I wonder if your Hensley is related to my gg grandmother Julia A. Hensley b 1839, parents were Evan S. Hensley b 1809 and Annis Anderson. Elijah Hensley (Evan's father) died in 1815. Evan Hensley had 10 children; Emily, John, Julia, Joseph, William, James, Isabella, Charlotte, Sarah, and Laura. Julia married Nathan Williams 1823-1880. Evan was born in KY and died in IL. Katy

That is interesting that Evan was born in Ky and died in IL. Evan would have been the same generation as my Bird Hensley. Now let me say that Bird was in Cabell County in what is now WV before I find him in Illinois. It is his wife, Nancy Webb, who is said to have been born in KY. I find Bird in a court record accepting something delivered to Solomon Hensley when he is quite young....perhaps 16...I can't get my hands on the information right now but it would have been after 1815 and before 1829. I haven't yet found any record of any of the other Cabell County Hensleys going to Illinois---but you know, I haven't looked that hard at that. And I should also add that the part of WV that the Hensleys were living in was quite close to the KY/WV border.
