According to Huxford's Pioneers of Wiregrass GA v 2, '...[Henry Sr 1760] having been granted bounty land [in Washington Co, GA] and removed to that county soon after the Revolutionary War.' In 1792 in Georgia, Henry [1760] is listed on the payroll of Capt John Hill's Co of Militia at Fort Martin in 1792. This indicates that Henry [1760] was GA resident prior to 1786 which was the end of the Revolutionary War.

Henry may not have remain in Washington Co, GA before appearing in Wilkerson Co., GA. A Henry Castleberry is listed in 1794 county tax list of Neal's Dist, Warren Co, GA, and this county was not created from Washington Co.
