HISTORY OF KENTUCKY, by Lewis Collins, and J.A. & U.P. James, published 1847. Reprinted by Henry Clay Press, Lexington, Ky., 1968, p. 127. [Unknown county]. BARNABAS McHENRY embraced religion and attached himself to the Methodist Episcopal church in the infancy of Methodism in the United States. Believing it to be his duty to preach the gospel, he joined the traveling connection in 1787. In 1788, he was sent to Cumberland circuit, and continued to labor in the various circuits of Kentcuky, faithfully and successfully, until 1796, when, in consequence of the lost of health, he located. In 1819, he was re-admitted into the traveling connection; but his strength not being sufficient for the labors of an effective man, he was, in 1821, returned superannuated. This relation he sustained until death by cholera, June 16th, 1833, relieved him of all his infirmities. As an old apostle of Methodism, he was fond of the doctrines of the church, and took delight in teaching them to others. He lived in the enjoyment of the blessing of sanctification, and died in peace, going up from earth to take a position of nearer concernment in the lofty worship of heaven.
