| Message: | I believe this to be the birthdate for John Alexander Henry. He would have been a brother to my 2x great grandfather George Henry ... 25 SEP 1825 born in New Brunswick, Canada
I know he left NB, went to Mass., USA with wife and children - lost a daughter and then moved to Iowa. Looking for other family to help clarify his and other family history. |
