Henry was born in 1752 eigthteen miles from Winchester Virginia. Henry is referred to as one of first white men to settle in the Ohio Valley. He was also a noted indian fighter and served with his brothers John and Peter as privates in the Revolutionary War.

Military Record:

1776, 2 months, private with Lt. Samuel Swingler, VA

1778, 3 months as a spy for Capt. Whetzel

1781, stationed at Fort Mason and wounded by Indians
Was in General McIntosh and General Clark's Indian Expeditions

Henry enlisted in the Virginia Milita in 1776 from Monongalia County Virginia now West Virginia. He served 2 months under Lieutenant Samuel Swingler, stationed at a fort on Whitely Creek. He served from June 1777 four months under Captains John Minor and William Cross in Colonel Gibson's Virginia regiment and marched to Fort Pitt and down the Ohio river to the mouth of Wheeling Creek in pursuit of Indians. During this time Henery served with his brother John. From Frontier Defense On Upper Ohio the Muster Roll 3NN6 gives a list of 20 officers and men under Lieut. William Cross of Monongalia Pennsylvania Militia, under command of Major James Chew at Fort Pitt, Oct 1, 1777:

John Mills, lieut., Aug 15, on command at Wheeling; Samuel Blackford, sergt.; Henry Yoho, Aug. 15; Stephen Gasper, Aug. 15; Peter Goosey, Aug. 15; William Hall, Aug 16; Henry Franks, Aug. 16; Roger Barton, Aug. 19; John Yoho, Sept 1; james Flynn, Sept 1; Bastian Keener, Sept 2; James Purdie, Sept 4; Aron Flowers, Sept 4.

In 1778 he served 2 months under Lieutenant Swingler, 3 months in Captain John Whitzel's company of Rangers, Monongahala County under command of Col. Daniel McFarland. In the fall of 1778 Henry served six months in Captain Cross' company of Colonel John Ivars' regiment. He was in the McIntosh's expedition to Big Beaver on the Ohio river and assisted in building forts McIntosh and Laurens. Henry served from July 1779 under Lieutenant Jacob Cline in Colonel Laughlin's regiment in General Clark's expedition to the Falls of the Ohio.

Henry and his brother Peter joined the Pennsylvania Militia ca 1880. Both are listed as members of the First Battalion, Washington County in 1782 serving under Capt. John Guthery. In 1781 while stationed at Mason's Fort on Buffalo Creek he was wounded in the hip during a skirmish with the Indians. From The History of The Panhandle the following account of that skirmish is written:

Henry Baker went to where Washington, PA., now stands, then known as Catfish Camp. About this time the country about there was very much alarmed, and the people were on the look out for the Indians, who were reported to have crossed the river near Holliday's Cove, and were expected to make inroads upon the settlements. An express was sent to Wheeling Fort to give the alarm concerning it. The party consisted of Henry Baker, Henry Yoho, and a man by the name Starnater. They traveled in safety until they came to the Narrows, on Wheeling Creek where they were ambushed by a party of Indians. Starnater shot the Indian nearest him and in return he and his horse were immediately killed. Yoho was shot in the hip and his horse was shot and fell but arising almost immediately it dashed through the Indians, carrying him away in safety to Wheeling Fort. Baker's horse was shot but ran some hundred yards when it fell on him. Extricating himself as soon as possible, and throwing away his arms to lighten himself, he ran for about a quarter of a mile, when, seeing a large red skin approaching him directly in front with a pistol in one hand and a tomahawk in the other, he saw that escape was impossible and stopped. He said the Indian took him by the hair of the head and shook him till he almost thought he would shake his head off, telling him at the same time in good english.....YOU ARE A PRISONER! Baker was finally released through the efforts of Simon Girty who pleaded with the Indians to let Baker go.. Baker would become Henry's brother-in-law.

In a Yoho Newsletter, April 1995, Vol. 4, No.1, further exploits of Henry were published:

He made at least one spy trip with the famed Lewis Wetzel, a famous regional Indian fighter. They were in the army of General George Rogers Clark when he had such sucess in Illinois. Wetzel and Yoho were detailed at Point Pleasant to scout the Great Kanawha Valley and when they returned Clark had moved on so they missed Clark's Western Campaign. Henry Yoho tol his grandson, Samuel Goddard, that he was an associate of Lewis Wetzel, Simon Gurty, Adam Poe and other Indian fighters at their headquarters at Fort Wheeling.

In 1836 when in his 80's Henry applied for and received a pension #S7996. That document reads as follows:

WAR DEPARTMENTRevolutionary ClaimI certify that, in conformity with the law of the united States of the 7th June, 1832, Henry Yoho of State of Virginia who was a private in the Army of the Revolution is entitled to receive eighty dollars per annum, during his natural life, commencing on the 4th of March, 1831, and payable simiannually on the 4th of March and 4th of September, in every year.

Two fellow soldiers Peter Haught and Stephen Gapen appeared as witnesses for Henry. Haught testified that Henry was one of the bravest and mos daring men in the country.

Land Owner:

After his military service, Henry purchased several pieces of land. In 1804, Henry purchased 193 acres for $575 from Abijah and Pamela McLain on Fish Creek joining land owned by Peter Yoho. He also purchased 100 acres for $400 from Robert and Elizabeth Woods located at Long Reach on the Ohio River. In 1826 he purchased 200 acres on Proctor Run in Tyler County Virginia, now West Virginia. That deed reads as follows:

In 1846 Henry paid taxes on 200 hundred acres of land in Wetzel Co. Virginia. The taxes were a grand total of $0.42 cents and he appears to have paid tax on the land plus tax on a clock, a horse and a slave? The tax bill read as follows:
