Notes:
                   From "History of William..." (see sources): "Michael and Jean Henry, who started the line in America, went from Scotland to Newry, a seapoert town in Counties Down and Armagh, Ireland.  From here they emigrated to Perth Amboy, New Jersey about 1716; lived there at Readington and Bedminister and died at Three Bridges, all towns of New Jersey.  Michael was a man of influence, a chosen free holder in 1734, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church.  He was the father of nine children and left valuable books, real estate and 712.80 pounds sterling to his heirs."

Immigration: probably about 1716 (or earlier), as "on 19 Oct 1716 Michael purchased of John Harrison a lot in the town of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, for 20 pounds.  This lot was sold by Michael and Jean on 29 Dec 1729.  It is probable that Michael lived upon this lot until his removal to Hunterdon County.  While at Perth Amboy in 1718 he was appointed as assistant alderman of that city.  Michael may have gone to Hunterdon County from Perth Amboy in 1732, or earlier.  On 24 Dec 1733 he purchased a farm of 137 acres in then Amwell, later Readington Twp. Hunterdon County, New Jersey, which became the Henry homestead, and is where Michael lived until his death.  It was near Three Bridges, on the northerly side of the south branch of the Raritan River." ---"Ancestry and Descendants of William Henrie, 1799-1883" by Manetta (Prince) Henrie
