Henry married Clarissa "Clarrisee" Gibson on 2 Jan 1859 in Lafayette County, Arkansas. Clarissa was born on 12 Mar 1841 in Marion County, Mississippi; died on 30 Jan 1932 in Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kay Parker McCary writes: "Born Marion Co, Miss. Moved to Arkansas 1854, Married H. P. Conn 2 Jan 1859, Moved to Sabine Co. Tex 1869, Daughter of Thomas Gibson & Anna Adams"

Did she marry second a DICKERSON? The death certificate of daughter Martha Conn Boyett lists her mother as Clarrisa Dickerson. She is also shown as Clarissa (Dickerson) CONN on the FindAGrave memorial for Martha Conn Boyett.

FindAGrave instead lists her date of death as 30 Jan 1902, but there is not a photo of the tombstone to verify this earlier date.

The transcription of this Arkansas Marriage record on Ancestry.com shows him as Henry P. COMEY.
