Heinrich2 Arner (Ulrich1), born 20 August 1742(2) probably in Whitehall, Bucks (now North Whitehall, Lehigh), Pennsylvania and christened 19 September 1742 (Sponsors: Heinrich Hauser and wife)(2);  died 1828-29 in Springfield, Columbiana (now Mahoning), Ohio(A);  married probably 1764 to CATHERINE DAUBENSPECK who was born about 1746 in Whitehall(A).

He was a potter. On 15 March 1764, still unmarried, he was a baptismal sponsor in Whitehall for Heinrich Schlosser, son of Johann Peter and Catharina Schlosser(4). He was a taxpayer in Penn, Northampton (now West Penn, Schuylkill), Pennsylvania by 1772 (PA:3:19:077)(C), and until 1779. He was on the Muster Roll of the 2nd (Captain William Mayer’s) Company, 3rd Battalion of Northampton County Militia in 1777(E) and 1778 (PA:5:8:230)(C). His pension papers mention service in the vicinity of Philadelphia in 1778 and in the Wyoming Valley (in northeastern Luzerne County, vicinity of present-day Wilkes-Barre) after the Wyoming Massacre (which occurred in July 1778).

He was a taxpayer in Augusta, Northumberland (now Montour), Pennsylvania in 1780(D) and in 1781 and 1782 (PA:3:19:441, 497)(C); in Turbut, Northumberland (now Montour), Pennsylvania in 1783 and in 1784 (PA:3:19:573)(C); and in Muncy, Northumberland (now Lycoming), Pennsylvania in 1785, 1786 and 1787 (PA:3:19:625, 707, 782)(C). [NOTE: Turbut Township was formed out of Augusta in 1784, so it’s likely that he didn’t actually move in 1783.]

They moved to Hempfield, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania about 1795. While living there, they were baptismal sponsors in 1799 for children of Johannes and Barbara Baer, and of Leonhart and Susanna Beck, in addition to later sponsoring three of their own grandchildren(13). He was sponsor for Johannes Reichart (son of Henrich and Elissabetha) on 25 May 1809 in Hempfield. They moved to Springfield, Columbiana (now Mahoning), Ohio about 1812.

1790 Census: Henry Orner, page 041, locality not recorded, Northumberland, Pennsylvania.

1800 Census: Henry Arner Sr, page 984, Hempfield, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania.

1820 Census: probably the extra male aged over 45 years with son “John Orner”, page 020, Springfield, Columbiana, Ohio.

Henry was buried at either Lutheran Cemetery at Petersburg, Mahoning, Ohio (page 056, Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Volume 1, National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution, published by Pioneer Heritage Press, Dallas, Texas, 1987), or at the Old Springfield Cemetery (page 019, The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the American Revolution buried in the State of Ohio, Volume 1, Ohio Adjutant General’s Department, published by F. J. Heer Printing Company, Columbus, Ohio, 1929), but in either case his gravestone no longer exists.
