They married in 1845 and had seven children, three of whom died very young. The second child was Mary, who married David Finlayson, and the sixth was Annie, who married Alexander Gordon. Fanny died at the age of 33. The next year, 1858, Henry married Margaret Rutherford. Of their six children, one was adopted and one died early. Margaret died in 1894. Henry’s third marriage was with Ann Willesee Rains in 1897. Only nine of Henry’s 13 children (including one adopted) survived to adulthood. Henry died in Dry Creek in 1899 at the age of 79 years.
