General Notes: Husband - Robert Henry

South Strabane Twp, Washington Co, PA

He took up a tract of land on a Virginia certificate received in February, 1780. It was surveyed as "Redstone," containing three hundred and thirty-three acres. On the 21st of November, 1793, he purchased one hundred and eighty-nine acres of Craig Ritchie, and on the 3d of May, 1799, he purchased one hundred and seventy-nine acres of Thomas Kerr (who inherited the tract of three hundred and thirteen acres called "Witches' Haunt" of his father), and on the 28th of March, 1803, he purchased one hundred and thirty-five acres of the heirs of Robert Doak. These four purchases made an area of eight hundred and thirty-six acres.

For many years he was engaged in trading, and among other ventures brought salt across the mountains with a train of saddle horses. He also followed agricultural pursuits with considerable success, having settled on a farm later occupied by his grandson, Robert D. Henry. He was a member of the Seceder Church of Pigeon Creek, and one of its early founders. He was a very prominent man in all social organizations, and in politics he was an Old-line Whig.
