William Henry settled in the Huntsville Alabama area. He died in 1844.  He was married to Jelico. After her husband’s death William Henry’s brother Isaac suggested she sell her holdings and move to his home.  He had space for her and her children.  Isaac remarried and shortly after than, Jelico was evicted.   Based on the 1850 census (District 35, Madison, Alabama, Ancestry), the children of Jelico and William Henry are:   Louisa, Mary J, Edwin P, Eliza E.H., Andrew J., Granvill H., and John William.
