About Henry Heth (Heath)

Henry immigrated to America sometime settling outside of Pittsburg in Alleghenny County, PA. He married Agnes McMachen about 1749. [2]

  • Page 386, Henry Heth and Agnes, his wife, have a suit against Gabriel Jones and Lewis Neill, executors of William McMachan, deceased, 21 August, 1750. Henry Heth and Agnes McMachan were evidently married sometime between 24th February, 1748/9, when William McMachan's will was made, and the 21st of August, 1750, when this suit was instituted.

  1. Source:Virginia Families cites his will written March 30 1793, Probated June 2, 1793
  2. Henry owned land adjacent to William McMachen. McMachen's will of 17xx identifies a daughter Agnes. Shortly thereafter Henry Heth and wife Agnes file suit over Williams estate. This suggests that Henry married Agnes McMachhen just after her father wrote his will.
