Hi Linda, Once again, I am convinced we have line that join somewhere. The only Hensley of mine that I know anything about has the middle name of Green, as your Hiram does. She is Emma Green Hensley, b. 3/16/1857, d. 1/22/1919 in Covington, KY. Her mother was Mary (Presumably Green) Hensley who was married to a John Hensley. We have no vitals on John or Mary. John's father was a methodist minister, and John's mother was a full blood Cherokee. Please tell me there is a connection. Ron http://community.webtv.net/oitsuron/RONANDLUELLAEDWARDS
