Person:Henry Anno (1)

The earliest reference for Henry Anno in Mason County, Kentucky is being the b ondsman for the marriage of Ezekiel Arrowsmith and Elizabeth Keton in 1797. H is marriage to Elizabeth on January 1, 1798 is also listed in Mason County. T he Anno family(s) moved to Kentucky prior to 1797. Ebenezer Zane requested p ermission and was authorized by Congress in 1796 to open a 'road' accross the Ohio country from Wheeling to a point on the Ohio river opposite Limestone, Ke ntucky. Thus, Zane's trace was blazed through the wilderness during the summe rs of 1796 and 1797. This provided a trail between Virginia and Pennsylvania with Kentucky. This may have been the route the Anno's used to reach Kentuck y. Henry Anno and family moved to Ross County, Ohio ca 1800. Bennett's 1902 H istory of Ross County, Ohio "states that the Anno family were members of the B ethel Methodist Episcopal church organized in 1804.
