Henry Alsbury (b.ca.1814/6-fl.1870)
-
We know that there was some close connection between Henry and Elizabeth Hilyard nee Alsbury {the daughter of Charles Alsbury (b.1771-d.1858 Sangamon county, IL)}, as in 1850 she, aged 60, was living in the Henry Alsbury household in Sangamon county, IL. She had been much younger than her husband Thomas Hilyard whom she married in 1808 in Kanawha county, VA (now ?Cabell county, WV). They moved to Lawrence county, OH before 1823 when they sold 80 acres of land to Elizabeth's brother, John Alsbury.
-
The records for Sangamon county, IL, 1840 and 1850 Census, and for Nodaway county, MO, 1870 and 1880 Census taken together suggest a birth date of ca.1814-6 : the Nodaway 1870 Census says 1825 but this seems to be an error.
-
Henry appears to have married Ann Knight on Sangamon county, IL, in December 1833 - she was born ca.1814-20, NC.
-
Despite his youth it seems that In 1830-3 Henry was party to land purchases in Woodside, Curran and Chatham townships in Sangamon county, IL.
-
In 1840 Henry was involved in the administration of the estate of George Hilyard who died Sept 12th that year in Sangamon county, IL. George's wife, Elizabeth, and Henry Alsbury's wife, Ann were sisters.
-
An 'H' Alsbury was regularly on the "messenger" lists in the 1840's and 1850's and Sangamon Regular Baptist Associational meetings.
-
The family of Henry and Ann Alsbury deduced from the 1850 Sangamon census and the 1870 Nodaway census appears to be:
