Henry (1718/1760-1821/25) b. probably Northern Ireland; r. Pine Twp, Allegheny Co., PA (parents unknown; Farmer)
-military: reportedly drafted 1777 with General Burgoyne aboard The Royal George for the British Royal Artillery; possibly deserted after the Battle of Bennington; joined the Colonial Army thus receiving rights to Depreciation Lands in Western PA
-burial: Guyton family cemetery (burying ground) atop Sugarloaf/Flagstaff Hill, North Park, McCandless Twp. No GPS available, but read the interesting notes under the memorial for Abraham Guyton at FindaGrave.com. They say “relatives” are also buried there, but as far as we know, the Moons were just neighbors.
