Judy, in the Searcy Co 1870 for Bear Creek I find Mary H Hensley, widow of John, aged 59 b TN. She is living with Ebenezer D Arnold aged 33 b AR, Mary J aged 22 b AR, Eugene C aged 2 b AR. In the Searcy Co 1860 for Burrowsville [now Marshall]: John H/M Hensley 52 TN. Mary 49 TN. Henry Clay 16 AR. Mary Jane 12 AR. Thomas Moore 20 hireling. Joseph Renfrow 19 mail carrier. Edward Bruen 40 physician. There's no Mark or Elizabeth Renfroe in the 1860 nor 1870. There's no Hughes surname in the 1860 nor 1870. There's a bunch of Hensley families in Searcy Co census records. A quick glance indicates all born in TN or AR.
