Other information:

     Henry and Nancy are listed as members of the Baptist Church, Harrods Creek, Jefferson County, Kentucky.3
     Acc. to Biographical History, vol. 2 (1899)
Henry married a Miss Hardin in Virginia, and to them were born the following children: Mozes, John (who m. Miss Yeager, had son James, daughter), William (m. Elizabeth Chenowitz), Eliza (m. Franklin Pinnell, 4 surviving children: George, Henry, Narcissus, John Elijah), George Hardin (Mexican War), Evans (never married).
This does not fit at all with the DAR application, except William and Eliza.2
     There are Virginia revolutionary war records for John, Henry, and Henry Jr. (Virginia Index at Ancestry), but Heritage Quest only has pension Records for John. Ancestry also has court records in Augusta County, Virginia around 1750 in which a Henry Netherton plays a role. Virginia Northern Neck land records as early as 1716, and a Maryland Will as early as 1703.
John is listed in "Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War," by J.T. McAllister (Hot Springs, VA : McAllister Pub., 1913) on page 284 (Part 4: Pensioners living in Virginia in 1835, who received pensions as Virginia Militia men)THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY, Vol 6 #1 (Jan 1932); p 14 ; Morris Library, University of Delaware, Newark DE. This is a Calendar of Early Jefferson County Wills-Will Books No. 1, 1784 to 1813, which unfortunately is not online. (Most of the quarterly is.)

He is listed in the following census:
