The following article was published in the "New England Weekly Journal" on January 2, 17399 (assumed to refer to this John Henshaw):
We hear from Liecester, that on Thursday the 21st past, the dwelling house of Mr. John HENSHAW of that town, took fire by accident, and was burnt down, but most of the household goods were saved. 'Tis remarkable that this same person had the misfortune to loose a very good new dwelling house by fire last year.

About 1752 John removed to Philadelphia and then apparently lost contact with his relatives in New England (John Henshaw #4523 referred to this line as the "Lost Tribe").10
John Henshaw died 1757.3,4
