• Notes

  He was noted as of Little Compton in the marriage record. He is alleged to have lived at Guilford, CT in 1736 where his son John was born but was on the Beekman tax roll in FEB 1746 and remained through 1761 when 'farm' was listed until 1762. Henry Head was assessed in Beekman Precinct in FEB 1747/8 and JUN 1748 at 2 pounds, in FEB 1753 at 4 pounds, and in JUN 1758 and JUN 1760 at 2 pound. He was taxed in North East Precinct FEB 1762 to 'farm' in JUN 1765-66. Henry Head and his brother Lovet Head were sued for debt, one after the other by Merchant Filkin. His farm was probably in lot 15 of the Patent, near the present Amenia line. Lovet Head was on this farm after his brother left ant Thomas Casey was on the farm next. Casey paid rentals of 30 bushels, indicating a farm of about 300 acres but Lovet Head's account only notes rents of 10 bushels.
