This William Henry is often referred to by researchers as "Crowders Creek William Henry".

The Crowders Creek area is located southwest of the town of Gastonia and southeast of the town of Kings Mountain. From there, Crowder's Creek flows south a few miles across the State boundary line into York County, S. C. and then into the Catawba River. The North Carolina land grants reveal that early settlers were receiving land on Crowder's Creek in the 1750s...Some researchers have speculated that the Creek may have been named for some...man named Crowder, perhaps for Michael Crowder who was on the Broad and Saludy River as early as 1753; or for Conrad "Crowdy" who also was on the Saludy River in 1755. Other researchers have speculated that the name of the Creek was originally an unpronounceable Indian name which was corrupted to the more familiar "Crowder" by English speaking record keepers. (Source: Ulrichsburg, North Carolina (established 1789) , an article by Mills Yoder Bridges).

It is possible that this deed refers to a different William Henry:
