Notes
Marriage
From: Indiana, Marriage Index, 1800-1941 (Ancestry.com).Military
From: U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861-1865 (Ancestry.com). While guarding a grain barn in Wilmington N.C., he met a young lady by the name of Virginia C. Hines. They were married in about 1865. Henry forgetting that he was already married to Louisa Sullivan who was still living at their home in Indiana. When Henry did not return her letters or return from the War, Louisa presumed him to be dead and moved back to Kentucky and later married Eli Bratton. It was not until Henry's death in 1900, that Louisa learned that Henry had been alive and well all this time and had 4 more children. It was at this same time that Virginia learned the she was not Henry's only wife. There was quite a battle for Henry's War Pension (approx. $13 a month) to which was awarded to Louisa.Census (family)
