Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Amidon-132

Henry was born 8 Feb 1698 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. He was the son of Philip Amidowne and Mehitable Perry.[1] [Please note there is an inconsistency in the transcription of the birth record which gives his father's name as "Antiphas." Original records should be consulted. The proof of his parentage comes from being named as the oldest son in Philip's will and also being named in the will of his maternal grandfather, Samuel Perry. If there are objections, please participate in the comment section below or start a discussion on g2g].
