In 1792 William Henry made an agreement with his son Aaron, Aaron was to furnish his father a small house and provisions as long as his father lived and in return Aaron was to receive "the plantation" and furnishings. This agreement was made in Hampshire County, Virginia (now West Virginia). In 1793 William Henry bought land from James Fleming and wife Ann, this deed states "the land where he now lives", so we do not know how long William Henry had been living in Virginia. In 1797 Aaron and wife Ann sold this land to Daniel Whoop.
