James Hensley was born ca 1780/81 per his age on the 1850 census (69). He was born in Rockingham Co., VA (presumably).

James is a proven son of Mary Hensley (bef 1765) of Rockingham. It isn't clear who her husband was, or if she was a single mother instead.

The 1790 and 1800 censuses are lost for Rockingham. Mary Hensley is listed on the 1801 tax list in Rockingham Co., VA and has one male over 16 with her (not named). That is probably James who was about 20 then.

On 17 Dec 1802 James Hensley obtained a marriage bond in Rockingham to marry Elizabeth Maden, daughter of Dosiah Hall, formerly Maden. Mary Hensley, mother of James stated he was 21.

Elizabeth Maiden was born ca 1784/85 per her age on the 1850 census (65). Her tombstone lists 1785 as her birth year, but the month and day weren't given. I have parents listed for her, but I don't know the source for the information. Her marriage bond lists her mother as Dosiah Hall, formerly Maden who gives permission for her daughter to marry. Docia Hall, widow of James Maiden filed a pension application (# W 5098) for her late husband's Revolutionary War Service. It shows her second husband was Bazel Hall.

They are listed on the 1810 census in Rockingham next to his mother.

James is listed on the 1820 census in Rockingham next to brother Benjamin. This census was alphabetical, so I don't know if they were actually neighbors or not.

James Hensley died in August 1864 per his tombstone. Elizabeth Maiden Hensley died 30 Sep 1864 per her tombstone. They are buried together at the Hensley Community Cemetery in Rockingham Co., VA.

Children of James Hensley and Elizabeth Maiden. The 1850 census proves three children: John, Eliza and Wesley Hensley. Robert, William and James Hensley are their neighbors in 1840 and 1850 and are very likely their sons. Robert is proven by his own marriage bond. They also have several daughters. One (Mary) is proven by her marriage record. I don't know if there is a Will or any estate records that prove James's children, but I have a list based on census analysis and circumstantial evidence. Unfortunately they haven't been found on the 1830 census so that makes census analysis incomplete, and it is already an in-exact science. James's brother Benjamin Hensley had several children, but his are proven by Estate records, leaving several unknown Hensleys in the county, most of whom are probably James's children.

There were several female Hensleys who married in Rockingham before 1850. Those who aren't proven to be Benjamin's children are almost certainly James's, though there could be exceptions.

  1. Unknown Daughter (1794/1800)
  2. Unknown Daughter (1800/1810)
  3. Unknown Daughter (1800/1810)
  4. Unknown Daughter (1800/1810)
  5. Mary Hensley (c1806)
  6. Unknown Son (1810/1820)
  7. Unknown Son (1810/1820)
  8. Unknown Daughter (1810/1820)
  9. Unknown Daughter (1810/1820)
  10. Unknown Daughter (1810/1820)
  11. John Hensley (c1820)
  12. Robert B. Hensley (1822)
  13. Eliza A. Hensley (1827)
  14. Wesley A. Hensley (c1829)
Unknown Daughter (1794/1800). A child this age was with James Hensley in 1810. Since she pre-dates his 1802 marriage by a few years I imagine she isn't his child at all, but a niece or perhaps not related. She was gone from James Hensley's household by 1820.
Unknown Daughter (1800/1810). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1810, aged under 10 (ca 1800/10). She was gone from his household by 1820 so probably married or dead by then.

I don't know who this might have been.

Unknown Daughter (1800/1810). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1810, aged under 10 (ca 1800/10). She was gone from his household by 1820 so probably married or dead by then.

I don't know who this might have been.

Unknown Daughter (1800/1810). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1810, aged under 10 (ca 1800/10). She was gone from his household by 1820 so probably married or dead by then.

This is probably Delilah Hensley (c1810) who married Daniel Eppard (various spellings) in 1825. I have no direct proof yet that links to her to James Hensley, but I don't know who else she could belong to.

Mary Hensley was born ca 1805/06 per her age on the 1850 census (44). She was born in Rockingham Co., VA presumably. She seems to be with her parents for the 1810 census aged under 10 (ca 1800/10). She was still home in 1820 aged 10-15 (born ca 1804/10).

On 21 Sep 1822 John Samuels obtained a marriage bond in Rockingham Co., VA to marry Polly Hensley, daughter of James Hensley. James was the bondsman also. ("Polly" is a common nickname for "Mary")

They are on the 1830 census in Rockingham Co., VA and in neighboring Page Co., VA for the 1840 and 1850 census. Mary Hensley Samuels died in the 1850's for John was remarried by 1860 and living in Scott Co., IL at that time. I found a marriage record dated 17 Sep 1855 in Cass Co., IL for a John Samuels and Eliza Finny. This could be them.

Unknown Son (1810/1820). James Hensley had an apparent son this age with him in 1820, aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but the child was not with James in 1840 so probably married or dead by then.

This is almost certainly William Hensley (1814) who married Lucinda Hensley. He fits, and he isn't Benjamin Hensley's son for he married Benjamin's daughter. See their own page for more.

Unknown Son (1810/1820). James Hensley had an apparent son this age with him in 1820, aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but the child was not with James in 1840 so probably married or dead by then.

This is probably James T. Hensley (c1817) who married Amanda Breeden. He fits, and they were neighbors to James and Elizabeth.

Unknown Daughter (1810/1820). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1820, aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but the child was not with James in 1840 so probably married or dead by then.

This could be Elizabeth Hensley who married Thomas Lowry on or about 6 Apr 1826 in Rockingham. I wasn't able to find them on the 1830, 1840 or 1850 census in Rockingham. I searched nationwide in 1850 but didn't find Elizabeth then either.

Unknown Daughter (1810/1820). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1820, aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but the child was not with James in 1840 so probably married or dead by then.

This may be Malinda Hensley (no dates) who married Manson Smith in 1833. She died before 1847 for that year he married her cousin Mildred Hensley. I have no direct proof that Malinda is James's daughter, but it seems likely.

Unknown Daughter (1810/1820). James Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him in 1820, aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but the child was not with James in 1840 so probably married or dead by then.

This is probably Lucinda Hensley (c1816) who married Nicholas Breeden in Rockingham in 1837. They were on the 1840 and 1850 census in Rockingham next to Benjamin (1790), but she isn't his daughter, so she must be James's, though I have no direct proof of that connection, but it seems likely.

John Hensley was born ca 1819/20 per his age on the 1850 census (30). He was home with his parents in 1820 aged under 10 (born ca 1810/20). The 1830 census entry is missing, but he was still home in 1840 aged 15-19 (c1820/25). He was home with his parents in 1850 ("John" age 30).

John Hensley married Viranda E. Nicholson on -- --- 1850 (month and day not given) in neighboring Madison Co., VA. Since he was home and unmarried in June 1850, the marriage must have been just after the census but before the end of the year.

John is listed on the 1860 census next to his brother Wesley in Rockingham County.

I wasn't able to find John or wife on the 1870 or 1880 census.

Robert B. Hensley was born 5 Mar 1822 in Rockingham. He is a proven child of James as shown by his marriage bond (thanks to Pat Falls for sharing that tidbit).

Robert married Louisa J. Breeden.

See his own page for more on his family.

Eliza A. Hensley was born 7 Apr 1827 (per tombstone), presumably in Rockingham Co., VA. She was seemingly with her parents for the 1840 census, aged 10-14 (born ca 1825/30). She was with them in 1850 ("Eliza" age 23) and in 1860 ("Eliza A." age 33).

I was unable to locate her on the 1870 or 1880 census. She died on 16 Jun 1887 according to her tombstone at the Hensley Community Cemetery in Rockingham County. I don't know where she was living in the 23 years between her parents deaths and her own. I wonder if perhaps the tombstone was read incorrectly and it should say 1867 instead of 1887? 

Wesley A. Hensley was born ca 1828/29 per his age on the 1850 census (21). He was apparently home with his parents for the 1840 census, aged 10-14 (born ca 1825/30). He was home with them in 1850 ("Wesley" age 21).

On or about 4 Apr 1850 Wesley Hensley married Ellen Nichols in Rockingham Co., VA. Frances Ellen Nichols was born ca 1827/28, presumably in Rockingham. I don't know who her parents were.

The 1850 census was "as of" 1 Jun 1850, but Wesley was still home with his parents then with no wife living there. Perhaps he didn't marry until after that, or perhaps she should have been listed with him in 1850 but wasn't.

They are listed on the 1860 census in Rockingham next to brother John and a few houses from Wesley's parents.
