If genealogy was as easy as the stars make it seem we would all be finished by now!...they just do an inquiry, get on a plane or in a car and off to meet someone who has a fist full of papers and pictures, too. Oh, but I digress. She (Judd) found her great-great grandfather was Elijah Hensley in Kentucky. He had joined the army during early Civil War times at the age of 15, been taken prisoner 2x and lost a leg @ the age of 17. He went on to become a farmer as well as a circuit Methodist preacher. He lived throughout his life and also died in Kentucky. (don't know location) I do know this branch of Hensleys' is not my branch. Just curious to have your post in my mailbox the day after seeing that show. Very interesting don't you think? Good luck to you...this is a very challenging "hobby".
