CSA: Henry served during the Civil War as a Private in Company H of 9th Georgia Infantry. Note: there is a muster roll record of the death of this soldier in 1862 that conflicts with the life of William H. Dampier of Polk County, Florida. I am relying on the WPA GRAVE REGISTRATION PROJECT as a trusted source that the said William H. Dampier buried in Mount Pisgah Cemetery at Fort Meade, Florida, is the Private Dampier who served in Company H of 9th Georgia Infantry. Researched by PMLyons

1879 ACCIDENTAL DEATH: Following is newspaper article on Henry's Fatal Accident:
"Mr. G. I. P. Dzialynski, of Fort Meade, was in Town last Friday, and from him we learn that Mr. Henry Dampier, living 4 1/2 miles from Fort Meade, was killed last Monday two weeks ago by the falling of a tree. It seems that Mr. Dampier was in the woods felling a tree for board timber and just as the tree was about to fall, he noticed one of his small children in danger from the falling tree. He ran towards the child and told it to "run", and although the child was saved, the falling tree struck Mr. Dampier on the head, laying open his skull."
