George Henry (c.1760 – 4 March 1817) was not the son of William Henry (19 May 1729 -15 December 1786) and Anne Wood (24 January 1734 – 8 March 1799) of Lancaster, PA.
Documentary and DNA evidence disproves the theory that George was their son. The burial entry for Anne (Wood) Henry in the Lancaster Moravian Church record states she had 13 children, of whom six died in infancy.
It identifies six children surviving at the time of her death as: (1) William Henry, b. 12 March 1757, (2) John Joseph, b. 4 November 1758, (3) Abraham, b. 14 March 1768, (4) James, b. 13 March 1771, (5) Matthaeus (Matthew), b. 6 June 1773, and (6) Benjamin, b. 18 January 1777. The seventh child who survived infancy, Elizabeth, b. 27 March 1765, died 1 June 1798, after her father’s death and before her mother’s.
Records indicate George Henry, b. c.1760, the third child and third son of William and Anne Henry, died as an infant. The Henry Surname DNA Project, a Y-chromosome based effort, includes direct male descendants of both George Henry and William Henry. Y-chromosome DNA test results indicate George Henry and his descendants are haplogroup J2a4b, and that William Henry and his descendants are haplogroup R1b1a2. This definitively establishes the fact that the two lines are not related within genealogical time.
