Biography

Henry was born in 1837 in England. He was the son of Thomas Bryant and Mary Luck. At the age of 14, in 1851, he immigrated to the United States with his mother and stepfather Paul Crouch (his father had passed away in 1842) and other siblings. He worked on Jacob Garner's family farm in Columbia, Herkimer County, New York. In 1857, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States in Herkimer County Court. In 1858, he bought some land together with his brother William near Amboy, Oswego County, New York. Around 1860 he married Jacob Garner's daughter Mariah and it appears they stayed in Columbia until at least June 1863, as he is registered there for the Civil War draft at that time. He and Mariah moved to Amboy by 1865 with their two children at that time. After Mariah passed away in 1879, Henry married a second time to Dora Short in 1884 and had another child with her. He remained in Amboy the rest of his life and passed away in 1911.
