Henry Sr. m. Virgie BRITTLE, 26 Mar 1900, in Jackson, Northampton Co., NC. 
   They appear in the 1900 Census in Sussex Co. (Sussex C.H. {ed 89}). 
   Henry, widowed, & Henry L. [Jr.] appear Sr's bro Samuel B. Kitchen in 
   the 1910 Census in Southampton Co. (Berlin & Ivor {ed 112}). 

Henry Sr's wife seems to be identical with the Virgie Kitchen (1881 - 1907) 
   buried in a KITCHEN family cemetery in the Vicksville area, damaged by 
   logging.  Presumably, this was where Henry Sr. was buried.
