Some time, but not very long prior to 1730, John Henry came directly from Scotland to Virginia. In April, 1733, his brother, Patrick Henry, an Episcopalian minister, also came over.

The two brothers were very much attached to each other and ever afterwards lived not far apart. They were cousins of David Henry, who went from Scotland to London at the age of fourteen, and became a journeyman printer in the same office with Benjamin Franklin. He married a sister of Edward Cave, the founder of the "Gentleman's Magazine," in London.

David was for more than fifty years associate editor of the Magazine, and in that publication describes his Henry kin as "more respected for their good sense and superior education than for their riches, as at every neighborhood meeting they were among the foremost."

John married Sarah Winston after 7 Oct 1732 in Studley, Hanover County, Virginia, USA. Sarah (daughter of Isaac Winston and Mary Ann Dabney) was born about 1710 in Studley, Hanover County, Virginia, USA; died on 22 Nov 1784 in Amherst County, Virginia, USA; was buried in Clifford, Amherst County, VA.
