Thanks Tiffany and Gay,
Tiffany-- if you put in Rachel Brown into the IGI search along with Illinois and the date 1837, you'll pull up two entries for the marriage. Henry's last name is misspelled in both, so it is difficult to search with his name.
I am now 90% convinced that Henry is the father. It's hard to argue with a marriage record and with his name being on 2 or more censuses. Last year I did some research at the Library of Congress and found records for the children of Joseph (Asher, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew) Moulthrop and Lorana Grannis, m. 1774:
Joseph
Lorana
Anna
Levi
Elihu
William
Henry (or possibly Henry Hervey, as it appears in some records)
Polly
I'm thinking this is the family of our Henry Moulthrop.
There are 2 or 3 William Moulthrops who are contemporaries of each other. I received a family tree from the VT branch of the family, and he believes the son William Moulthrop b.1794 in Westminster, VT, settled finally in Loudonville, Ohio after a possible stop in Erie, PA. Then there is the William Moulthrop who is recorded as living his full life in Connecticut. Now I'm hearing from you, Gay, that there is a William Moulthrop from Portland, OR? Is this William E Moulthrop the son of Joseph as per my list above?
William Binih Henry Moulthrop, b.1854 was my ancestor and the youngest of Rachael Brown Moulthrop and (Henry) Moulthrop. You'll see him on the different censuses as Willie B. or W.B. His name is another reason why I was assuming his father's name was William (along with Rosa's death certificate-- which entry could have been an error).
Also of possible interest is a land grant of 27 Feb 1818 given to William Moulthrop after (or for) his service in the War of 1812, in Hancock Cty., IL.
And I found two army enlistment records: William (b.1798) enlisted Jan. 26, 1819 in New Haven, CT. James (b.1813) enlisted in 1839 in Hartford CT.
