Henry TREFETHEN1014
(around 1788 - after 1849)
Married to Jane YEATON
Parents: John TREFETHEN0846 (around 1754 - before 1808) & Mehitable AMAZEEN
Biography:
Sailor
Married Jane in October 1810 by Minister William Briggs probably in Kittery (Source 133 has intent on 10/25 and wed 10/12 which seems backwards to me)
Both he & Jane were MAYBE born in Maine [daughter’s Death Record]. According to a daughter’s death record, they were born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (more likely)[source 134: Massachusetts Death Records]
Resided in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1850
Leitha Trefren [Source 36] wrote:
"Henry TREFETHEN, born in 1788, husband of Jane Yeaton, was also in the War of 1812, but was in the Militia on Seavey’s Island and probably never left there during the war. Was in for 2 months in 1814. When widow Jane applied for a pension based on Henry’s service, she stated he was often called Harry as there was another Henry living in Portsmouth at the same time. Jane applied for bounty land in 1876, received 160 acres, Warrant #85321-40-50. Don’t know where the land was, but there must have been a giving or selling of it at some point. The warrant says 1807 but it's probably a typo and is 1857. Haven’t followed this up. "
