Henrietta Affleck was born on April 6th, 1812 in Scotland.  She was the daughter of John Affleck and Janet Jamison.  John may have been born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland and Janet was Cunningsbugh, Shetland, Scotland so it might be possibly to track Henrietta's birth to one of these areas.  She was the second of six children and the family immigrated to Prince Edward Island in 1820.  

She Married Thomas Connelly on June 28th, 1832 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  The wedding record shows that both of them were living on St Peters Road, Charlottetown and shows that John and James Affleck were both witnesses.  James was her brother and John was either her father or brother.

The couple may have had a son, Thomas Connolly in Ireland on March 16th, 1836 but I have not been able to find any documentation of him.   Their second son, James C Connolly  was born on December 25th, 1837 in Mount Stewart, Prince Edward Island.  Their last child, Mary Margaret Connolly was born on August 10th, 1838 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  Henrietta died on January 4th, 1875 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
