"Henry Barney, with his family, moved to Illinois and then to Iowa, where they joined the Church. They settled in Nauvoo, Illinois, where* he married a young widow with six children. They had a son in Springfield, Illinois, and shortly after, made the trek to the Valley. They lived in Provo and Manti where two more children were born, and then they went south to help settle several communities (including) New Harmony, Grafton, and Virgin City. He served as a bishop's counselor for a time. Henry was reputed to be an adopted son of John D. Lee. They lived in New Harmony at the time of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. He was not directly involved but remained behind to take the water turns of those who went. He is listed as receiving some of the spoils. He operated the first molasses mill in Dixie. He took to wife an Indian girl amid some controversy. Some time later, his first wife, Marcy, took the children and went to Kanarra. In 1863 he married Mary Powell and they helped settle the "Muddy Mission," and later Monroe, Utah. Henry spent his last years in Cannonville, Utah, where he died in a cave-in while digging an irrigation canal."

Henry Barney--The rawhide-bottom chairs used in the prayer circle room, Stake Presidency and Relief Society rooms of the old Bishop‘s Building in Panguitch, were made of ashwood from Ash Creek, Dixie, by Henry Barney. Meetings of which at that time were held in the old tithing office in Panguitch. Later when the Bishop's building was erected in 1911, they were taken to the upstairs room which had been dedicated and set apart for the purpose of holding prayer circle. These chairs were made between 1890 and 1900 during the time Jesse W. Crosby served as Stake President. Sarah Houston helped to make the cushions for the chairs when her husband, James Houston, was Stake President. During the time Elizabeth W. Henderson was Relief Society Stake President of Panguitch Stake permission was given to her and her board members to use the upper room of the Bishop‘s Building for their meetings. They used these chairs for about fifteen years. They were later taken downstairs and used in the Seminary room. In 1950, when the new Welfare building was dedicated, they were taken there to be preserved.

Henry Barney was born in Illinois where later he married Marcy Lucas. Together they came to Utah, in 1850. At first they lived in Salt Lake, but later moved to Provo and from there to Manti. They lived a year in Parowan, then moved on to Dixie. When Panguitch was settled in 1872, they moved there. I have a stand in my home that grandfather Henry Barney made about that time.--Josephine B. Smith
Heart Throbs of the West, Vol. 3 (Pioneer Mills and Millers):
"The molasses business is one of Dixie's outstanding accomplishments. Henry Barney ran the first molasses mill in 1858 or 1859 at Virgin. It was made with wooden rollers, out of mountain mahogany. It was such a primitive affair and had to run night and day in order to take care of the cane, before heavy frosts came. It squeaked so that it could be heard all over town and sounded just like a flock of geese. The boiler was made out of the bottom of a cook stove, with wooden sides fastened at the corners with wooden screws, and corked with cotton to keep it from leaking...."
