Events

Henry was imprisoned in England as a nonconformist minister, This was at the same time that over four hundred religious teachers were confined in damp an gloomy jails in England for preaching the gospel contrary to the rules of the Established Church. While incarcerated, he managed to communicate withe his family by writing to them with the blood he drew from his arm for that purpose. Whether he died in jail, as did many of those devout prisoners, or whether he was released to live for a few years as an incurable invalid, as did many others , is unknown. *Reference: "Ancestors and Descendants of Minnie Hale Gorton" by Carolyn C.
