Brief Biography:

Henry's exact birth and death dates are not known, and his parents are not known. Evidently he is descended from a Miller family that Gingerich and Kreider describe as among the "first wave" (18th century) of Amish/Mennonite pioneering immigrants from Germany or Switzerland. There is little doubt that his parents were born in, and emigrated from, Switzerland or Germany. He married Rachel Flory* before 1781 in Eastern PA, prior to moving to Somerset County, PA. Their first three children, Daniel (b. Apr. 26, 1782 - d. June 9, 1848), Henry, and Catherine were born in Eastern PA. Four more children were born in Somerset Co., PA: Abraham H. (b. Feb 17, 1789 - d. Apr. 13, 1880), Jonathan, William Henry*, and Samuel (b. June 26, 1799 - d. June 7, 1850)
