The first wife of Henry York was Eve Dorthy WEIR who died in 1788 at age 52 in Randolph County, North Carolina leaving him with twelve young children without a mother and wife. Soon after on 15 Jan 1789 Henry York age 57 married his neighbor Margaret age 15, daughter of John William LENDERMAN and his wife Catharine HUTT. By 1800 Henry York with his new young wife Margaret LENDERMAN, his children by both wives left Randolph County. The Henry YORK family along with the LENDERMAN families loaded all their goods into wagons in Randolph County. They migrated west to Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, North Carolina where he died in 1817 at age 85.
The seven children of Henry YORK and Margaret LENDERMAN are:
1. William York, b. 1791; d. 1870
2. Eve Dorthy York; 1792; d. 1858
3. Sarah York, b. 1794; d. 1835
4. Henry York, b. 1796; d. 187
5. Elizabeth York, b. 1798; d. 1858
6. Zipha York, b. 1802; d. 1852
7. Leonard York, b. 1804; d. 1882
Margaret LENDERMAN YORK lived until 1834 where she died in Vigo County, Indiana. She was living with her son Leonard York per the 1830 U S Census in Vigo County, Indiana who perhaps migrated to Iowa after his mothers death. Most likely she went to live with her daughter Sarah YORK SHEW in Vigo County, Indiana. It is reasonable to believe that her daughter Sarah YORK and Son in Law John Phillip SHEW buried her in 1834 in their Barbour Cemetery although there is no documentation no tombstone to prove or disprove it.
