In 1674 Henry married Elizabeth Wilde at Lydiard Tregoze (NW of Swindon). The Highworth Parish registers show that he was an Innholder and that they had the following family. Elizabeth died in 1691 while giving birth to William. Henry must have remarried because a second wife also named Elizabeth was mentioned in his will and died in 1741.
During Henry's life Highworth suffered from smallpox and influenza from 1670-79, epidemics also occurred in 1685, 1695 and 1699. In Henry's will his family is shown as:
It is interesting to see how his friends, the Colemans, remain linked with the family in the next two sections.
Henry appears to have played a full part in the life of Highworth - he was churchwarden in 1685 and 1721 when they had far more power than they do today. He was also Constable which was a most unpopular job. In 1693 he acquired the Malthouse and other property in Highworth.
From his will it can be seen that Henry died a wealthy man, probably better off than either of his two elder brothers as both families were left money. He should probably be added to our roll of honour as he undoubtedly raised the status of the family in Highworth.
According to the visitation and marriage allegations (licences) records of the Peculiars of the Dean and Chapter of Sarum, before becoming an Innholder Henry was a Cordwinder (I).

Henry's eldest son, Thomas, is shown in the Cirencester Church records as having two children:
Thomas (1688) - 1720
From the Probate documents in this section it is learnt that his wife was called Mary. In the Cirencester Church records a Mary Brind is shown as being married to Thomas Essington in 1720, therefore she probably remarried after Thomas's death.
Notes:
Indenture from March 25, 1693, between William Herring (Hearing) of Highworth, Cordwainer, John Greene of Stratton St Margarett, Cordwainer, son of Ambrose Greene, maltster, (deceased) Henry Brind, Inn holder of Highworth, and Thomas Hippsly of Staunton, Highworth.
