Bio

Adam Henry was christened 3 Sept 1809 at St. John's Low Dutch Reformed Church, Upper Red Hook, Dutchess Co, NY. Adam lived in Montgomery Co, NY in 1846. He and Mariah must have sold their land sometime between 1850 and 1860, because they bought land in Pilot Twp, Vermilion Co, IL by 1860 and were listed on the 28 July 1860 census in Middlefork Twp. From 1864 - 1872, Adam bought and sold several pieces of property and appears to have made some money through the sales. On the 1880 census, Adam was listed as age 71 and he lived with his son Jacob M. Cook and family in Ross, IL. An attempt was made to order a death certificate but there was not one on file as death records were not required until after 1900. His death date is after 1880. Mariah's tombstone is still standing and there is a space beside her grave where Adam is probably buried. However, his tombstone is not there.
