General Notes: Husband - William Henry

---

He and his wife were both born in Londonderry, Ireland, coming to America in 1770 in the same ship, but unmarried. Three brothers of William Henry came with him, this family being related to the Patrick Henry family of Virginia. One brother settled in the west, one in the south, William and another brother locating in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There William married, and about 1790 moved to Mifflin County, where he bought a tract of land in Brown township. He cleared and improved his farm and resided there until his death in 1822, leaving a widow and family. He was an elder of the Presbyterian church.
