Henry Sr served in the Revolutionary War from Washington County, Virginia and in 1782 was allowed 15 pounds for a horse lost in Service. Henry Sr.'s service is on record at the DAR headquarters in Washington. Henry Yeary Sr. and his son Henry Yeary Jr. at age 15 fought at King's Mountain. Henry Sr. was wounded and may have walked with a limp there after."Henry David Yeary was on the patriotic body of heroic forces under Ferguson at King's Mountain, S.C. By their valor and endurance, they won a victory which, coming at this time, gave cheer and encouragement to the great American cause." ~Washington D.C. archives~Endnotes
