He was a County Trustee from 1802-1808, named as guardian to at least ten minor children, State Senator in 1809. At his death he owned several tracts and a large number of slaves. The 1810 census shows him with 28 slaves and 7 looms. He was voted a member of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions for many years and served as Chairman. He was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention in Baltimore in 1840 and served as a trustee of Randolph Macon College. (Warren Co. records) Henry was also known as a "doctor," though self-taught and his practice included his family and neighbors. His family home, built by his father about 1770, is located on Oakville Road, about four miles from Route 158 on the right-hand side (about 8 mi. north of Warrenton); the family cemetery is adjacent to the homestead, which was standing in 2009. Mr. Fitts, in the course of his preaching, acquired the honored title of Reverend. With the help of Nathan Milam, John E. Twitty, John Boyd and other men of the community, built Hebron Methodist Church to replace the original log structure. Jacob Holt, a Virginia builder, designed the simple Greek Revival Church. Hebron United Methodist Church is the oldest Methodist Church in continuous use in North Carolina and is listed in the National Register of Historical Places. The church is located seven miles east of Wise and the Wise Five Fork Road in Oakville.
