Henry Bare II was born in May of 1804 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. He was the ninth child of Henry Bare I. Henry’s first wife died leaving two children John Bare and Susie Bare. Henry’s siblings with his father’s second wife were: Jacob, Adrian or Adam, Sarah “Sally” Rankin, Catherine “Kate” Sterling, Hannah Connister, Annie Broyles, Henry II and the youngest son, Andrew.
Henry and his brother Andrew migrated from Jefferson County to Hamilton County prior to 1837, and settled at Birchwood where they reared families and both acquired substantial acreages of land, according to tax receipts.
Henry Bare II married Malinda Frie on April 5, 1838, in Meigs County, and they lived at Birchwood. Malinda had been orphaned at the age of nine years and brought to Tennessee to be reared in the home of her uncle and aunt, the Sam Frie’s at Blythe’s Ferry, three miles north of Birchwood near the junction of the Tennessee and Hiwasse Rivers.
Henry built a small log house by the spring; and, there six of he and Malinda’s seven children were born: Jacintha Ann Casey-Lillard, Elizabeth Jane Conner, Jasper Newton, James Polk, Paulina Evaline Lee, and Aurelius Marion. They built a two-story house in 1849, farther to the west. It was shaded by huge oak trees. The house was eighteen by twenty feet in size with no windows and no partitions, originally, but two doors opposite each other. A long opening caused by a crooked log in the east end provided light. A ladder nailed to the wall gave access to the second floor, or loft. The house was built like his father’s (Henry Bare I) in Jefferson County. (James Polk had described the ladder on the wall and the difficulty in climbing it modestly when dressed for bed in only his short nightshirt.)
Henry and Malinda’s youngest child, Nancy Catherine “Kate” Bare Young, was born in the new house. This house burned down in 1916, and a smaller one was constructed in its place, with the chimney built on the same foundation.
Henry Bare died at the age of forty-nine years when his baby girl was not yet two years old. At the time of his death he had acquired about one thousand acres of land. He established a burying ground on this land with the intention of building a Presbyterian Church nearby. He, his brother Andrew, and other relatives including James Polk’s baby, David, are buried in the little cemetery. A monument in their memory now stands on this burying ground with the names Henry Bare, Two Infant Grandchildren, James T. Casey, David Bare, Andrew Bare and Wife Priscella, Two Children Elbert and Sissy.
