The picture above was taken when Martha Henry was 90 years old. We have very little information on this family. There seems to be a great number of Henry families in Kentucky that need to be researched. Some elude to a connection to Patrick Henry.

This census shows Martha Henry with sons and daughters. Margaret A. Henry is supposed to have married in March of 1869 but listed here as a Henry. She seems to show up in the next record in the house of William Crouch with Duncan as a last name.

Margaret A. Duncan is said to have been only been married about a year by this date so we're surprized that the husband, Wm. F. Duncan, doesn't show up here since they were to have married 7 March 1869 in Johnson Co., Indiana.
