Have been told Martin HENRY came from York, (county?) PA. Would have been in 1800's. Could he have been Pennsylvania-Dutch? Is Henry a dutch name? Or his wife's maiden name Wilhelm? Martin moved on to Ohio. Looking for information of his parents name.

If Henry came from the Pennsylvania Dutch area, it is certain that his original name was Heinrich, as Henry is an english name. But upon landing in America when he told the purser or immigration official his name, that person wrote down "Henry" being the the nearest to Heinrich.
