    Birth:
    possibly Germany

    Will and Last Testament:
    His will was drawn up 24 September, 1799. Henry died 14 December, 1799 and the will was probated 1 January, 1800. He left to the Lower Salford Mennonite Meeting House 10 pounds to be used for the poor of the congregation.

    To his son John he left the plantation which consisted of one hundred and thirty -two acres, all of the original acreage bought by his grandfather. To John he also left the large family Bible, originally belonging to Andrew Lederach (John's) Grandfather. He named as executors his son John and son-in-law, Abraham Shott. The will was witnessed by Godshalk Godshalk and Jacob Ziegler, who made an inventory of the personal estate which valued at £345 17s, 19p.

    In his will, Henry named his children in order of age: Molly (Mally), Magdalena, Elizabeth, Henry, Catherine, Ann, and John ( See will below). His account book follows the same order and therefore, since the first payment went to Joseph Tyson, it can be surmised that he was the husband of Molly. The second name in the account is Henry Price who is definitely known to be the husband of Magdalena. assuming this order what follows is Jacob Clemens, husband of Elizabeth, Andrew Zigler (also a certainty) and Abraham Shutt or Shott husband of Anna.

    Henry is buried in the family graveyard on the farm. During the early 1980's there were 6 tombstones but today (Jan 1999) there are only 2 stones left to mark the graves.
