I (Marty Grant) am not related to the Beverly Hensley family as far as I know, but I am very interested in him though.
Special thanks to Benny E. Hensley for data shared on this family.
Beverly Hensley was born ca 1824/25 in Buncombe Co, NC (later Yancey, now Madison Co, NC). He is a proven son of Charles B. Hensley and Rhoda Franklin. Beverly was named in their estate records as an heir, or rather, his own heirs were named, as Beverly was deceased himself by that time.
Beverly was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 and 1840 census.
He married Minerva Jane Haire between 1840 and 1845, presumably in Yancey Co, NC. Thanks to Benny Hensley for her maiden name. I found her widowed mother Sarah H. R. Haire residing with Minerva in 1880, proving her maiden name.
Beverly Hensley was listed on the 1850 Yancey Co, NC census. He was clearly in the part of Yancey that became Madison County in 1851. He was only 7 households from a probable cousin George Hensley. Amos Hensley was not very far away either. Beverly's parents were not listed nearby at all. Beverly's next door neighbors were David Shelton and William Sanders.

In 1860 he is on the Madison Co, NC census. He was next door to his widowed mother.

According to Benny E. Hensley, Beverly Hensley died during the Civil War. He was mentioned in the estate of Charles Hensley as "the heirs of Beverly Richard Hensley".
I don't have Minerva in 1870, but presumably she was in Madison County.
In 1880 Minerva was in Madison, in Shelton Laurel Township, with her widowed mother Sarah Haire residing with her, and also her widowed sister Martha A. Haire Hensley (widow of a George Hensley, probably Beverly's brother George).
Beverly and Minerva had at least six children. Refer to the Register Report below for more information on them.
