4, 1781 and was second in the state. This being five years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and while the Revolutionary War was still in progress. Just sixteen days after the organization of the Severn Valley Church.
The first meeting place was on the banks of Cedar Creek and Downs Run. The second Meeting place was a log building across the road from where the present brick church now stands.
In building the brick structure they dug the clay from the ground nearby and burned the brick on the site. The walls were plastered using hog hair to mat the plaster together. The roof was composed of white oak hewn beams. The walls are sixteen inches thick.
Pioneer settlers of nearby Rogers Station, 1780, Colonel James Rogers, first judge of Nelson County, Atkinson Hill, Judge James Slaughter, and Matthews William and Jonathan Rogers are among the founders of the church.
First pastor of Cedar Creek Church was Joseph Barnett who continued to minister the church until October 1785 and probably some years later. The Reverend Joseph Barnett preached the introductory sermon before the convention that formed the Salem Association at Cox's Creek Church in October 1785. Refer to Spencer's Book on Baptist and you will find they had a membership of forty one at that time.
Second pastor was the Reverend Joshua Morris in 1785. While here, the Reverend Morris also preached at Mill Creek Church which is located four and a half miles east of Bardstown.
Rev. Morris was pastor for several years and the church prospered greatly under his leadership. He died at his home in Nelson County about the year 1837. After his death the church had changes of pastors."
