----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 9:43 AM Subject: [HENSLEY-L] FYI LETS SOUND OFF I apologise for not following suggested format, but already have my oldest known ancestors history already typed up with all known clues. I type slow so will paste. Nathan Hensley, my GGGGrandfather B. abt 1775 location unk.Parents unk. (Have a handwritten document with what appears to be Wm. in front of Nathan), so assume his name to be William Nathan or Nathaniel.1810 Halifax Co. heads of households lists Nathan 1 White male 16 years or older 2 slaves and 4 horses.In Halifax Co. VA 8 Sep 1801 he married Martha "Patsey" McCraw b. 1780 in Halifax Co. VA. witnesses William Phelps Minister Rev. Hawkins Landrum. His son, my GGGrandfather William McCraw Hensley b. 1804 in Halifax Co. VA.It is unk. as to what happened to Patsey McCraw, but Nathan mar. Jane Priddy 23 Nov 1810 in Halifax Co. VA: Daughter: Eliza Jane b. 1813 in Halifax Co. VA. First known records of Nathan in Henry Co. VA. In 1819 he applied for and was granted a license to operate a house of entertainment in Leatherwood ( Word passed down that he played Cornet).Records show purchase in 1821 of 392 acres of land on Grassy Creek, just a few miles west of present day Martinsville, VA . 1829 and 1830 records show sales of same land. Henry Co. Census 1820: males 0-10 (3) Males 16-18 (1) males 16-26 (1) males 26-45 (1) Females 0-10 (2) 26-45 (1)Henry Co. Census 1830: Males 10-15 (1) 50+ (1) Females 5-10 (1) 15-20 (1). Nathans wife Jane Priddy evidently died or left between 1820-1830.Nathan in Patrick Co.VA Census 1840: Males 60-70 (1) Females 15-20 (1) 20-30 (1) William McCraw Hensley returned to Halifax Co.married Martha Bomar b. 1800 Halifax Co. on 21 Jul 1821. Consent Bibby Bomar. Attest. Thomas East, John L. Williams and Thomas L. Martin. William and Martha's children born in Halifax co. .First records of Nathan in Henry Co. 1819; William would have been only 15 Years old. At some later date, William McCraw Hensley and family did move to Henry Co.Eliza Jane Hensley, Nathans daughter married Austin Agee in Patrick Co. 31 Jan 1843. Unable to locate or identify any of Nathan's children in 1820 and 1830 Henry Co. census other than William and Eliza Jane.Military service War of 1812: 1st Calvary (Holcombs) VA militia, 30 Aug 1814- 21 Sep 1814. Days in service 23. Pay per month $8.00. Pay for horse 40 cents per day. Total pay $6.13 for Nathan and $9.20 for horse. Total pay $15.33.Co. VA census for 1820 and 1830 lists a Nathan, Lewis and John as heads of households, but to this date I have not been able to determine relationship, if any of these three Hensleys. One tax record seems to indicate Lewis and John paying taxes on same property, which may indicate co-ownership.Nathan was listed with two daughters in Patrick Co.VA census 1840. This is last record of Nathan found at this point.Would love to be able to identify Nathans other children. Hopefully someone out there has traced their ancestors back to Nathan and Jane Priddy.

Great idea!! My earliest Hensley, is Lemuel Taylor(?) Hensley b 1785 in NC m. Mary Brewer One of his sons was Lemuel Perry Hensley b. 1833 in TN m. Nancy Broadstreet moved to Searcy County, AR Lemuel Perry's last child James Robert Hensley b. 1885 in AR m. Eller Genettie Stephens (these were my grandparents) James Robert and Eller Genettie had a daughter Ruah Lee Hensley b. 1910 in AR (my mother) who m. William Howard Criner My name is Ella Porter and I live in San Luis Obispo Looking fro Lemuel Taylor(?) Hensley's parents-have heard Hickman Hensley b. 1759 NC and Agnes Fisher but cannot verify.
Great Idea Nadine... William Henslee born Caswell County NC 1819 married Lucy Malinda Aldridge born Caswell County NC 1830 Moved to Webster County Missouri Zara Henslee (my grandfather) born in 1850 married Hepsabeth (possibly Cox) born in Missouri From this marriage my father Charles Albert Henslee/Hensley was born June 8, 1880. He married Julia? in Missouri in 1889. And then married Niecie Miller in 1924 in Missouri.
Looking for parents of Elizabeth Hensley. She was born in NC and married Samuel Wilson of Burke Co. NC probably in the 1820's. She died 6 Aug 1889 in Macon Co, NC. She and Samuel had many children, the youngest was my ancestor Silas. Samuel probably died in the mid 1860's when Elizabeth moved to Macon with her son Silas. Silas was born in 1851 and died in 1890. Any leads appreciated. Lynda Wilson
Lynda, I have a Harry and Mary Hensley with a son George W. Hensley that fits the description you gave. I don't know if it is the same family or not, but it looks like a strong possibility. They were in Washington Co, TN in 1850 and 1860. Mary was born in NC, and their son George W was born ca 1858/59 in TN, so everything is close to what you are looking for. Check out my web page on this family at: http://www.martygrant.com/gen/hensley/hensley-henry-washington-tn.htm If you think it is a match, let me know.

Larkin Hensley b: c1767 VA (Culpeper? Buckingham?) m c1788 Washington Co, VA (now Scott Co, VA) to Sarah --- (or Emaline Childress?) d c1805 of Washington and Scott Co, VA. Son: Samuel Hensley b 1801 Washington Co, VA m 1823 Knox Co, TN to Nancy Johnson d 1852 Monroe Co, TN daughter: Rachel B.

Great idea Nadine~~ as I am going nowhere with my search. My lost loved one--- and major brick wall is~~ ~(according to my Great Grandfather's Death Certificate~~~) Harry HENSLEY b. approx 1820/30's something in Tennessee married Polly SHELTON --- born in North Carolina (I have been unsuccessful in finding anything on these two) so far~~~one known son, my Great Grandfather: George Washington HENSLEY ( according to Death Certificate) b. in Tennessee- 1857 (unknown where in Tennessee) Was a Deputy Sheriff in Madison County, N.C. Lived in Walnut- N.C. when married. Buried in Wilde Cemetery-1947 married: Milam CHANDLEY/RAMSEY/SHELTON in approx 1892 3 children born to this marriage: L.B. HENSLEY--- (possibly William Elbert HENSLEY) (My Grandfather) married Ada ROBERTS in 1914 in Spartanburg S.C. Lived and died in Marion, McDowell County, North Carolina. Buried in Chapel Hill Cemetery, Marion N.C. 2 children born to this union: William Elbert HENSLEY John Avery HENSLEY Nelson HENSLEY --- Married to "Aunt Edie" - Edith HENSLEY- lived in Madison County, North Carolina. No children Nita HENSLEY WILDE ---- Married to Fred WILDE- eventually lived and passed away in Columbus, North Carolina. 9 or 10 children born to this marriage. One son-- James HARRY Wilde, and the rest--daughters. Am hoping someone has information (especially WHERE in Tennessee) on my Great-Great Grandparents Harry and Polly, and the names of their children. This search has come to a standstill.
