Biography

Amey Clay was born about 1708, daughter of Henry Clay and Mary Mitchell^[1][2]

Her first husband was William Green, (later she married Benjamin Williamson^[3]). Their daughter Martha was born 8 May 1734 and christened 4 July 1734.^[4]

She was the administrator of her first husband William Green's will and in July of 1745, now married to Berryman Williamson, she returned the inventory of William Green's estate.^[5]

There seems to have been some conflict regarding the guardianship of their children and the disposal of William Green's estate, as Amey and her second spouse Berryman Williamson were ordered on January 2, 1748, to return an inventory of William Green's estate to Thomas Green, the guardian of the children.

Ten years later, on May 20, 1758, a suit was brought against Abraham Green, William Green and Henry Clay, executors of the estate of William Green, by Thomas Green, his wife Martha, Edward Moseley and his wife Amey, Thomas Green, William Green, and John Green, children and orphans of the deceased William Green.^[5]

She died in 1774 and was buried in Green Cemetery, Amelia County, Virginia.^[2]
