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.
Decatur Co., Indiana, Greensburg PO, Washington Twp. p. 185 June
8, 1870
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.
