- Excursus: Who Was Jane Hendrick?
The identity of Hance Hendrick’s wife Jane is unknown. Her use as a headright tells us that she immigrated into Virginia, probably at the same time as her husband. But this is the sole record in which her name appears. Thus we cannot even conclude that she was alive at the time Hance Hendrick applied for his patents, for headrights need not have been living persons.29 The fact that we have no record of a dower release in the 1706 deed (see below) forces us to consider this possibility.
28 A Thomas Harvie married the “widow Hendrick” in Elizabeth City County in 1696 – she may have been the “Catharine Harvie” who died in Charles City (York) County in 1701. See Chronology.
29 A headright certificate, in theory at least, could only be issued for a person who survived the passage into Virginia. But once issued, the certificate could survive the persons named within it. [2]
