Pacific Standard Time, pattee@charter.net writes: In the over 30 years of researching the Henry's, I have rarely seen a middle name given prior to 1800 and this is not just in the Henry lines In the time frame when 'everyone' was a Catholic, people had middle names. There was the one given by the parents, then a Saint's name given at Baptism, and then another 'middle' name taken at time of Confirmation. Per census reports, etc. a grandfather was named William, Enough for census taker. Didn't need it that he was baptized Joseph, confirmed as David. Usually the 1st middle name was used when mama was mad, as Come Here William Joseph, to make sure she got HER own William. At time of marriage my husband's confirmation name was included by the Priest, as in "Do you, William Joseph David, take.." Enough of that. Madora

HENRY, John W. born 1843/44 place Either W. VA or VA or PA. Some of his papers have him listed born in VA. Jefferson County. Some list his birth place as Jefferson County PA. He was in the Michigan County of Branch living on a 80 acre farm married to Mary Elizabeth Ramsdill in Butler Twp. prior to 1877. He served in the civil war with Battery D 1st Michigan Light Artillery Unit. He sold the farm on Sept 25, 1877, and for some reason was in Texas in 1880 when he accidentally shot and killed his self while hunting. He was with some fellows named KIDDER 's when he died also it appears his wife and 3 kids were also with him. He died on Aug 17, 1880 25 miles north of Stone Wall, Luckin TX. By the way he is related to Day/Ramsdill/Haight also of the area. D.Clark Day born 1854 in Butler Twp., Branch County was a cousin I have his funeral obit. I have been to Red Hill in VA., and talked to Patrick Henry's genealogist there. If you were to put the pictures of those Henry's to my Henry's you would think they must be related. However have not found a direct connection. I need to find John W. Henry's parents in order to see if their is a connection. My wife is a Henry. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Clayton E.

I am interested in contacting any Henrys or people related to the Henrys in Lincoln Co., NC. I understand they intermarried with the Massey family back in the early 1800's. Thank you for your time. Best, Bill Most sincerely, William R. (Bill) Massey of Lewisburg/Marshall County, Tennessee

I'm very please to annouce my cousin Marvin sent out his DNA sample Friday. I will make sure the results are posted to the Henry list. We decend from William & Elizabeth "Jones" Henry. William served in the Rev. War from Botetourt Co., VA. William and his brother John, both stated in their Rev. War pension application they "where born in the State of Virginia, Berkley County and shortly removed by his parents to Botetourt County in Va." The brothers migrated from Botetourt Co., VA, William, settling in Jones Cove, Sevier Co., TN, John, settling in Cosby, Cocke Co., TN. residing about 10 miles from each other. It's believed they had a brother Robert (per William Henry's land grant: lying in the District south of the French Broad and Holston on the East Fork of the Little Pigeon River and bounded by the lands of Robert Henry) which is the only documentation for any Robert Henry residing in Sevier County for that time frame. I will add that there was a courthouse fire in both Cocke & Sevier County courthouses, all the early records where lost, but there is a paper trail. There is a Robert Henry in Cocke County no documentation is available from the courthouse and no records for a Robert Henry serving in the Rev. War. from Cocke County. He may have served and died prior to having the opportunity to apply for a pension. It's believed he was a younger brother. I have documented other siblings for William & John but have not located anything for any Robert at this time. In the over 30 years of researching the Henry's, I have rarely seen a middle name given prior to 1800 and this is not just in the Henry lines. To add to the confusion William, John, Hugh, Robert and James are very common given names which only adds to the mystic of the Henry's. My William Henry m. Elizabeth Jones and his son William Henry Jr. m. Sally Jones. I've had an easier time researching these lines than my Henry's. Despite what numerous people believe, through my documentation they where NOT RELATED LINES. Families migrated together, with my Henry's they migrated with Elizabeth's maternal line which I have documented in the adjoining county. Patti

Looking for any information on the James Henry family. I really don't know when exactly James was born there is a big difference in ages on the census's. He married a Susie Marham or Markhaus,I don't know if this is his only wife. He had a son named George Franklin Henry born April 1865, who married Fannie Fisher, daughter to Morris Fisher . She was born on Dec. 16, 1865. George and Fannie both died in Union Co. and both are buried in Mt. Olive cemetery. If anyone has a listing of Mt. Olive cemetery i would appreciate a look up to see if James and Susie are buried there. I also know nothing about the Fisher side of the family at this time. Is there a way to get copies of Georges and Fannies obit's? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carol

Do you know for sure that your grandfather was for sure born with the last name Henry? If so, and you have a male descendant of his, you could join our Henry DNA Project to help you find the group that he belonged to. You could also go to a library that has Heritage Quest, and do search of Texas in 1920, and look at the Henry families who were there. It would narrow down your search somewhat. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gibbs3@comcast.net> To: <HENRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 2:20 PM Subject: [HENRY] Henry, born 2/28/1920 Fort Worth TX > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Henry > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JRi.2ACEB/3307 > > Message Board Post: > > Any connections out there to the following?

Hi Carol, Marie, I read your message board posts. My maternal grandmother was Zada (HENRY) MCCOLLUM b 1874; she was d/o Harrison HENRY and Belinda MCCREARY. I have a file of related HENRYs and other Scots-Irish that came to Eastern OH and Western PA, most from Washington Co., PA, and some from the area between Chester Co., PA and DE. There are a few HARRISONs, which I haven't done much work on yet. If you go to the rootsweb search page http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi and search on Zada Henry, one of the files you get will be mine -- it is called "henrymac."

In doing my genealogy of my father's family, I have found two adopted Great Great grandfathers. I would not have known if a distant relative that I came across last year had not told me. None of it is listed in any official papers I have found. I am researching the family anyway, as if there were no adopted ancestors. I am telling you this because some of you may think you have the wrong family line because your DNA was not right. You may have some ancestors like mine. In my case, the adopted GGGrandfathers were always in the wives' lines and not the Henrys but it could be that some of you have this situation in your male Henry line. You may be tracing the right family but not match up with the right DNA. Dawn

Patti, You are correct. The "he" that I was talking about was Russell Jones Henry and not George Washington Henry whom I had been discussing in the previous paragraph. I knew what I was talking about. I just didn't communicate it very well, but when I said that his first wife Susie Ogle Henry died in 1880, I believe you would have known that I was discussing Russell Jones Henry and not his son.
