Here´s a little bonus, a sidetrack to Martin's Anthracothorax prevostii hendersoni thread, with a minor addition on ...

hendersonii as in:
• the subspecies Locustella lanceolata hendersonii CASSIN 1858 (here) as "Lusciniopsis Hendersonii":
Discovered by A. A. Henderson, M. D., U. S. Navy.

• the invalid "Ephialtes Hendersonii" CASSIN 1852 (here) [Syn. Otus senegalensis SWAINSON 1837]:
" Came on board U. S. brig Perry off Novo Redondo."—Dr. Henderson's label.
[...]
Of the interesting little bird at present described, two specimens, male and female, are in a collection made principally on the coasts of Angola and Benguela, during a recent voyage of the U. S. brig Perry, and presented to the Academy by A. A. Henderson, M. D., Surgeon U. S. Navy, who was attached to that vessel as a medical officer. I have taken the liberty of dedicating it to Dr. Henderson as a slight testimonial to his profound and varied scientific acquirements, and as a memento of our long-continued and pleasant friendship.

= Dr. Andrew Augustus Henderson (1816–1875), US Navy surgeon, naturalist, collector ... and so on.

"Birth: Feb. 14, 1816. Huntingdon County Pennsylvania, USA. Death: Apr. 4, 1875, Kings County (Brooklyn) New York, USA" (here)

Also noted here, full family history here (pp. 38-39) ... and elsewhere.

Enjoy!

Already solved but just what The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
African Scops Owl ssp. Otus senegalensis hendersonii Cassin, 1852 NCR [NUI Otus senegalensis senegalensis]
Dr Andrew A. Henderson (1816–1875) was an American naval surgeon and naturalist. He collected on the Angolan coast whilst attached to the US brig Perry (1850) during the Wilkes Expedition. He was surgeon on board USS Richmond during the American Civil War, when it passed the Confederate batteries at Vicksburg on the River Mississippi (1862) and off Port Hudson (1863).

So what ever it's worth.
