William was born on 25 December 1810 in Union County, Kentucky.
He married Mary Ann (Jane?) Sitler on 11 November 1832. They had 13 children.
1840 Census: (males) two under 5 (Joseph 1 & William Jr 5), one 5-10 (Alexander), one 20-30 (William Sr 30) and (females) one under 5 (Harriet 3), one 20-30 (Mary 25). Actually, I think son William's birthday (October) would be after the census was taken so would still be 4, not 5, but doesn't matter, everyone is accounted for.
1850 Census: Lists: W AM Henry, Mary A, W, Harriet, Jos D, Thomas L, M P, A E, Geo W and E G. This would be: William Alexander McCune Henry, Mary Ann Henry, William Henry, Harriet Henry, Joseph Dixon Henry, Thomas L, Henry, Marcus P Henry, Ann E Henry, George Washington Henry and Eleazor Givins Henry.
