I have two John Hensley's (so does everybody else - I know). One of these is probably a son of William Hensley married to Nancy Gardner. Does anyone else have anything on these people. Kathleen Grone has John and Esther Hensley as son of William but according to 1850 Lewis County census that John was born in Virginia. Anybody else have an opinion? Does anyone have anything on John Franklin Hensley? John Franklin Hensley born about 1826, was married first, most likely to Elinor shown in 1850 census below. In 1860 census Elinor is gone and John is shown with seven children. 1850 Lewis County Census John F.
