!WILL:22 Jan 1850 Washington Co., IN Will Book A p. 424 John Fleenor
names Henry Fleenor, Abraham Fleenor, Sarah Jane & Martha Fleenor "the children of Betsy Hensley from whom I was divorced" leaving them the sum of $1.00 each. He also named his wife Rebecca and their children (but not by name). (Washington Co., IN Will Book A page 424)

An Estate record (I've only seen an abstract) shows these heirs as of 19 Oct 1855: George Housh and wife Polly; Nicholas Fleenor; Michael Fleenor; William and Sarah Bowman; John Carter and wife Nancy; Jacob Housh and Dorcas; David D. Nicholson and Elizabeth; James Fleenor; Abraham Fleenor; Jacob Fleenor; Isaac Fleenor, Frederick Fleenor, Christopher Fleenor, Benjamin Fleenor, Simon Hornocker and Rhoda A.; Henry Fleenor; William Driskell and Martha Ellen; William Fleenor and Francis Marion Fleenor. (Violet Cook, Indianapolis to Mrs. Gibbons, 22 Jun 1967). I would guess that most of those children are from John Fleenor's second marriage.

* There were 26 Fleenor families in Washington Co, VA in 1820 (really!), so it's entirely possible that this is a different Elizabeth. The age is off somewhat as well, so it probably isn't our Elizabeth;
