Henry appears in the 1805 and 1810 census. >From a family history that I have, it states that Sir James and brother Henry left Scotland and landed in Norfolk Virginia, depositing the family Coat of Arms in the clerk's office in Norfolk. They went to North Carolina and Henry married Neama Canty. The brothers moved to Wilkinson County in the Mississippi Territory. James did not marry. Henry had five sons and two daughters. One of these daughters was Pamelia Nicholson, born January 27, 1788. Am seeking any and all information about this family. Thank you so much!
