One family story says that he left home when he was 11 years old and went to Alabama. Another states that after his father's death he moved with his mother to Claibourne County, Tennessee, and then moved to Madison County, Alabama in 1808. Either way, by 1809 Henry was living in Madison County, Mississippi Territory (present-day Alabama) near Huntsville. Henry's name does not appear on the 1809 Mississippi Territory census, so he may have been living with relatives or with his wife's family. During the War of 1812, Henry served in Capt. Crawford's Company of Colonel Burris' Regiment of Mounted Militia. In 1829, Henry moved his family to Calloway County, Kentucky. Henry appears in County Court records as a witness on his father-in-law's pension record in 1832. Henry and Martha moved there family to Clair County, Illinois in 1837 or 1838. By 1840 they had moved to Jackson County, Illinois, settling east of present-day Campbell Hill. In March of 1852, Henry applied for Bounty Land and received 40 acres; three years later, in April 1855, he applied for and received an additonal 120 acres. On April 28, 1871 Henry filed for a Military Pension for his service during the War of 1812, however, his claim was rejected because he had not served the required 90 days. After the death of his wife in 1861 Henry moved in with his son John A. Loy.

Knob Creek Church of Christ at Dukedom, Kentucky, was the first Restoration Church to use the name "Church of Christ". Some of the early settlers arriving in southern Graves County, Kentucky and northen Weakley County, Tennessee brought with them the teachings of Barton W. Stone and the "Christians Only" movement, and wanted to have a local church where they could worship. These settlers located John Parkhill from Calloway County, Kentucky and sent one of their members to summon him to help found the congregation. In June, 1834, Parkhill established the congregation, incorporating the "Christians Only" teachings of Stone and the "Reformed Baptist" teachings of Alexander Campbell, Stone and Campbell having merged their movements in 1832. The church was established in the home of member Simon Foy and his wife Charlotte Simms Foy, who had immigrated to the area in about 1828 from Limestone County, Alabama, and whose homestead was on Knob Creek, near the present Clinard farm. The first church building was erected in about 1845, south of the Foy homestead on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, about a mile west of where the present building stands. Although no longer located on Knob Creek, the congregation retained the original name. This was the first Restorationist congregation to use the name "Church of Christ", a name now in use by hundreds of Restorationist congregations worldwide. The founding members were Simon and Charlotte Foy, their daughters Charlotte and Elizabeth, their sons James and William, John Johnson and his wife Elizabeth, and Uell Olive.
