I am a direct descendent of Rev. Henry through Amma (Amy) Mossburg Weldon, a daughter of
James Tollivar Mossburg. Some of my information is through family and some through several
books. According to my information, Henry was the son of William and mary, who immigrated
to the U.S in 1776, when Henry was 6 months old. Willaim fought and died in the
Revolutionary war. Henry himself fought in the war of 1812 and was a schoolteacher at some
point. I have some amusing anecdotes he wrote if any one is interested. Jane
Thrailkill(Threldkeld) was of english heritage, but may have been born in Paris France. My
family always referred to her as the 'french' woman. Her mothers name was
Elizabeth, her father George Thrailkill, reportedly died in 1736. His parents were William
and Ruth Threlkeld (note the spelling change. William was born in 1696 died in 1766.
Williams mother was Mary, his father was Christopher,from the area of Blencathra Mountain
near the river Gendera Mackin. Don't know if any of those spellings are correct and I
can't verify the latter info other than family history.
