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.
