Henry Trescot was the son of Edward and Catharine (Bocquet) Trescot. He attended South Carolina College before studying at the Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1820. That same year he married Sarah McCrady who's brother Edward was a prominent Charleston lawyer.

It is believed he practiced law but this is not clear. He did serve in several local offices including Constable of Charleston, SC in 1830 and Magistrate in 1831. From 1857-1868 he was the Resgister of Mesne Conveyances of Charleston District.
