Henry Heiman, Sr. (1826 [April 1824 and age 46 on 1870 Chambers County census] Germany - 1919 Chambers Co) married Mary Ann Walter (May 1, 1816 [May 1824 and age 46 on 1870 Chambers County Census] - 10/4/1897) in 1844 in Anahuac. They moved to Smith Point in the 1860s and purchased 400 acres. Their graves were later moved from the Heiman Cemetery at Smith Point to Anahuac. Mary Walter's mother was also Mary Walter (5/2/1799 Germany - 5/12/1885 Texas], but age 73 on the 1870 Chambers County census.
The 1900 Chambers County census has Henry and Mary Heiman both age 76 which would be a second source indicating they were born in 1824.
Henry Heiman Sr. arrived first in Albany, New York, in 1834, then came to Galveston July 8, 1838. He fought in the 3rd Texas Infantry.
