Debbie, Wouldn't Mary Louisa Hartless's Amherst Co., VA 1899 will prove that she is the mother of Henry C. Hartless? She left everything she owned to him, including any pension moneys (that she was collecting on her husband BENJAMIN HARTLESS'S military time) - and only $1 to Leanna (then Burch, Emily (then Smoot), and Andrew J. Also, weren't the parents of Henry C Hartless listed in the Amherst Co., VA marriage records as Lindsey & Mary (or Louise?) Hartless?
