Miscellaneous:
Henry and his wife, Margaret, had perhaps three children: Catharine (#98), Henry, and John.

Offman's translation by Calvin Hinshaw, and proof read by said Hinshaw and David Hold in 1959.) (Source of information for Henry is ancestry.com. This needs to be further researched.)
On April 26, 2006 Norman Sharpe (Great
Great Great Great Grandson), Helen Leach (#4) (Great Great Great Great

Church Cemetery located in a pasture on Rufus J. Dale's farm in Alamance
County on Bellemont-Kimesville Rd. near the village of Belmont (near
Graham) just off highway 49. By using a map that is part of the document
titled Investigations at Historic Stoner's Cemetery (31AM174,174**)
by Dr. Linda France Stine, (PO Box 268, Julian, NC 27283; prepared for
Stoner's Cemetery Preservation Fund Board, PO Box 2191, Burlington,
N.C. 27216-2191, June 21, 1998), Henry's stone was located. His stone
was buried in the earth and is one of the stones marked by a red flag
at the top of the hill near the large stone of John Noe shown below.
As shown on his stone below, it is very
difficult to read anything but his name. However, in her report referred
to earlier, Dr. Linda France Stine stated that the stone states "Died
in His LXXIVth Year Ap or Ad??" and there are 4 incised lines at
the base. He was 69 when he died in 1815 according to her Dr. Stine's
document.
