I have been searching for information about John Henry (b. 20 Mar 1763) and his parents, Robert Henry and Mary Woodburn, in a parallel Derry County topic. My 'sprig' of Henry family lore has always held that Robert, Mary, and son John hailed from Derry County. And this was reinforced by John's 1787 marriage to Rachel Henry of Flower Hill, Newton Limavady, Derry County.
However, I have recently discovered that several other Henry family sprigs claim that Robert, Mary, and son John more properly hailed from Derry, Cavan - and that careless researchers may have simply 'collapsed' that to Derry County. I am told that there are three Derrys in County Cavan, plus Derry More and Derry Beg.
So what I hope to do on this thread is to contact a genealogy minded Henry in Cavan County - or other person whose research includes Cavan County Henrys - to see if we can unravel a bit more Henry ancestry. DrHenry
