They sold land and buildings in Barrington to George Foss, March 31, 1747. Henry removed to Greenland, [Strafford co.], NH as early as 1750, for he is called of that town in a deed given for land, buildings and other property in Portsmouth, September 13, 1756... [Further,] on April 25, 1746, he purchased from Nathaniel Lang one-half a pew in the South Church at that place [Portsmouth]...On October 22, 1765, he took deed from Samuel and Mary Cate, of Portsmouth, to land and buildings in Rumford (Concord), New Hampshire. This land is in the northeastern part of Concord, near the Loudon line..."[6].
