Notes

An ALT date and location of death is given by some: Nov. 1802 in Hardy - Pendleton County, Virginia, now West Virginia. As his home was in the area that became Weston, WV, I tend to accept this location for his death.

    Henry was NOT named Weston... He lived in this area and since there was more than one Fleisher in different parts of WV the original genealogist for this family surname, Ray Flesher, used this moniker to distinguish between the different families when working on the research for this family. It seems to have stuck.

    His wife was Elizabeth Bush who was the daughter of George Adam and Catherine Stump Bush and it can be verified.
