I tie more to the Henry/Denton clan in the Montgomery County, KY area...however these are cousins. Lewis (Louis) Henry 1821-1869 m. Catherine "Kitty" Rule. They are found in Eastern KY areas of Floyd, Morgan, Magoffin. Lewis seems to have served CSA. However, most of Kitty's kin served Union including the Friend, Dixon, Patrick, Rule, and Turner clans. Lewis was at one time sherriff of Floyd County, as were the Rule bunch. Friend family also constables, magistrates, attorneys etc. They all interacted on a daily basis. The Friend and Rule clans leave KY by 1870 either because of political pressures (folks didn't take kindly to Union sympathizers) and/or a epidemic that wiped out many of the kinfolk. The Friend/Rule/Dixon bunch winds up in Lawrence Co, OH near Ironton. Possibly, the Henry cousins went with? I dunno. Some of Lewis Henry's kids went to OKLAHAMA...and my Denton/Friend bunch seem to have visited/followed them for a time. Hope this might give you a lead...if you can follow my ramblings! LOL Joyce
