Actually Henry published two editions of his book, the first in 1884 and the second in 1894. Both are amazing when you consider there were no telephones or autos at that time, not to mention computers. Exchange of info had to be acomplished my mail with some done by railway, others by horseback. Karel Whyte discovered that Henry had missed one of the earlier generations, excusble under the conditions he was working under. He was the first to identify the four branchs, he was in the third branch as were my Swearingens. I have the good fortune to have an original one passed down and a reprint of the other. It was also my pleasure to have exchanged letters with one of his unmrried grnddaughters before she passed away the last of Henrys family tree
