Information we do have is that he was born abt 1780 in Virginia,and moved about 1790 or- 2 to 3 years,to Sumner co. Tenn. He is shown in Sumner Co.Tn court minutes "First monday in October: State v Harman Hensly fornication.dft bond, Elisha Oglesby security for maintenance of base begotton child of Betsey Meeklly now pregnant; also paid his fine." Also, he and Charles signed a Petition of 1799 to the House of Representatives petitioning that the Sumner co due to its size, should be divided so that citizens could more easily attend courts, general assemblies, & publick meetings"We have no concluding evidence as t0 the relationship with Charles...father?/brother?..we find Harmon listed in the "1830 Citizens of Texas" by Gifford white...land records, etc...He probablly died, 10Nov 1835 in Columbia, Brazoria, Texas...maybe possibly Washington co Texas as that is where his land was... Hope this strikes a note with someone! mavis Hensley Sager Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
