2. Henry REGER lived on Finks Run, Upshur Co. WV.
   WARNING: Henry REGER may be in wrong place! He was a first cousin to Phillip REGER's son John Jackson REGER. Since Henry doesn't seem to fit under any other brother of Phillip REGER, I put him here. Also Henry's first son was named Anthony which I assume he was named after his grandfather Anthony. Anyone who has further information on Henry, please contact Dan.
