MRS. ELIZA HENRY was born June 20, 1825, in Spencer County, Ky., daughter
of Andrew and Polly (Johnson) Allen.  Andrew was a native of Spencer
County, Ky., was born in 1796, and died in 1867.  The Allens probably came
from Virginia, and the Johnsons were from Ireland.  Mrs. Henry is the fifth
of a family of eight children.  She has lived on a farm all her life, and
is the owner of more than 300 acres of land.  In 1843 she was united in
marriage with John Henry, of Spencer County, Ky., who was a son of John
Henry, Sr., and Amy (Reed) Henry.  Mr. Henry's ancestors moved from
Virginia to Tennessee, and from Tennessee to Kentucky.  John H., Jr.,
subject's husband, was born and reared on a farm, and was always noted for
his industry.  He was born in 1815, was a life-long member of the Baptist
Church, and died in 1874.  Mr. and Mrs. Henry had nine children:  an infant
unnamed; John A., Anna M. (deceased), Martha A. (deceased), William P.,
Minor J., Ezekiel M., James T. (deceased) and Allen B. (deceased).  Mrs.
Henry, like her husband, has been a consistent Christian, and now awaits
the Master's call to join the union above.
