William Waller Hening was born in Stafford County, Virginia, United States, probably in 1768. He was the son of David Hening and Mary (Waller) Hening.
At an early age Hening began the practice of law at the Fredericksburg bar, his patience, learning, and vigor of mind soon raising him to a position of local prominence. About 1791-1792 he removed to Albemarle County, where he built up a successful practice, dealt less happily in real estate, and acquired a distillery with which his name was long associated.
In 1804 and 1805 he represented Albemarle in the legislature, and while in this capacity was elected to the Privy Council. Several years later he was appointed clerk of the chancery court for the Richmond district, and retained this office until his death. Hening did little creative writing, but, despite professional duties that were exacting as well as heavy, worked tirelessly at legal compilations which were contemporaneously important and have proved often invaluable historically.
His first book was The New Virginia Justice (1795), a handbook of procedure for magistrates, which was both serviceable and popular, was endorsed and distributed by the state, and went through four--perhaps five--editions. In 1808 he drew up a pamphlet of the militia laws of Virginia, and the same year, with William Munford, issued the first of four volumes of Virginia court of appeals reports (1808-1811). He published The American Pleader and Lawyer's Guide (1811); edited a collection of the legal maxims of Noy, Branch, and Francis, Maxims of Law and Equity (1824); and assisted Benjamin Watkins Leigh in preparing his Revised Code of the Laws of Virginia (1819).
Soon after his removal to Richmond he began to engage actively upon the work which has made his name revered by Virginia lawyers and antiquarians and which led the historian Bancroft to observe that "no other State in the Union possesses so excellent a work on its legislative history. "
His thirteen volumes of The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of all the Laws of Virginia (1809-1823), published under enactment of the legislature, comprise the laws of Virginia from the first session of the colonial Assembly in 1619 down to 1792, together with the mass of official papers necessary to a complete understanding of the legislation and the political history of the state. Undoubtedly the example, if not the direct precept, of Thomas Jefferson induced him to undertake this task. Jefferson had already expended much money and effort in gathering together the manuscript and printed laws of the commonwealth, alone among the states at that time in owning no complete collection of her statutes, and, confident of his former neighbor's scholarly exactness, willingly turned over his materials to Hening. After laborious research and considerable drudgery, Hening, practically unaided, filled the lacunae in Jefferson's accumulation of documents and, although hampered by various vicissitudes, finally saw his work in the permanence of print.
He died in Richmond, after a lingering illness.
