Hello there,  Thank you for sharing this interesting will of Jon [John?] WALKER who died between 6 Dec 1757 and 6 Feb 1758.  This will states that Jon WALKER also had a wife named Jane, who was alive at this time .  Are you suggesting this to be Jane HENDLEY?  The will of Jane's father, Robert HENDLEY, does not mention Jane, indicating that she had most likely passed on at the time it was written on 9 June1753. Will of Robert HENDLY, St Mary's County, Maryland, 9 June 1753 - 23 July 1753. Robert, Hendley 28.518 W SM June 9 1753 July 23 1753 To wife, use of my dwelling plantation. To son John Hendly, plantation that he now liveth on with the third part of all my land that is on the bay side. To son Jeremiah Hendly, dwelling plantation after the death of his mother with a third of my land on bay side. If Jeremiah Hendly dies without heir then to John Hendly and James Hendly. To son John, Negro Andrew, Negro Moll, after death of wife. To two sons, Jeremiah and James, Negro woman named Frank. To son James, Negro Boson, after death of wife. To three sons; John, Jeremiah and James a copper still. To dau. Elizabeth Garber, furniture. To two grand daus: Elizabeth Horn and Ann Horn, heifers. To dau. Rebecah Adams, plantation called "Hopsons Choyce." That my dau. Mary Coombs be paid 1000 pounds of tobacco by each of my sons: John, Jeremiah, James.

Wit: William Cavenough, Robert Greves, Barnaby Angell. 28. 518 The other documents germane to the Estate of Robert HENDLEY, do not mention Jane either, adding to the liklihood of her demise prior to their composition between  22 Feb 1753 - 9 Sep 1754.

Administratrix: Jane Hendley. 36.407 For this reason I don't think that Jane HENDLEY, daughter of Robert HENDLEY, could have been the wife of Jon WALKER, who was alive and handling the affairs of his estate in 1757 - 1758.  What do you think?  Do you agree or am I missing the point somehow? Sincerely, Elizabeth E. McIvor mciveli@comcast.net PS  I just noticed that Robert HENDLEY's Inventory (22 Feb 1753 - 4 Mar 1754) was before his Will (9 June 1753 - 23 Jul 1753).  Is that typical or is there confusion amongst dates and/or documents? ----- Original Message ----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com To: MDSTMARY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 10:42:12 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Jane HENDLEY, wife of Thomas WALKER (d bef 1 Dec 1750) and mother of Joseph WALKER (b ca 1741) This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Elizabeth, you stated, Jane HENDELY, daughter of Robert and sister of John HENDLEY, is the wife of Thomas and mother of Joseph WALKER. Although no record of a wedding has been found to date and EEM Note: The Inventory for the Estate of Thomas WALKER states that his next of kin are Robert & John HENDLEY, indicating that he probably married a close female relative of theirs, i.e. daughter, sister or mother. . The marriage was just an idea on your part, so in running thru the wills, I just thought it was interesting to see there is a JANE married to JON. WALKER. She survives him. Maybe this Jon Walker is related to Thomas Walker. Just because a dau or son is not mentioned in a will of a parent doesn't necessarily mean they are dead. There are many reasons for not mentioning all the children in their wills. If they were given a tract or inheritance when they married they usually weren't mentioned in the wills of the parents. Sometimes one parent doesn't mention the children, and the other parent will... Just wanted to pass this finding along, to give you more to consider...
