Henry was born on Jan. 1, 1830 to Jonas and Delila Sliger Finger in their Washington County home. His parents later moved to Blount County [Tennessee], and Henry Finger worked as a farmer like many of his forefathers. He enlisted on Aug. 31, 1862 in Barbourville, Ky. and mustered out on May 16, 1865 in Nashville.
He married Eleanor Caroline Reavley on Feb. 17, 1870. The couple had two children before Eleanor died in December 1878 when their daughter was only 5 months old. Henry Finger's sisters helped raise the children until he married Sarah Jane Rowland on Sept. 10, 1881. The couple had six children, and their youngest child - Lucy Finger - is Jenkins' grandmother. Henry Finger farmed in the Clover Hill area and died on June 3, 1915. - Cathy Jenkins
