I dont know the actual cemetery but Henry was living with son Phillip in Turkey Creek Township near Shirley in 1860 and there was a claim against his estate on 11 Jul 1861 in Van Buren County. Henry was son of Henry and Elizabeth (Chisholm) Goodnight. He married Mary Huggins daughter of Phillip and Jane Huggins. His date of birth is not certain. It could have been 1781 according to the 1850 census or 1776 according to the 1860 census. It says in the 1850 census that he was born in North Carolina. Since his father was constable in Mercer Co. KY by 1879 he must have been born before 1879. Since his father was 54 by 1812, it seems more likely that Henry, Jr. was the person serving in Dyer's Regiment of Cavalry and Mounted Gunmen, Tennessee Volunteers in the War of 1812.
He was given bounty land for his Tennessee service Warrant Number: 55-160-34882. This warrant had been assigned to Lyman B. Flint who was given a160 acre tract of land in Anderson Co., KS in 1863 signed by Abraham Lincoln.
Henry Goodnight, Jr. appeared in a petition of Duck River residents in 1806 asking for the establishment of Maury County Tennessee. Moreover, the younger Henry Goodnight, husband of Mary and father of Henry R. Goodnight had a child born in Tennessee followed by two born in Alabama, one reportedly known to be born in Lauderdale County Alabama (near Muscle Shoals) where a John Chisholm age 91, native of Virginia, died in 1828, possibly the father of Elizabeth, Henry, Sr's wife. Henry moved to the area of Van Buren Co. AR before 1840 and lived there until he died.
