Biography

The first record of William Henry discloses that while "of Stow," June 24, 1735, he bought, for 80 pounds, 116 acres in the southeast part of Lunenburg from Nathaniel Page (Worcester Co. Land Records, Bk. 6, p. 190). While still of Stow, December 8, 1741, he bought from Robert Russell of Lunenburg another parcel there, bordering land of William Wallis (Ib., Bk. 15, p. 27). The first piece adjoined lands owned by Captain Joseph Gould and Davie Pierce. In these deeds he is called "husbandman." He divided his 124 acres in Lunenburg equally between his sons William and George, April 17, 1752, when all were "of Lunenburg" (Ibid.,k Bk. 31, p. 508, and Bk. 39, p. 22). Doubtless his son Robert had previously received his portion. William died after 1753 when his son William still was being called "Jr." Nothing is known of his wife.

Hugh was b. in Orkney, Scotland in 1665 but later moved to Route Quarters, Antrim, Ireland. He apparently died in Route Quarters, Ireland.

FSFTID L6JT-3RW.

Henry-3220 and Henry-2387 appear to represent the same person because: Many details are the same (parents, children). Place of birth is different.
