Additional Comments:
Henry G. Orrick was married to Grace Tidwell 18 Dec. 1828 in Upson County, GA.
Grace was the daughter of William Tidwell and Mary Amelia Jones. They moved to
Meriwether County shortly after their marriage and lived near Grace's parents in
the upper ninth district of Meriwether not far from Mt. Carmel Church.

Sometime after 1840, Henry sold his land in Meriwether and he and Grace moved to
Tallapoosa County, Alabama where they raised eight or nine children. At least
four of the children had moved to Pike County, Arkansas by 1880. Grace appeared
in Tallapoosa County censuses through 1860 and Henry through 1870.
