Biography
Henry Farmer II was a Virginia colonist.
Disputed Origins
A previous version of this profile attached him as son of Thomas Farmer and his wife Ann. If he was related to Thomas at all, he might have been his grandson, but the timing works hard against him being his son. We have detached these parents.
Birth
Henry Farmer was born in 1657 in Henrico County, Virginia,[1] the purported son of Thomas Farmer (may have been grandson).
1657, Henrico, Virginia, United States.[2]
Marriage
Henry's 1st wife is unknown. (Family Search family trees suggest her name was Mary Clarke, but there is yet no source to verify this.)
Henry married 2nd Hester (Unknown) Bass, widow of William Bass, after William's death. The exact date of the marriage is unknown but William's will was proved 1 October 1695 in Henrico County, Virginia.[3]
Land Transaction
On November 8, 1689, John Clark of Henrico County and Henry Farmer entered into an indenture concerning land.[4]
Death
He passed away before 1734 in Henrico County, Virginia Colony.[5]
Research Notes
There was a Henry Farmer in Jamestown in 1624, a servant of a man named William PIerce.[6] There appears to be no further reference for him. Is he another candidate for this Henry's father or grandfather?

Sounds like Hester Bass is a second wife. " .....Children of Henry Farmer are: +...2.....i......John3 Farmer, born about 1688 in Proctors Ck, Chesterfield Co VA; died Bef. 1770 in Chesterfield Co VA. +...3.....ii......William Farmer, born about 1690 in Henrico Co VA; died Bef. 1750 in Chesterfield Co VA. +...4.....iii......Henry Farmer, born about 1690 in Henrico Co VA; died about 1753 in Chesterfield Co VA. .....5.....iv......Thomas Farmer, born about 1690."
All of these children were born before Hester Bass, so who was the mother to Henry's children?
