Henry Holzklau

(10 May 1775 - 1857)



Henry was confirmed in 1794. He married Sarah Huffman in 1801. He attended communion alone in 1803, his last appearance in the church records. Sarah never appeared, probably because she was Reformed rather than German Lutheran. The family moved to KY.
He is said buried Union Cemetery #2, Nobob, Barren Co, KY

Sarah was the daughter of Margaret Harnsberger and Henry Huffman. She married Henry Holtzclaw on April 11, 1801 in Madison Co., VA. Union Cemetery was first known as the Holtzclaw Burying Ground and all early Holsclaw/Holtzclaws are buried here. The first to be buried here was Sarah Huffman Holsclaw in 1843. The story that has been passed down through the family was that "snow was on the ground and they hitched a grey horse to a sled and took her to the back of the garden and buried her".
