~ My Great Grandfather ~

Henry Cornelius Birch was born to Billings Birch and Catherine Peters Birch, the fourth of seven children.

He married Christina May Jones on August 22nd, 1868. Together they had 12 children, 10 who lived past childhood and into adulthood. They were Abigail Catherine, Charles Henry, Christina May, George Washington, William Franklin, Charlotte (Lottie), Effie J., Jessie Billings, Clarence Clyde, Edward Edson, and Fred (no middle name).

In 1920,Henry and Christina moved in with their son Edward and their grandson, as Edward had lost his young wife. Henry lived with his son until his death in 1929.

Unfortunately, I know very little about my Great Grandparents, on my Dad's side. My Daddy never knew them or even knew what his grandparents looked like, until I received this photo from a newly found cousin! I just know they were poor, and farmed, and had a lot of children to raise. They must have been good people though, if their children were like them at all.
