Henry Stinehour

b. 5 August 1788, d. 16 April 1867
  • Henry Stinehour was born on 5 August 1788 at Highgate, Franklin Co., Vermont, among the first children born there.1,2,3
  • He married Margaret Corigan before 1809.
  • Henry Stinehour died on 16 April 1867 at Highgate, Franklin Co., Vermont; aged 80 years.4,5,2
  • He was buried at Cemetery on Rt. 78, Highgate Center, Vermont.
  • Henry was the sixth child of George Stinehour. He learned the tanner's trade at St. Albans, then went into business in Swanton (where he built a plant to tan leather in 1814), before returning to Highgate where he operated a tannery until 1833. He then gave up the tannery business and operated the hotel at Highgate for five years, then established the Stinehour Hotel at Highgate Center. He had one son and three daughters. "There are 3 hotels in the village, and, although I cannot of my own knowledge convict either of them of violating Vermont law, I have reason to suppose that neither of them is kept strictly upon total abstinence principles. The hotel in the north village is kept by the family of the late lamented Henry Stinehous. He was a model landlord. If all landlords had been like him, there would have been less cause for prohibition; he would never sell, even when he had a legal right, to the drunkard. Mrs. Stinehour, now about 80 years old, hale and hearty, is reputed one of the best cooks in northern Vermont. Mr. Stinehour commenced the settlement of the north village in 1837, and there are now in that portion of the village 46 dwelling-houses, 2 stores, 1 grocery store, 2 carriage shop, (L. F. Pedneau) a post-office (called Highgate Center) and the town-house. The two stores are kept by J. B. CROSS, who had been in the mercantile business many years at East Highgate, and, about 4 years since, established himself here, and A. P. Herrick, who had been engaged in trade many years at the south village; but something more than 1 year since removed his trade here. Both keep a general assortment of dry goods and groceries."1,6,7

  • He appeared on the census in 1840 at Highgate, Franklin Co., Vermont, with a family of 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 50-60, 2 females 15-20, 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 50-60.10

Levi Hungerford), the late Simeon Hungerford, Esq., killed a lynx with a fire-shovel. He was riding through the pine woods in Highgate one day, when an over-grown lynx bounded into the road and attacked his dog. The dog, although a heavy and powerful animal, was not a match for the lynx, and clung closely to the side of his master for protection. The lynx followed boldly and whenever Mr. Hungerford essayed to drive him back, would show his teeth and growl. On arriving at the log-cabin of Peter Stinehour, he sprang from his horse, rushed in and asked for a gun. Stinehour being out with his gun, the only available weapon to be had was a heavy iron fire-shovel. The lynx had come up and had fallen upon the poor dog whom he was fast overpowering. Mr. Hungerford grasped the fire-shovel and sprang to the rescue, when on opening the door, in rushed both dog and lynx in mortal encounter. The woman with her children screaming in terror, ran up the ladder to the attic for safety. Mr. Hungerford dealt the lynx a heavy blow with the shovel, but without apparent effect. He struck a second time with all his force across the small of the back, when the lynx relaxed his hold upon the dog and made for the door. Mr. Hungerford, by, repeated blows succeeded in dispatching him, and throwing the carcass across his horse, bore it home in triumph."10
  • PLEASE NOTE: Some of the children, particularly the daughters, assigned to Peter's family are not yet certain. Some may belong to the families of one of his brothers. Continued research is needed on the Stinehour families.
