His second wife, Hannah HENRY, was born 24 Sep 1771 Franconia Tp, Montgomery Co PA (now Philadelphia Co) (were his two HENRY wives sisters?). His oldest child, a male, was born between 1774 and 1784. A daughter, Catharine LAY, 1792-1876, and her husband, Christian HENRY (1790-1871) were both born in Bucks Co PA. Another son, my 3GGF, John LAY, born between 1790-1794, had a Sheriff's Deed issued on his Mifflin Tp, Cumberland Co, land in 1825. His wife remarried to a LORE and had a son, Joseph LORE (born c1825) who lived in Terre Haute IN in 1907. The LAY family intermarried with the HENRY family and lived near each other in Henry's (Diehl's or Sheaffer's) Valley, Perry Co, just over the mountain north of Mifflin Twp., Cumberland Co. http://www.people.virginia.edu/~kl2u/Genealogy.html
