Kathleen, I am not a descendant of Patrick Henry, but I am researching the family of Sarah Shelton, his first wife. One of his descendants wrote a 3 volume set of books containing all his speeches and letters, back in the 1890's and Volume II has a genealogy of his descendants in the appendix. Unfortunately, I've only wrote down and typed up the lineage down from his first wife, but the larger lineage from his second marriage is also listed in the book. I've included what is given about his first marriage below. You should check with your library and state archives to see if they have this old 3 volume set. Hope this helps. Robert C.
