Henry, young male "boy" (last name unknown). Henry, along with Cato (P48004), appear to be contracted out by John Hartwell Cocke (P43616), and were involved in early construction of the Academical Village. In a letter from A S Brockenbrough to Cocke, dated March 23, 1828, Brockenbrough discusses the construction of the Rotunda steps and cisterns and the involvement of Cato and Henry as laborers.
