Sometime between 04 Aug 1870 and 1880, Henry migrated from West Virginia to Ohio,

By 1910, Henry bought a farm and moved his family to Gore, Falls-Gore Township, Hocking County, Ohio.
By 1920, he was back working as a laborer for Keota Mining. About 1923, Henry
retired from the coal mines and he and Mary moved from Gore to Logan. He and Mary lived at 185 Culver Street
when he died on 29 Nov 1931 at age 78. Mary died the next year. They are buried in Gore
