Samuel Hensley left a Will dated 1731 in King George Co, VA. It was proven 1735 in Orange Co, VA. This family seems to be well documented in Spotsylvania Co, VA records. I have much more work to do on this particular family, so what is currently listed below is incomplete. I have more notes thanks to Laura Schreibman, but it may take me awhile to interpret them all and get the data listed here. I can extend several of the families here by several generations, but I will have to do that later on.
The six children of Samuel Hensley are mentioned in the Will as is proof of the number of children and their names as of 28th February 1731/32, and that the last Will and testament was presented in Orange County Virginia Court on Tuesday 17th February 1735 by Samuel Hensley widow Elizabeth Hensley and proved in open Court. Elizabeth having made Oath according to law it is committed to record. :
In the name of God Amen. I Samuel Hensley of King George County and Hanover Township being sick and weak in body, but of sound and perfect memory thanks be given to Almighty God. I therefore and calling to mind the uncertainly of this life do make and ordain this to be my last Will and Testament revoking all former Wills ratifying and confirming this to be my true and sole Will in manner and form following viz -
Item - I give my Soul into the hands of my creator and my body to the Earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executrix here after named in sure and urbaine of joyful resurrection to eternal life through the merits of my Savior, Jesus Christ and for what world goods it has pleased God to bless me with I give as following viz -
Item - Whereas my son's by former wife are grown to years can be able of getting their own living and considering my estate to be barely sufficient for the raising of my younger children it is my desire therefor that my son's William, Joseph, and Edward Hensley be contented each to have one Shilling Sterling to be paid immediately after my decease if demanded together with my blessings and prayers to God for their future welfare.
Item - I give to my beloved wife Elizabeth my land and plantation in Spotsylvania to her during her life and after her decease to my son's James and George Hensley to them and their heirs forever to be equally divided between them.
Item - I give to my son George Hensley all my ready made wearing clothes.
Item - I give to my son Samuel Hensley one heifer or steer of three years old.
Item - All rest of my Estate both real and personal I give to my beloved wife a forsaid to be wholly at her disposal for the good and support of herself and children and it is my desire that Elizabeth my wife may be sole Executres of my Last Will and Testament.
Lastly I do revoke all former Wills and do ratify and confirm this to be my true and last Will and Testament as witness my hand and Seal this twenty eighth day of February 1731/32 signed sealed in presence of us.
