DuBois, Henry C. (Henry Cowell), 1880-

Henry C. DuBois (b. 1880), was the second son born to William L. DuBois and Mary (Cowell) DuBois. On his father's side, Henry was descended from Louis DuBois, a French Huguenot who immigrated to America in approximately 1660, and Robert Patterson (1743-1824), the Irish-born Revolutionary War hero and distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. Henry became the steward of a small cache of family history and papers, some of which date to the Revolutionary War.
