Father: Research Grouping Only! Catawba River Henrys
Marriage 1
Isabella b: Abt 1728
- Married:
- Note: The children listed here are assumed to be the children of Thomas and Isabella Henry. Some sources suggest that Thomas Henry married Martha Shields in Mecklenburg Co., NC in 1764, and still other sources have referred to the bride as Martha Isabella Shields. If this is correct, then this marriage was probably the second for both Thomas and Isabella, a possibility supported by a grouping of children born beginning with Robert Henry in 1765 and continuing into the mid-1770s, when Thomas was in his 50s and Isabella was in her 40s. The possibility certainly exists that Thomas had (during an earlier marriage) another household in the area of Beatty's Ford (one possible child being James Henry, b. abt. 1755, who married Dorcas Henry and had sons named Thomas and William).

Title: Letter to Dr. J. F. E. Hardy from William L. Henry
Author: William L. Henry
Text: To Dr. J. F. E. Hardy.
Asheville, N. C.
My Dear Sir and Kind Friend;
I send you the MS of my father, ROBERT HENRY. He was born in Tryon (now Lincoln) county, N. C. in a roll pen, 10th February, 1765; was a lawyer and surveyor by profession; was one of the first settlers in Buncombe county; taught School on Swannanoa, the first school taught in Buncombe county. He died in Clay county, N. C. February 6th, 1863; wanting but four days of being 98 years old. THOMAS HENRY, his father, died soon after the Revolution, of rheumatism contracted during the war. THOMAS HENRY was from the North of Ireland.
I do not want this manuscript lost, as you see it is in ROBERT HENRY'S own hand, and a little relic. If not used, I should like it should be returned to.
Respectfully,
WM. L. HENRY
ASHEVILLE,
Buncombe County, N. C.
