One of the early settlers of this portion of Greenville County was John Lenderman, who soon after the Revolutionary War settled eight and one-half miles south of Greenville, near Reedy River, on the farm now owned by J. Riley Ashmore. 

He emigrated from Holland (port of embarkation) previous to the war and located first in North Carolina, where he joined the ranks of the Whigs, as the patriot army was called, and was enrolled and served as a Revolutionary soldier. 

The old house in which he lived has entirely disappeared, but his descendants of the fourth and fifth general still remain as does the name "Lenderman's neighborhood."
