I have some information on Henry that I discovered in a Quarterly while digging around in
New Madrid County, Missouri. It states that June 18th, 1799, Henry Gousenberry, native of
Virginia, son of Nicholas Gousenberry and Susan Kirk married Elizabeth Norris, native of
Kentucky, daughter of Maxwell Norris and Elizabeth Nation. I traced his wife Elizabeth
and their family to Missouri after his death. I am most curious what happened to their
son Valentine. In a previous posting is was stated that Valentine had 4 children. I have
been unable to verify that he had a son named John, born about 1862, because Valentine
seems to disappear from Missouri after 1860. What happened to him? What happened to
John? I think he is my gr. gr. grandfather. Thanks for any info.
