Although there seems to be general agreement that Mary Elizabeth Henley, wife of William Hamner of Albemarle Co., VA, was a daughter of Leonard Henley, Sr., of James City Co., VA, I have encountered enough difficulties with birth dates, etc., of this line to occasionally raise doubts. In the interest of providing one firm fact upon which to build, I call attention to the following document from the lawsuit brought by Abraham Johnston, spouse of Susannah Hamner, against the administrators and heirs of Jeremiah Hamner:
[7 Jun 1813]
I Jeremiah Hamner of Albermarl [sic] county and state of Virginia do hereby assign all my Rights title and interest in and to a certain legacy left me by my Grand Father Leonard Henley of James City County and state aforesaid in his last will and testament to Abraham Johnston [and crossed out] for his benefit to Sufor Collect and Receive and apply to his own youse [sic] for ever and the said Johnston is at all times to pay all cost that may Come due at any time in atemting [sic] to Collect said Legacy as witness my hand and seal this 7th day of June One thousand Eight hundred and thirteen.
