This family is listed on the 1850 Harlan County, KY census # 161/161 Dist 1: Washington Hensley 41 b Tn; Ruth 35 b NC; Burton 18; Wilson 16; Mary 13; Washington 9; Henry 7; Eunice 4; James 1. The 1860 Harlan census adds Martha b ca 1850 and Josephus b ca 1854. Information I have is that George Washington and Ruth Edwards Hensley left Yancey Co, NC between 1847 and 1850. I think it highly likely that Ruth Edwards, age 35 in 1850, was the d/o James and Elizabeth Wilson Edwards of Yancey Co., NC who was born 4/14/1815.
