<p>Thanks for all you did. Yes its a mystery. Might be he did died in the Oregon home. Dont know.<br>
Be nice to find some data thats hard core on him.<br>
Yes having more than one Henry even in Ny and Wiss and Minn has caused hours of study and some have E in the Spouse name and some are born close to 1830. <br>
Its hard to get out data when the name and spouse and b day are vague. ;)<br>
