Rev. Henry married in 1777 and was licensed to preach in 1793. He lived on the West side of the Monongahela River on land patented by his father called "Speers Intent". He built a mansion here in 1806 that is still in existence as a restaurant in Speers, PA.
This family once had the "Speers Bible". According to Hank Adams, he has three different references to the pages from this Bible found in Marshalltown, IA.

The copies of the originals do not copy and the information found about this family from the Bible was handcopied by Hank Adams.
