Individual Details

A Henry Garner whose wife was Nancy. was born in Rowan Co, North Carolina, did live for a time in Kentucky, but a court case in 1851 concerning the sale of his land for the benefit of his nine heirs, proves that he had a very different family, see later. However, a power of attorney in his Pension file, R3919, from Hardin Co TN, says that his wife was Nancy who died in 1819. Henry himself lived until 1835. This man has often been conflabulated with this Henry whose wife was Nancy Poole. The Rev War Henry had a very different set of children in Hardin Co TN, and appears to have married a second time to an Elizabeth.
