Life

Reginald Buchanan Henry, born 23 May 1881 in Long Island City, Queens, New York, US, died 18 Feb 1969 in Norfolk City, Virginia, the fifth of six sons of James Buchanan Henry, Sr. and his second wife Louisa Anderson. He served the United States Navy as a Captain in the Medical Corps.

He is best known for his book "Genealogies of the Families of the Presidents". In this book he created a numbering system assigning a number to the individual indicating that person's position in the family tree. Because his book is the earliest book published which used this system, it has come to be known as the Henry system
