I (Marty Grant) am not related to Abram Hensley as far as I know.
Abram Hensley was born ca 1836/37 in Yancey Co, NC. He is most likely a son of Blanchey Hensley (she was living with him in 1870).
Abram was not found on the 1850 census. He was probably residing with some other family as a hired laborer, or perhaps off in school somewhere, and just not listed on the census. He was not home with his mother Blanchey in 1850.
On 1 Mar 1853, Abram Hensley married Ellender McMahan in Yancey Co, NC. Ellender was born ca 1835/36, presumably in Yancey Co, NC. I do not know who Ellender's parents were. Although there were McMahan's in Yancey Co, NC in 1850, none of them had a daughter named "Ellender" listed with them.
Abram and family were listed on the 1860 census in Yancey Co, NC just a few houses from his mother Blanchey.

Abram and family were still in Yancey for the 1870 census. Abram's apparent mother Blanchey Hensley was residing with them. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
Abram and family were in Yancey for the 1880 census, in Pensacola Township. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
I have no data on them beyond this point.
Abram and Ellender had at least 14 children by 1880. I don't have much additional data on the children so far.
