Son of Isaac Jayne and Mary Jones
Husband of Abigail Wheeler∼During the years prior to the Revolution when colonists were growing desperate under the exactions of King George, patriotism and valor were manifested to a marked degree in Goshen Township, Orange County, New York and on June 8, 1775, over 360 men signed the Revolutionary Pledge at Goshen. Henry Jayne was one of the signers. In the mid 1770s Henry was working in Goshen for the Sterling Ironworks Factory making guns and cannon for the American Army. During the war, this factory made the famous Chain that was put into the Hudson River to protect West Point. As a result Henry was listed as exempt from the Loyalty Pledge on 8 Jun 1775.
