| Researcher's Note* | Henry went to Missouri and then Texas, where one of his sons was treasurer of Haraman County. Henry Clay Newberry had prior and subsequent wives to Permelia Ann Reynolds. He evidently failed to mention this to Permelia when they married; shortly after they were married a young man about Permelia's age appeared at the door asking for Mr. Newberry. When Permelia asked his business he responded that he was Mr. Newberry's oldest son. This supposedly was the first she had heard about any prior marriages. They later divorced. Both remarried; Permelia at least twice. Henry Clay is supposed to be buried at Ft. Washita, most of which is under Lake Texoma nowadays. There is some kind of monument or marker declaring the site of Ft. Washita but no information yet on who may be buried there. HC's marriage certificate states he married Permelia on 15 jan 1847 and that HC was "of Withe (Wythe?) County. One story has it that Henry Clay Newberry was "Brought from Ireland with two of his brothers. One went to Tenn, other to Kansas". This, in spite of censuses such as the 1850 Botetourte County VA census stating Henry's birthplace as "VA". Perhaps the Irishmen were Henry's father and uncles. HC and Parmelia left VA for MO when daughter was one year old, or some time in late 1855. About 1858 the family moved to Montague County TX and "became one of the State's early Pioneers".
