There he married his first cousin, Anna Pletcher who was the daughter of Samuel Pletcher and Elizabeth Yordy, on 8Dec1811. He then emigrated with members of his wife's extended family to Ohio.[1]

Samuel bought two quarter sections and his son-in-law Jacob A. Pletcher bought two quarter sections in Crawford County OH which is just west of Richland County. In the 1850 census, Jacob A. (Henry's son) and Anna (Samuel's daughter) had real estate worth $3000.[2]

Pletcher-200 and Pletcher-40 appear to represent the same person because: Pletcher-40 looks like a stub and lists Anne as his spouse. Pletcher-200 is more complete. This will clean up Anne's entry as well.
