    3. Hi Sorry, but for some reason I have lost the email address of the Don who has the lengthy history. I made contact with him in perhaps 1994. At that time, I found in the archives of postings via AOL, a family history that almost read like a novel. Most of the detail was in Kentucky but it did have the info I sent on to you. I had printed it out and sent to a cousin who has been chasing our Hensley line for years. She could find no connection between Don and our line but did send back several pieces of information relative to Don's line. I forwarded it to him but have lost the email address. Also put him in contact with another relative of is I spotted in another site. We are stuck with Thomas Hensley born in 1828, married a Nancy Davis in Clark Cty Indiana in 1848. He reportedly said his father was born in Virginia. Our best unproven theory is that he was one of the later of large family of James Hensley who shows up in Jefferson and Oldam County--across from Clark Cty VA. The oldest proven child was John who married in 1834 and the youngest proven was William who married in 1847. One of the proven girls,Lucinda, married a Hicks. There were two other Hensley females (unproven) who married Hicks. Also another unproven son married another Davis. We have been in contact with descendant of Lucinda and other Hicks but still have nothing to prove the theory. Have not been able to track any of the Davis line. Happily, my other lines are more traceable--back to England, Germany and to Switzerland. But this Hensley line stays stuck. If you have any clues, I would appreciate your input. Norm
