Henry Huddleston Jr.

  General Notes:

HENRY, Jr. was bom the same year his father died. March 14,1733 Henry Jr's land was surveyed-he had 200 acres. He married Aug. 15,1733 at Christ's Church in Philadelphia, Pa. to MARY WILKINSON. (Their son Nathan was also married in Christ's Church, Philadelphia).
Henry and his son Nathan remained in Plumstead Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. where they were on the tax list in 1779 (Henry, with 300 acres, 2 horses, 4 cattle, paid $25-00 in taxes). Later Nathan moved to Hampshire Co Va(WV), where he was in 1810.
Three of Henry's 4 sons (Daniel, William & Abraham) 6 one daughter (Hulda Montgomery) moved to Bedford Co., Va. in 1770. Abraham's family appears to have stayed in Bedford Co, Va. while William & Daniel moved onto Kanawha Co (WV) about 1785. Then William's sons all moved west to Term.
Henry died in 1780. He must have been a pretty wealthy man as he left quite a bit of money to his family. In 1781 Mary was still living in Plumstead Twp. (with no land, 1 horse, 2 cattle, & no servants). Henry willed money and land to all his children. He left Mary all the household goods, 2 milk cows, 100 pounds in gold and silver, and also stipulated that she received 1/3 of of the "grain, hay, apples & fruit" raised on his lands-as long as she remained his widow, "and no longer"!

Henry married Mary Wilkinson, daughter of William Wilkinson and Unknown, on 15 Aug 1733 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. (Mary Wilkinson was born about 1712 and died after 1780 in Pennsylvania.)
