Henry Loy (born [unknown year, estimated mid to late 1750s] probably PA or VA–died late 1797 or by February 1798 St. Asaph’s District, Orange [now in Alamance] Co., NC; died intestate with widow mentioned as administratrix of his estate in February 1798 term of Orange Co., NC court)
md.
Margaret [Tillman?] (born between 1756-1763 [unknown birth place]—died between November 1808-1814 Anderson [now in Union] Co., TN or northern AL)
possibly a sister or half-sister to Catherine (Tillman) Loy [my own theory]
Henry was son of Martin Loy (to America 1741) and wife Catherine (Foust) Loy.
Note: Henry’s brother George’s daughter Margaret’s Wednesday, 28 September 1842 LDS baptism for the dead names her sister “Rachael Allbright” and grandparents Martin Loy and Catherine Loy. Then on Friday evening, 30 September 1842, Margaret gave baptism for deceased uncle John Loy, aunt Barbara Thomas, cousin Mary Sharp, and grandmother “Mary Elizth Tilman.” Prior to these, she had also given a baptism for her father George Loy. In 1842 Margaret’s son Benjamin would give proxy baptism for his deceased brother William Clapp, then on 6 August 1843 did another baptism for him, along with paternal Clapp and maternal Loy relatives. His maternal baptisms included grandmother Catherine Loy, great-uncle Henry Loy and great-aunt Margaret Loy.
Henry and Margaret would have only spoke German, as did their children who may have only learned English as they got older, if at all. Their son John only began learning English at age 16, according to family tradition.
