	Henry was born18 May 1842 in Timmonsville, Florence County, SC. He enlisted 13 April 1861 at Timmonsville in Co E 8th SC Infantry aka "Timmonsville Minute Men". His first battle was 1st Manassas. In Oct. 1862 he is assigned extra duty with the Pioneer Corps. Note to researchers', after 40 years of Confederate research this is my first encounter with this Corps. Each division of the army had one company-sized group of men of about 28 and one junior officer These men provided pre and post battle construction duties, buried the dead, removal of fences and obstructions on the battlefield. The entire Army of Northern Virginia had about 250 men and 9 officers. At Gettysburg Henry is listed on duty with McLaws Division. 23 May 1863 he is a patient at Chimborazo Hosp #5 at Richmond suffering from Acute Rheumatism. On 5 March 1864 he is assigned as a baggage train guard and ends his service as such. He became a very successful businessman in Ocala Florida dealing in Turpentine and so much, so folks began referring to him as Colonel. His Obit listed him as Col. He died 18 March 1896 in Ocala, Fla. and his body was returned to his place of birth and rests beside his wife in the Byrd Cem. Timmonsville, Darlington Co. SC. He is the father-in-law of my cousin.
