1850 U.S. Federal Mortality Schedule, Page 623, Line 2 - Henry W. Walston, Sr. died in September, 1849 in Militia District 805, Troup County, Georgia at the age of 82. Cause of death was Polsey. Number of days ill 110. His occupation is listed as Planter. His place of birth is listed as North Carolina. (Using the age of 82 at death, we calculate his year of birth to be 1767.)

It seems that Henry W. Walston was living with son-in-law and daughter, Jonathan & Sarah (Walston) Kolb when he passed away. This theory is based on information from the 1850 Census record which records his wife, Mary (Gay) Walston living with Jonathan & Sarah (Walston) Kolb - Militia District 805, Troup County, Georgia, Enumerated on October 9 1850 by Thomas C. Evans - Family # 500.

We find Henry and Mary (Gay) Walston on the 1840 U.S. Federal Census living in District 700, Troup County, Georgia. Their homestead property was in Hogansville, which is in District 700, Troup County.

All ten of Henry Walston's children and his wife, Mary, are named in his Last Will and Testament, dated January 15, 1848, Troup County, Georgia. The will was recorded on November 24, 1849. Son, Gillum Walston, and son-in-law, Jonathan Kolb, were names as Executors.
