Biography
Hugh Henry Sr is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A132376.
Hugh Henry Sr performed Patriotic Service in Virginia in the American Revolution.
Hugh Henry, Sr. was born circa 1730 and living in Pittsylvania county, Virginia at the time of the American Revolutionary War. Hugh took the Oath of Allegiance to the cause of the Patriots, in Pittsylvania county, in 1777. [1] Hugh is honored for his Patriotic Service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as DAR Ancestor #A132376. DAR records indicate that Hugh died before July, 1808, in Robertson county, Tennessee and that his wife's name was Mary Donelson. Applications for membership in the Society of the DAR have been made by the descendants of their son, Hugh Henry, Jr. who married Elizabeth Tommalson; and David Henry, who married Pricilla (?nee) [2]
Researchers Notes
Hugh Henry, Jr. is found on the United States Census of 1820, living in Robertson county, Tennessee. [3]
Note: there are problems with the Find A Grave memorial [1] The manager of the Find A Grave memorial is conflating Hugh Henry, who married Mary Donelson with James Hugh Henry, the son of Alexander Henry and Jean Robertson. (Everyone wants to belong to the family and be related to Patrick Henry) So THAT James Hugh Henry is found on WikiTree here: [2]
