JAMES
AND SAMUEL HENRY (COUSINS OF PATRICK HENRY)
The Henry brothers were Revolutionary War soldiers from Hanover County,
Virginia. They served in 1776, James
was a private and Samuel a quartermaster sergeant and later a militis Captain.
Samuel came to Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) in 1778.
He and James settled on land between Little River and the Little
Tennessee River. Samuel set aside
land for a Cumberland Presbyterian Church on his land years before he had legal
title. Baker's Creek Church was
organized in 1796. Samuel got his
land grant signed by Governor John Sevier in 1801.
Samuel built Henry's Fort in 1790. In
1792 he built Samuel Henry's Station on US Highway 441.
In 1795 Governor Blount appointed him to select a county seat for Blount
County. He named Maryville for the
Governor's wife, Mary. In 1796,
Samuel received a permit to build a mill out of brick.
Thus, the community of Brick Mill was developed.
When Samuel died there was some speculation that his cook had poisoned
him because he sold some of her kin.

Indian attack older men and young boys were kept at home to protect the
settlement.

served in the Revolution fighting Indians on the Western Frontier.
In 1787 Ezekiel Henry received 6 pounds, 6 shillings, 6 pence on claim
#714 for services performed against the Chickamauga Indians. This information
