WOW, I had prayed that today I would see a bit of history that I will NEVER forget, the Lord always answers prayer! I had one more complete day in Florida, and I wanted to see some history from the 1820's so I drove to one of the oldest towns in the panhandle of Florida, I drove to "Quincy" saw the 1823 County Court House and then decided to go see a cemetery, I had several choices but decided with the time to go and see the "Western Cemetery". It has beautiful Christian messages on many tombstones, and I saw almost all of them and was getting ready to leave, when I saw one more small section which I could tell was significant. I came up on Dr. Thomas Yuille Henry (1821-1869): Born in Virginia, he was the grandson of Revolutionary War patriot Patrick Henry. Dr. Henry served as the Grand Master Mason and was a delegate to the 1861 constitutional convention. The tombstone also states that Thomas Henry fought with Andrew Jackson in a battle in 1813.
