I (Marty Grant) am not related to Jane Hensley as far as I know.
Jane Hensley was born ca 1831/32 in Buncombe Co, NC (now Yancey Co, NC).
I have no clues at present as to who Jane's parents might have been. In the 1850 census she was listed only 5 houses from George W. Hensley, who was only six years older than her, so a possible older brother.
Jane was probably home with her parents for the 1840 census.
Jane was residing with the William Byrd (c1778) and Elizabeth Byrd (c1785) family in 1850 Yancey Co, NC. She was 18, so she might have been living with them as a hired domestic servant, or then again, they could be her grandparents. The only other Hensleys' nearby were the aforementioned George W. Hensley.

I have no additional data on this family at present. I didn't find Jane on the 1860 census, but she certainly could have married between 1850 and 1860 (or died). There was a marriage between a Jane Hensley and Archibald Bennett in Yancey Co, NC dated 23 Mar 1853. I haven't followed up with them to see if this is the same Jane or not.
At present, I have no additional data on Jane Hensley, including who, if anyone, she married (unless it was Archibald Bennett in 1853).
