Following notes for Henry McBride from "Champaign County, Illinois County History"

Henry McBride, formerly one of the most prosperous farmers of Scott Township, in 1885 retired to the village of Bondville, where he is enjoying the rest and comfort to which the industry and economy of former years have fully entitled him. He became a resident of Illinois in the spring of 1867, locating first in Fulton County, where he farmed on rented land, and whence he afterward removed to Piatt County of which he was a resident for twelve years. He removed to Bondville in the Spring of 1886, where he has become one of its most highly respected citizens. He is a native of Frederick Co., MD, born Sept. 6, 1832, the son of George and Sophia McBride. They also were born in Maryland, where they were reared and married, and where the mother Sophia died in about 1836. In the Fall of 1853 George McBride removed to Piatt County, where his death took place Sept. 6, 1884. The three children of the parental household all grew in mature years.

When Henry McBride was sixteen years of age, he became a resident of the Buckeye State, and there lived until the Spring of 1867. He was bred to farming pursuits, which he followed in Ohio and after coming to this state. Before leaving Ohio, our subject was married in Preble County, Oct. 25, 1855, to Miss Rebecca M., daughter of William and Mary A. (Martin) Kelley. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were natives of Virginia, whence they removed to Ohio in about 1814. The wife of our subject was born Jan. 14, 1831, and their marriage resulted in the birth of eight children, of whom Viola C., died when two years old; Luella S. the wife of Thomas Stephenson, is a resident of Piatt County, this State; Mary A. is at home; Charles Ruhl, resides in this county; William H.(?) Cora O. and Arthur K. remain on the homestead. Mr. and Mrs. McBride are members in good standing of the Methodist Church, and our subject, politically, casts his vote in support of Republican principles.
