William Henthorn
Born: Abt. 1783 in Pennsylvania
Married: Abt. 1803, Frances "Fanny" Myers
Died: 11 May 1850 in Monroe Co., OH
Children: 9
LAND:
Ohio County Court House, Wheeling, West Virginia, Abstract of Deed Book 7 - Page 473: July 2, 1813. William Henthorn and Fanny his wife, son of James Henthorn sold to Robert Gray for two hundred and ten dollars a tract of land containing seventy three and one half acres and twenty perches which was the property of the heirs of Susannah Henthorn deceased, which they the said heirs bind themselves to relinquish, said heirs being Stephen Burkam, and Sarah his wife, William Shepherd and Mary his wife, James Henthorn and Elizabeth his wife, Mathew Howell and Rebecca his wife.
Witness: John Feay, John Myers, Thomas White
Signed: William Henthorn, Fanny X Henthorn (mark), James Henthorn, Elizabeth X Henthorn (mark), Mathew Howel, Rebecca X Howel (mark), Stephen Burkam, Sarah Burkam.
PROBLEM: The William, son of James, who was married to Fanny (Myers) is this one. William's grandfather Adam, was married to a Susannah and they had the descendants listed in relation to this transaction. This item is also entered with a William Henthorn, son of James 1st of this study, who married a Jane. It seems unlikely that the item belongs to this William.
