Amy HENSLEY in Jefferson Co., 22 April 1817. Harmon is found in Monroe Co., 1830 Census; Bradley Co., 1840 Census, and in Roane Co., 1850 Census. He is a widower in 1850, m. Eliza PARKER, 14 Dec 1851. Several of the HENSLEY families came into the Hiwassee District, Roane Co. from Jefferson/Grainger/possibly Claiborne areas, and wonder if this is what brought Harmon to that area of Roane Co. One son carries JENKINS/GENKINS as a middle name, which might be a clue to the next generation back. In 1850 Census, it states Harmon was b. NC. (Also found spelled Harman.) Looking for approximate time of arrival of the GRIFFIN family in Jefferson Co., and also interested in early HENSLEY families.
