A bit of history that may be of interest. One of the first Henry's belonged to Lt. Frank L. Church, USMC. Just a brief mention in his diary: Civil War Marine: A diary of the Red River Expedition. The book is available for free download here: https://archive.org/details/texts?and%5 ... arine&sin=
Here's the page with the mention of the Henry (March 2, 1864):
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
