About John Durke Henry

Henry's grandparents, Robert and Mary Ann Henry, who were of Scotch ancestry, sailed for America, via Coleraine, Ireland, with their three adult sons John, Robert and James in the year 1722, arriving the same year at New Castle, Delaware, whence, after a brief stop, they proceeded to their plantation in West Cain Township, in the charming environment of Chester County, Province of Pennsylvania. Here both parents died on the same day in 1735, the husband in the morning and the wife in the afternoon, and were buried in the same grave at Boyd's Presbyterian Meeting House.Of the sons James married Mary Ann, and Robert, Sarah Davis, sisters, who with their eight children removed to Virginia. John, the oldest son and the father of William whose life we are recording, married, in 1728 Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh and Mary (Jenkins) DeVinne, of Huguenot descent, who in 1723 settled in the vicinity of the Henry plantation. John Henry died in 1747, leaving to the care of his widow, two sons and three daughters, of whom William was the oldest child. The daughters married into the families of Postlethwait, Bickham and Carson.
