Henry Gassaway was named as a son of James Gassaway in Gassaway Family History. He was evidently a son of James' first wife Rachel.
Henry Gassaway purchased land in Pendleton District, SC, as early as 24 Dec 1794. In 1801 he received a grant of 952 acres of land and in 1802 he recieved another grant of 770 acres of land, both lying on Six Mile Creek in Pickens County, SC. He sold one-half of the first tract of land and 100 acres from the second tract of land to Thomas Gassaway in 1803. The family of Henry Gassway was enumerated on the 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses in Pendleton County, SC, and on the 1830 census for Pickens County, which was formed from Pendleton in 1825. Three of his children, Rachel, Henry and Minerva, were enumerated on the 1850 census of Pickens County.
Henry Gassaway died intestate. On 16 Jan 1858 the heirs petitioned the Court to sell the real estate of 213 acres of land on Long Creek. The heirs named in the petition were: John G., James G., Rachel G., William G., Sarah Sutton, Elizabeth Butts, Wesley G., Ira G., Phoebe Bandy, Sara Lowery, Minerva Phillips, Harriet Lee, Mahala Phillips, Mary Williams, Susan Rothild, and Sarah Corn. The names of their heirs have therefore been listed as children, although it is possible that some may have been grandchildren.
