== Biography ==
Amey Clay was born about 1708, daughter of [[Clay-84|Henry Clay]] and [[Mitchell-1548|Mary Mitchell]] [http://digital.ncdcr.gov/cdm/ref/collection/p15012coll1/id/62631 ''Major Henry Filmer of England and Virginia a partial list of descendants: genealogical report]'' Compiled by James M. Allen, Family Records Collection, page 17.}
Her first husband was William Green, (later she married [[Williamson-671|Benjamin Williamson]] [http://digital.ncdcr.gov/cdm/ref/collection/p15012coll1/id/62631 ''Major Henry Filmer of England and Virginia a partial list of descendants: genealogical report]'' Compiled by James M. Allen, Family Records Collection, page 353.. Their daughter Martha was born 8 May 1734 and christened 4 July 1734[https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRRQ-NXV Amey, mentioned in the record of Martha Green].
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 [http://digital.ncdcr.gov/cdm/ref/collection/p15012coll1/id/62631 ''Major Henry Filmer of England and Virginia a partial list of descendants: genealogical report]'' Compiled by James M. Allen, Family Records Collection, page 18.
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.
She died in 1774 and was buried in [https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2395930/green-cemetery Green Cemetery], Amelia County, Virginia.
