Henry V. Barnum
Henry V. BARNUM. Enlisted in Company D, 27th Michigan on 31 Dec 1862;
------------------------------
On 8 Oct 1828, Henry purchased land at Charlotte Township from his father. On 12 Jul 1833, he petitioned as the son of a United Empire Loyalist. He sold his land at Charlotteville Township in 1835 and 1836. He then moved to Michigan and, in the Popular Rebellion of 1837-38, supported the revolt of William Lyon McKenzie, joining an ill-fated expedition to conquer part of Canada. Henry was captured on 28 Dec 1838, convicted of treason, and sentenced to life at hard labor in the penal colony of Van Diemens Land (Tasmania), Australia.
He arrived at Tasmania aboard HMS Buffalo on 12 Feb 1840, along with others convicted in the rebellion. Henry received a pardon dated 2 Dec 1844 and returned home only to find that his wife Adeliza Lauretta, thinking that he would never return, had remarried and born a child with her second husband.
The couple decided that she should stay with her child and second husband. She subsequently joined the Mormon Church and moved to Utah. Henry settled at Ypsilanti, Michigan and married Esther Saterlee.
When the Civil War began, Henry was too old to enlist. However, he gave a false age and entered Wormer's Company, Stanton Guards, Michigan Infantry at Ypsilanti on 9 May 1862. He enlisted in Company D of the 27th Regiment, Michigan Infantry on 31 Dec of that same year, and died of disease (chronic diarrhea) in the Main Street General Hospital at Covington, Kentucky while in service.
Henry's obituary, which restates some of the information given above, reads as follows:
BARNUM, Henry Verveelen, (1812-1865)
b. 2 Mar 1812 in Charlotteville, Norfolk Co, Ontario Canada d. 18 Jul 1865
Death: Killed in the service of the United States in the Civil War at Covington, Ky. After the marriage of Henry Verveelen Barnum and Adeliza Lauretta Truman (whose brother & sister, resectively, were also married) the family lived in Michigan.
In 1838 he participated in the so-called Patriot War and joined an ill-fated expedition to conquer part of Canada. There he was captured by British soldiers, tried before a British court martial and sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labour in the British penal colony in Van Dieman's land now Tasmania, in the Pacific Ocean. After a little less than ten years, however, he was pardoned by Queen Victoria and returned to Michigan. There he found that his wife, with whom he had been unable to communicate with during this period, had given him up for dead and had just remarried.
Notwithstanding their continued affection for each other, they decided Adeliza's newly born baby by her second marriage needed her care more than their own two children, who were now fourteen and eleven, respectively. So Adeliza Lauretta went to Utah with the LDS Church and Henry settled in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Spouse. Truman, Adeliza Lauretta, (1814-1890)
