His son Joseph is the next entry.

He is not in the Slave Schedule. His sons James and William live at 1142/1173 and 1143/1174 respectively. Rebecca and Susan Grinstead, probably his sisters, live at 1145/1176.

In 1860 Sally Grenstead (80, Va) is living in Barren Co., Kentucky in the household of her daughter Elizabeth and her husband David Gallaway.

That Henry is a son of Jesse is suggested by 1) the fact that in 1810 they are contiguous in the census and 2) that they both moved from Barren Co. to Hart Co. (Jesse first).

The age in parenthesis or brackets is the age in an earlier census based on the age in a later census. Brackets indicate that a child is no longer living in the household of the parents.

The 1810--1840 censuses suggest that Henry and Sarah had two daughters whose names are unknown. There are no marriage records in Hart Co. prior to 1851. In "Hart County, Kentucky Marriage Records 1851-1907" the author states that the Hart Co. courthouse was destroyed by fire January 23, 1828 with practically all its contents.

WAINWRIGHT/WAGON MAKER:

See notes under Henry's first cousin, James Grinstead, son of James.
