As a young man Henry lived with his relatives in western New York and worked on the Erie Canal. After returning to Michigan, he took a boat down the Grand River to the Bear River and claimed some unoccupied land near the Bear River in northwest Allendale Township.

Henry's land was near the James Taylor farm. He married Ezubah Taylor, youngest daughter of James and Harriet (Brewer) Taylor. Their children reported that it was a happy marriage.

    Galena is in Northwest Illinois near the Wisconsin border.

    Henry Wilson appears in the 1850, 1860, 1880 and 1900 census data born in Wisconsin (still a territory in 1844). In the 1870 census he appears born in Illinois.

    It is possible that his birth or baptism was recorded in Galena as the nearest city at the time.
