Hendry Surname, different
The name was spelled variously depending on how the recorder heard the name. Among the spellings were: Henry, Hendrey, Handrey and Hendry. But surname variations also occurred by choice: "Hendry" in New York became "Henry" in Ohio following the move of certain individual families, for example. Source: Find A Grave.

Thomas Hendry Sr (1720-1780) Media: [1] Thomas Hendry b. 1720 Ireland (explains the Hendry and Harper Family connection through the marriage of David and Selina Hendry's daughter Polly to Robert Harper).
http://www.newmediamarkets.com/jamesharper/descendants/D0006/I1517.html This Web Site contains Descendants of Thomas Hendry Sr, immigrant ancestor from Northern Ireland, Family History, and the titles of many historical books and family notes.

    Note from the author: so far unable to find records in Northern Ireland that establish the exact place and date of birth of Thomas Hendry. The Hendrys were close associates of the Harpers in America. The Harpers were from Newtownlimivaddy in County Derry in the north of Ireland immediately before coming to America in 1720. If the Hendrys and Harpers knew each other in Ireland, it is possible the Hendrys too came from that area.

  Of Interest:   It should be noted that the Hendry family were Presbyterians and signers of the Confessions of Faith of the Church of Scotland .

  Thomas Hendry Sr, born about 1721 in northern Ireland. He is said to have arrived in Boston about 1740. For a time, Thomas was a trader. He settled in North Bridgewater (now Brockton),his marriage intention filed there in 1743 states he was “of Boston”. Rev. John Porter, the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Bridgewater, married Thomas Hendry and Ann Miller on March 23, 1743. Records of this marriage and the births of several of the children of Thomas and Ann (Miller) Hendry may be found in this church .

Property ( Plymouth County Records )

11/7/1746, Thomas Hendry purchased a farm from John Ames.

1/3/1769, he sold this farm to his son Thomas Hendry Jr. for 500 pounds.

Witnesses: Samuel Dunlop and John Harper Jr. -probably the same John Harper who was the principal founder of Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY; the deed was not formally recorded at Plymouth County April 30, 1771. In 1772, Thomas Hendry Jr. sold the farm to Daniel Ames. His mother Ann Hendry signs as witness to the transfer.

Land Grant

11/1/1769, Thomas Hendry with John Harper and twenty others were granted 2200 acres near the headwaters of the Delaware River in the state of New York. The deed was signed by Cadwallader Colden, Lt Governor of NY, Andrew Elliot and Alexander Colden. Thomas moved all his family except Jennet to what is today Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY.

Died: Harpersfield, Delaware, NY. Cause of death, consumption (spring of 1780)

Revolutionary War

The Story of the Sugar Bush Massacre

On April 2, 1780, a “scout” of fourteen men, commanded by Alexander Harper, walked to Harpersfield to check the area for hostile activity; after checking the area, they scattered to collect maple sap for making sugar.

4/8/1780, Joseph Brant with seven Tories and forty-three Indians split their force and fell on each of the scattered sugar gathering groups at the same time. Thomas and James Hendry were killed and scalped at once,  John Hendry was taken prisoner and died on a prison ship moored in the river by Old Quebec City, Canada.

Verification: John Hendry, Lieutenant,  taken prisoner; prisoner in Canada. Note: there were four of the surname Brown, including, David Brown -the google search was for David Brown Hendry -it appears that David Brown Hendry was named “in honor of” David Brown -most likely related through the marriage of his parents -I’m guessing Maria Antoinette Stevens.

List of Prisoners Taken in Tryon County

Pg 660: Taken by the enemy, April 7, 1780, all of Harpersfield

Cap’n Alex’r Harper, John Hendry, Lieut., Isaac Patchin, William Lamb, Wm Lamb Jun’r, David Brown, John Brown, Solo’n Brown, Doctor Brown, Esaray Thorp. Henry Agar, taken from the Brakaben Schohare District. That the above named Persons are now Prisoners in Canada and taken from their own houses and not in arms and have left distressed families.

    Your memorialists humbly pray your Excellency to use your influence that said persons may be exchanged and returned to their families. And your memorialists as in Duty Bound shall ever pray. -Zeph Bathcheller. Feb. 27, 1781.

(Jody Gray) This information came as a result of a Google Search: David Brown Hendry Harpersfield. Notice, David Brown was one of the prisoners taken, as was, John Brown, Solo’n Brown and Doctor Brown. Add these names to the names we know of Harpersfield and Alexander Harper's Militia: Col. John Harper (founder of Harperfield), Hendry (3)... all surnames found among the Ulster-Scots. I’m certain that David Brown Hendry was named “in honor of” a Brown but I haven’t found the connection; could have been this David Brown. I’ve been searching for the connection… I just keep finding more Ulster-Scots surnames...
