His middle initial was G. so I suspect his middle name was George (his brother George was killed in 1863). He is a bit of an enigma. According to family tradition he had a son Patrick B. Henry with an unknown woman about 1852 when he was only 17 but there is no evidence of that and it appears he and Francis had a son Patrick about 1877. He married Francis E. "Fannie" OMER 30 Jan 1860 in Union Co, KY with whom he had 8 or 9 kids: Anna "Annie", Sterling Price, Robert Lee, Georgie, Thomas Welch (or Jefferson?), Sarah Katherine "Sallie", Ella (possibly Elvira Lackland), Francis Moore, and possibly Patrick and Willian I. memorial 103135434. We believe Fannie died about 1881. I have found none of the family in the 1880 census except married Anna.

He married Sarah D. Howerton 30 Mar 1891 in Crittenden Co, KY. They had no kids. He married Charlotte L. Howerton 20 Apr 1893 in Crittenden Co. They had Lola L. and William Bryant Henry. Sarah and Charlotte were sisters.

Family tradition is he was a Confederate soldier early in the Civil War.

His kids' middle names give some clues as to their interests and ancestry. Richards and Moore are known ancestral surnames. Price and Lee are probably references to the Confederate generals Sterling Price and Robert E. Lee. But the connections to Welch and Bryant, and posssibly Letdaughter and Irvin are mysteries. (A similar review can be made of his siblings's middle names.)

Please note, I am not sure if he is buried in Bethel or Shady Grove Cem. Bethel Cem, Crittenden County is where his mother, father and other fam are buried. [email protected]
