John Henty or Hentie was one of the early deputy surveyors of SC - 
early to mid 1700's. He apparently was close to the Chicken , Ball and 
Serre' families as he made their surveys and witnesed their wills and 
other transactions. But I have found little else on him. He apparently 
died intestate as I have found no will, and his creditor- one of the 
Elias Balls- sought and was appointed the executor. I have not found an 
inventory of what he had. He had owned land in Berkeley Co and 
surrounding.counties and was in Georgetown for a time.
I suspect either his sister or daughter Elizabeth married as his first 
wife William Chicken. If so John Henty would be an ancestor of mine.
I welcome any pieces of data on John Henty which any one may come 
across in their research. His name appears on many early surveys of a 
number of different people. Ed T of PGH
