I have made to trips to Hamilton County and copied all the marriage licenses, wills, etc. I could get my hands on. I started a document - Unraveling the Hamilton County Hensleys. I found during my research that different lines were appearing in, around, next to my Hensley line. I have corresponded with numerous members of the various HC lines. When I first started I thought there were five different Hensley lines in Hamilton County. Through years of research, I have narrowed it down to three lines: Charles b. 1793 North Carolina, John F. born 1825, Tennessee (grandson of Hickman) and Joseph Bonaparte b. 1810 Vriginia, (believe him to be a descendent or Robert b. 1759 Penn.) I have started the 8th draft of my document with marriage license, wills, obits, census records, etc. All these documents still need to be inserted as I only work on this in fits and spurts. I would be happy to send you a copy of draft 7, but I have corresponded with a number of descendants that have made additions and corrections. I noticed that all the lines used the name Newton, that two different lines married the same woman, etc. I just felt they had to tie in. I believe they will at Benjamin and Elizabeth.
