I am wondering if your Henry is my relative Henry. Henry Abner Eisenhower fathered numerous children and had several wives. I know he was born around 1787 (some sources seem to say 1784--I am not yet sure if this is the same Henry). He was married to Peggy (Margaret) Young (Jung) and had Harriet, and may have had Abner by Peggy or by someone else. He later married Mary A (I do not know her birth surname yet). He fathered Theodore (about 1837), Hiram (about 1839), Mary M (about 1841), and Abraham (about 1843). I believe he was also married to someone with a name like Nancy Gibeng and had a son Daniel in 1813, but I am not sure whether is same Henry. If this is same Henry, there may be a son Emmanuel who also went by Eli involved. Henry's daughter Mary M, herself, married at least 3 times.

Henry also changed the spelling of his last name numerous times, and so did his daughter Mary M.

All of the above makes this search a brain-eater. I am pleased to share and be the recipient of any info you have found.

Yours,
