Henry, James, Zumbro, was the first male white child born in the town of
Kinsman, Trumbull county, Ohio, the event occurring July 23, 1803. The
marriage of his parents was the first event of that kind in the town.
Their names were Robert Henry and Betsey Tidd, the former a native of
Virginia, son of James Henry, from Ireland. Betsey Tidd escaped when a
little child from the Wyoming massacre, with her father, Martin. Mr. Henry
was married on Christmas day, 1828, the bride being Cynthia C. Knox, born
in Ridgefield, Connecticut. They became residents of Zumbro in 1857, their
sons having preceded them one year, and were six weeks on the road with a
team. Mr. and Mrs. Henry are members of the Wesleyan Methodist church at
South Troy. The former has always been a democrat. Their eldest son, James
A., is at Elkton, Dakota; Stephen M., is at Ashtabula, Ohio. Hannah E. is
the wife of Jacob M. Dale, elsewhere mentioned.
