David's parents are Thomas Hendry and Ann Miller. Thomas Hendry died in the spring of 1780 and is buried in Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY but the death and burial location of David's mother, Ann Miller, are unknown. From early Harpersfield Rural Cemetery documents, it is known she is not buried with husband Thomas.
David married Selina Hotchkiss on July 26, 1786 in Harpersfield, Delaware County, NY. Together they would have nine children; Samuel(1)(1788-1794), Polly(1)(1790-1794), Hannah(1)(1792-1794), Samuel(1794), Polly(1797), Hannah(1799), Betsy Ann(1)(1802-1804), Betsy Ann(1805), and William(1807). The first eight were all born in Harpersfield, Delaware County, NY, and William was born in Harpersfield, Ashtabula County, OH. Of note is that the first three children all died within a couple of weeks of each other, indicating some form of contagious disease, which wiped out the beginning of this family.
There is considerable material that sheds light on what David did when he left Harpersfield. In a way, he and his family, was just part of the continuing migration of the Hendrys, first west to Lake Erie, then south along the
lake shores, then west to Sandusky and then on to Angola, Indiana, and Michigan. David's oldest surviving son, Samuel Hendry, ended up in Oberlin, OH, after having spent some time in Brest, Monroe County, Michigan. A letter from
this Samuel to the Ashtabula Sentinal in 1856 tells of this Samuel's involvement in Ashtabula County in the War of 1812.
David Hendry enlisted in the Revolutionary army on April 24, 1776, and was taken prisoner in August of 1777. He moved to Harpersfield, Ohio, where his last child, William, was born. He became the first treasurer of Ashtabula County and served from 1811 to 1814. He owned 200 acres lying on both sides of what is now State Route 84. "Walter Main Road Cemetery was deeded by David Hendry in 1825. It is used as the townships 'Potters Field'." Colonel Robert Harper, War of 1812, and builder of Shandy Hall is burried here.
David Hendry served on the first Grand Jury of Ashtabula County.
