About Henry Minugh
Henry Minugh - There is more about Henry and his two sons John and William in the Papers section of this Family group. Please feel free to scan around and see what it says. They are new to even me, and I've tried to highlight areas that pertain to us. I will be including these eventually into the family files, as well as filling in the rest on each of his children. While I have information on ancestors after him to present, this is where we are "stuck" at, and have been for quite some time...

An article contributed by E. Sinker:
Mysteries of Washington City, During Several Months of the Session of
the 28th Congress, printed by G.A. Sage, Washington, D.C.
By Caleb Atwater, A citizen of Ohio; published 1844
Tour To New York, page 51 & 52
I next visited Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins and their daughter, who boarded with
Mrs. Lentner, No. 15 Amity street, near Broadway. In this house, kept by
the present occupant, Colonel Trumbull spent the last twenty years of his
life. Here he lived and here he died, not long before my visit. It was in this
house that Colonel Trumbull executed his splendid paintings which now
adorn the rotundo in the capitol at Washington city. These paintings are
seen by a great number of persons every day in the year. The Declaration
of Independence, the Surrender of Cornwallis, &c. &c. will confer an
unfading fame on Colonel Trumbull. Mrs. Lentner will always be remem-
bered for her care of the painter, which so greatly contributed to preserve
his useful life, until he was more than eighty-seven years old. I saw in Mrs.
Lentner's parlor a likeness of Colonel Trumbull, painted by himself, in his
last years. It was said to be a very correct one. So said Mrs. Lentner.
After taking dinner and supper with Mrs. Lentner and her family, I returned in
the omnibus to my lodgings. If any persons could prolong human life and
render it happy, Mrs. Lentner, her sister, and the domestics around her,
could certainly effect that object. So it seemed to me during the six hours
that I spent at number 15, Amity street, New York. She is the Mrs. Ballard of
New York."
5. Mary Minugh was born 1770 in New York, New York, USA. She died in New York, New York, USA. She married Richard Black 29 Jul 1790 in Trinity Church, NY,NY.
