Excerpt from Memorial of Mrs. Adelaide L. Wright and History of the Henry and Hooker Families: 1718 1918 During the year 1718, before the great tide of emigra tion from the County of Ulster, Ireland, had set in, a party of three hundred Presbyterians sent a petition to the Hon. Sam uel Shute, Governor of New England, asking permission to make a settlement in New Hampshire. The original copy of that petition is still preserved. It shows that four of the sign ers were surnamed Henry. No. 121 on the list was Robert Henry. No. 144 was Robert Hendry. No. 247 was Robert Hendry and No. 229 was William Hendry. Many who then emigrated appear to have been brothers, or near of kin. It therefore is suggested that a search be made in the north of Ireland for records of those emigrants who were heads of the several Henry branches in America. Among such progenitors were Robert, Hugh, John, William and Mal colm Henry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
