Dear Carylon,

The E. Henry listed on pg. 338 is Eliza (Emerick) Henry. A characteristic of the burial entries is to list the parents names by their initials rather than there full names. Eliza is mentioned in a later section of the book as the mother of the children listed in the burial records.

 

The 1850 census couple who are the parents of Edwin, William and Mary Henry, are not in the 1860 census. Edwin would have been only 9 or 10 in that census. My guess is that the family moved out of the county. Neither the parents nor Edwin are in the County burial records. There is another William and Mary Henry buried in the County but they are 10+ years older that the couple in the 1850 census.

 

I checked my AIS index for William Henry in nearby counties and came up with these two. You need to get the 1860 census for these two counties to see if you can find one with a 9-10 year old named Edwin. In Illinois there are 60 William Henry’s. So this is a pretty common name.

I also checked the marriages to see if they might provide any other clues to where the family might be in 1860. I found this couple:

HENRY, WILLIAM H     AUSBORNE, MARY      03/30/1848 A&B/00000431 BROWN 

 

I checked for nearby Osborn families but did not find any. There is a family in the 1850 census in Elkhorm Twp. Who are potentially Mary’s parents:

709

714

Ausburn

James

50

   I hope this helps a little.

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. Huffman
Can you tell me if E. Henry on page 338..is Edwin Henry who was born abt
1849 (was 1 yr in 1850 census) and was dead by the 1860 census. If so
where is he buried.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this.
