| Notes |
- William Henry was a member of the Black Horse Cavalry in the Mexican War (1846-48). In 1851 he lived in Etna, OH (Licking Co.) and then moved to Delaware Co., OH in 1853. In 1865
William Henry and wife Elizabeth moved near Charleston, LLINOIS and arrived there the day that Lincoln was shot. All of William Henry's sons attended Lee's college at Loxa, except John and all later taught. In 1865 the family became ill on arrival in Illinois and James, age 13, went on horseback to Charlestown to buy food and medicine and care for the family. He decided to become a doctor which he later did. Once when William and Elizabeth were going to Harper's Ferry on the first train to that place, a wooden rail buckled and came through the railroad car and tore a hole in Elizabeth's dress; it was a narrow escape for both.
