Hi, again - I think I found my Henry and Lucy. Henry was born 30 Oct 1793 in Arlington, Bennington, Vermont. He married Lucy Hardy 12 Jul 1821. Lucy was born 6 Jun 1793 in Massachusetts. Lucy died 19 Apr 1847 at her home on Chestnut Ridge, Lockport, New York. Henry then married Elizabeth Foote, who was born in New York on 7 Dec 1817.
They married 6 Oct 1847 in Lockport, Niagra County, New York. On the 1850 Census Henry is listed as a farmer.

As I mentioned before, Lucy was one of the first people to take a stance against slavery, switching Methodist churches to make her point. I assume her husband also was a part of that change in churches, which occurred in 1843.
