Revision History:
  • 1 Jun 2009 - Updated register report to include data on Martha Hensley's children from 1880 census.
  • 18 May 2009 Updated page by Marty Grant, relationship unknown. This is a complete overhaul of the old page which had no documentation included.
John T. Hensley was born ca 1827/28 per his age on the 1860 census (32). He was 43 in 1870 (c1827). He may have been born in Henry Co., VA where he was living in 1860.

I don't know who his parents are. He didn't live near the other Hensleys in Henry County.

John Hensley would have been about two or three years old for the 1830 census. John Hensley (c1790) had two boys under 5 (c1825/30) in Henry County.

John would have been about 12 for the 1840 census. Lewis Hensley (1740/50) was the only Hensley listed in Henry Co., VA in 1840, but he had no children that age.

I wasn't able to find John Hensley on the 1850 census. He wasn't in Henry County nor elsewhere as far as I could find.

John T. Hensley married Frances (---) sometime before ca 1855, presumably in Henry County. She was born ca 1833/34 in Virginia (both per the 1860 census). I don't know her maiden name.

They are in Henry for the 1860 census, but not near any of the other Hensleys.
