    Louisa and Henry were married in Knox Co. OH by Rev. Z. Bell on 16 Feb 1837, to Louisa Coffing. Louisa was born in Union County, PA, but was from Knox County, OH when married.

    Henry and Louisa went, with his brother Peter, to Richmond, IN (Wayne County) where Joshua was born. By 1840, they were back in Knox County, OH and farming in S. Bloomfield Twp., Morrow County, near Chesterville. In 1880, records show them living and farming near Centerburg (Hilliar Twp.). At that time, Tacy's daughter Olive DeBolt was with them.
