HI Eliz Thanks for that!! Looks like another lot of research on old Henry, just trying to verify (clarify) the statements made. I may try and research (may need to find information at NARA) re the guy who hired Henry, this John Walton used Henry as a substitute. Very interesting and as usual if I can find more scraps of information on Henry I’m happy. LOL.
