There is, of course, the Henry river, probably named after Heinrich Weidner/Henry Whitener, among the very first German/Swiss settlers to arrive "West of the Catawba." The Henry river enters Catawba Co. from s-eastern Burke, joins the Jacob Fork at the Heinrich Weidner property, which extended on three sides of the junction. At this point it becomes the South Fork (of the Catawba). Today, there is a Henry community, in nw Lincoln County, near Denver. It doesn't appear on many of the newer maps. Even the Lincoln County Heritage fails to recognize it. Nevertheless, that's my best guess. Somebody may come up with some more. Regards, --Derick
