Henry ABNEY, son of Pvt. Paul ABNEY and Rhoda NORMAN, was born on 18 August 1808 in Jackson County, Tennessee.
Henry married first Jane Carson in 1827 in Gallatin County, Illinois.1
During the Black Hawk War, Henry ABNEY enlisted in Russell's Company D in 1832 in Gallatin County, Illinois. The Black Hawk War brief but bloody war from April to August 1832 between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk (Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak), a 65-year-old Sauk warrior who in early April led some 1,000 Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo men, women, and children, including about 500 warriors, across the Mississippi River to reclaim land in Illinois that tribal spokesmen had surrendered to the U.S. in 1804. The band’s crossing back into Illinois spurred fear and anger among white settlers, and eventually a force of some 7,000 mobilized against them—including members of the U.S. Army, state militias, and warriors from various other Indian peoples. Some 450–600 Indians and 70 soldiers and settlers were killed during the war.
Henry married second Mary Jane Howe on 1 July 1842 in Illinois.
Henry ABNEY died on 15 May 1856 in Saline County, Illinois, at age 47. He was buried in Abney Cemetery, Harco, Saline County.
