Over 20 years ago I was contacted with someone doing research on John McHenry born 1760 and he believed it was the twin of Thomas- both sons of John and Susannah McHenry. Our family history had John moving to Southport, NY and per pension records staying in that area. However, after a lot of research and one obituary found in 2017 on a trip to Elmira, the children's names of both these Johns overlapped. The other John lived in Adams County, Ohio.
