The Old Moravian Cemetery
At Lancaster, Pa.
From The Lancaster New Era, 1917.
    "Tall sycamores and maples spread their aged boughs above the
graves of the ancient Moravian Cemetery on North Prince Street
near Chestnut. There, wrapped in their dreamless sleep, rest many
dignitaries of Old Lancaster. On the low monuments and pros-
trate slabs appear the names of such old-time worthies as the
Henrys, De Huffs, Graeffs, Weidels, Hobsons, Demuths, Carpen-
ters, Ebermans, and others. But soon this God's acre may be only
a memory.
    No more distinguished persons are buried there than the two
Henrys, father and son. Near the west end of the main walk of
the graveyard, running east and west, is the tomb of Col. William
Henry, of Revolutionary fame, who died in the year 1786. Close
to Prince Street, with the open Bible carved upon his monument,
is the grave of Judge John Joseph Henry, who died in the year
1811-illustrious sire. Theirs is a most interesting story-one of
which their home town may well feel proud. During long and
useful careers they reflected great credit upon the Lancaster of
more than a century ago." ......

    William Henry, of Lancaster, Pa., was born at the Henry home-
stead, in Chester County, Province of Pennsylvania, May 19, 1729,
and during the active period of his life was prominently identi-
fied with the leading men of the Colonial and Revolutionary years. 
    His grandparents, Robert and Mary Ann Henry, were of Scotch
ancestry, and came to America in 1722 with their three sons, John,
Robert and James, taking up a tract of land in West Caln Town-
ship, Chester County, Pa.
    Here both parents died the same year, 1735, and were buried at
Boyd's Presbyterian Meeting House. Of the sons, James married
