HENRY FARMER
I AND HIS DESCENDANTS
2 Henry Farmer I, b about 1657 (Henrico Co records Book
5 pa. 317) d. before 1734. He was the father of 3 Henry Farmer
II. This relationship was determined by the deed records of Henrico
Co., when 2 Henry Farmer I deeded real estate on Proctor's Creek
to his sons 3 Henry II; 3 John; 3 William and 3 Thomas for "natural
love and affection." (Henrico Co records 1706 - 1709 pa.
187 for Henry II and John Henrico Co records 1710 - 1715 for WIlliam
and Thomas).
The first wife of 2Henry FarmerI is unknown. His second
wife was Hester Bass, whom he married in 1696, the widow of his
neighbor, William Bass. (Henrico Orphans court 1677 - 1739 p.
39) 2 Henry Farmer I deeded property to his sons in 1707 - 1709
and 1714. It is presumed they were of age (21) when he did this,
in which case it would have been impossible for the second wife
to be the mother of his sons.
