I agree that David has done a wonderful job as well.I think the wedding date of Henry and Elizabeth is a typo and should be 1786 not 1796.
I do know Henry's son moved to Indiana with his wife Rebecca Saunders and she later returned to Kentucky when her husband died.She and her younger children lived with Henry until they were bound out.Henry lost the farm and it was sold at auction and purchased by a person named Flynn who was later run out of town for scamming people.
Henry's grandson did die in a mental institution and was buried there. David reports him as being buried in a cemetary in Ohio County, but it is the wrong Henry.I have been to that cemetary.He only had two wives.The 2nd wife file for his Civil War pension and it was granted.I have been to Henry's farm and it is located on Panther Creek near Easton, KY.The farm is owned by someone else other than the family now, but some of the children are buried there.
