She was born14 Nov. 1836 at "Society Hill", Stevensville, Va., died 15 Jan. 1923, and was buried at Clifton Forge, Va. 1 Priscilla Elizabeth Bagby, ninth child, was born 14 November, 1836 at 'Society Hill', died 15 January, 1923, at Clifton Forge, Virginia, at the home of her daughter, and was buried in Clifton Forge. After the death of her husband in 1873, she cared for and brought up her four girls to maturity, and useful lives. She received something like 300 acres from her father's estate, whith about 15 slaves, who remained with her faithfully during th trying times of the Civil War. One of the woman slaves married a man from Norfolk, and lived there after the War; when Dr. Henley died, this woman (very aged) journeyed to her old mistress to mourn with her the loss of a dear master. Another, Sam Bagby, remained near his old mistress, in a sort of reverential guardianship and readiness to be of aid to her should she require it. Sam did not follow the run of negroes into being a Republican in politics, and the death of his wife and burning of his house (possible murder and arson) may not have been wholly disconnected from his leanings to the Democratic party, the death and burning occurring on an election day while Sam was absent at the polls. He, and his family, were made members of the white Bruington Baptist Church, and given permanent pews therein. Mrs. Henley removed from King and Queen County to Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1886, and lived there for about 10 years. After the marriage of her youngest child, she made her home with her, in Clifton Forge, Virginia, except for several years after the daughter's death during the Flu epedemic 1919, when she lived with her daughter, Mrs. Barkely, in Washington. After the marriage of her oldest daughter to the widower, Sidney Fitch, she returned to her beloved Clifton Forge, where she loved her church, and her friends of many years. m 20 September, 1855, at Smyrna Christian Church, King and Queen Copunty, Dr. Thomas Meekins Henley (q.v.)
