-----
It was here [Washington County, Pennsylvania] [that Henry] was born, June 14th, 1786. In 1807, he married Miss Amy Rush, a niece of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. She was a woman of amiable temper, ardent in friendship, benevolent, and with a high sense of honor; and these noble traits of character were, in a great measure, transmitted to her children. She was a member of the Baptist church of this city, at the time of her death, in 1868, at the age of nearly 81 years. Her remains rest in the old cemetery of Iowa City.
[NOTE: Records indicate that Henry married Amy Cox who descends from Heaton, Rush and Cox family lines.]
