Leona, I,too, am looking for Hensley ancestors who were Cherokee. Don't have any names though. Except that a Reverend Hensley married a full blood Cherokee woman. Their son married a Mary (Green?) and Mary and her husband had a daughter named Emma Green Hensley who died in Covington, Kentucky on 1/22/1919. Emma was married to Francis Marion Lucas on 4/26/1874 in Grant County, Kentucky. They were married by Rev. Theo Rankin. Mary's husband may have been John Hensley. Please let me know if our families might be connected. Thanks Ron
