My husband's mother's family were from that area and many were from Inez. Not a town you hear about every day. It looks like my husband's 4th great grandfather was Elijah Hensley who may be Ashley Judd's Elijah Hensley's father. My husband is related through what I think may be Elijah Hensley's half brother Aaron Hensley. That is if I have connected all the dots correctly??? I watched the show on Hulu.com and paused the show so I could read the letter Ashley Judd received concerning Elijah Hensley. On the letter the ,name, date of birth and death of both Elijah Hensley's father and mother were visible and those match my records for Elijah Hensley Sr.b 1793 d 1860.So it looks like my husband is related to Ashley Judd's Elijah Hensley. Pretty interesting stuff,but so hard to figure out the! complete truth. I really wish the earlier census had more than just the head of households name. That would certainly make things a little easier and more clear. Thanks for the post Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
