I (Marty Grant) am not related to Lemuel Hensley as far as I know.

Lemuel Hensley was born ca 1780/90 (per his age on the 1830 and 1840 census). He was probably born in North Carolina. Ella Porter reports that the 1880 census records for two of Lemuel's sons (Porter and Lemuel P.) both list their father's place of birth as North Carolina.

I don't know who Lemuel Hensley's parents were. Others have listed him as a son of Hickman Hensley (1759) and Agness Fisher, but I see no way for this to be true. I can see why someone might assume that, considering that several of Hickman's children were in Wayne Co, TN in 1820, as was Lemuel Hensley, but as far as I know, that is the only connection between them. An analysis of Hickman Hensley's 1790 and 1800 census entries show no room for Lemuel Hensley to be with him. In 1790, Hickman had 4 sons, all of whom are accounted for. The 1800 census for Hickman shows 5 sons, all also accounted for. So based only on that, I'd say it isn't likely that Lemuel was Hickman's son.

So, who then were Lemuel Hensley's parents? Unfortunately, I can't answer that question, I don't even have a good guess at this point.

Presumably, Lemuel would have been home with his parents for the 1790 and 1800 census. Unfortunately, I don't know where to look, so can't do any kind of analysis. However, consider that in 1790, Lemuel would be in the "under 16" age group (born ca 1774/1790). In 1800, he would be in either the 10-15 age group (born ca 1784/90) or the 16-25 group (born ca 1774/84). There are too many Hensleys in North Carolina with sons those ages, so no real help narrowing it down. Unfortunately, the 1790 and 1800 census records for Tennessee are completely lost, so no help there either.

Lemuel Hensley was in Tennessee before ca 1805 (date of birth for his oldest child). He was in Wayne County, Tennessee later on, but I don't know where he was in those early years. What is now Wayne County, Tennessee was still Indian lands until 1803 when Stewart and Dickson Counties were formed, covering parts of what is now Wayne County. In 1807, Hickman County was formed from part of Dickson, including part of the area that later became Wayne County. In 1809 Humphreys County was created from Stewart, including parts that later became Wayne. Wayne was formed in 1817 from Humphreys and Hickman County. So if Lemuel was in that area before 1817, he lived through several county changes.

Lemuel Hensley married someone before ca 1805, presumably in Tennessee. I have no record of his wife's name. She was born ca 1775/1794 (per 1820 census).

Lemuel Hensley probably was listed on the 1810 census, however, this census was lost most of Tennessee.

Lemuel Hensley was listed on the 1820 census in Wayne County, TN. There were several other Hensleys there in 1820, but none listed close by. Lemuel was listed between James Campbell and William Boyles. Other Hensleys in the county were James F. Hensley (c1790) (son of Hickman); Samuel Hensley (c1780) (son of Hickman); Washington Hensley (c1774/84) (son of Henry); Larkin Hensley (1779) (son of Hickman); John Hensley (c1775/94) and Lydia Hensley (bef 1775). Nothing known of these last two. As mentioned, none of these other Hensleys were listed near Lemuel. Since most of these Hensleys were from the Buncombe - Yancey Co, NC Hensley group, it may be an indication that Lemuel belonged to the same group. The 1820 census record showed Lemuel Hensley with 1 slave.

Apparently, Lemuel's first wife died ca 1829/30 in Wayne Co, TN. On the 1830 census, he had no apparent wife, unless the female age 20-29 (born ca 1800/10) was his wife. If so, she was younger in 1830 than she was in 1820. This could be her, or another wife, or Mary, whom I thought he married ca 1830/32.

In 1830, Lemuel was listed on the Wayne Co, TN census, between Noah Cantrell and Samuel Bromley (his son-in-law). This census showed Lemuel with 5 slaves. There were other Hensleys listed also, but none nearby, except Lemuel's son John, just a few houses away on the previous page.

Lemuel Hensley married Mary Brewer ca 1830/32 in Wayne Co, TN. According to Ella Porter, Mary's maiden name is proven by the Will of her father Henry Brewer. It is possible they married before 1830, and if so, then she was with him in 1830, but listed in the age 20-29 category (born ca 1800/10) which is too young. Mary was born ca 1795/96.

According to Ella Porter, Mary's father was Henry Brewer, so I checked the 1850 census to see if he was listed then (I don't know when he died). I found five Henry Brewers listed in Wayne County, TN! Only one was old enough to be Mary's father, and that Henry was born ca 1779/80 in KY, with wife Mary, (c1780/81) born TN. They were barely old enough to be the ones, so might not be (or else Mary's birth year of ca 1795/96 is off somewhat).

Lemuel Hensley was listed on the 1840 census in Wayne Co, TN. He was listed between W. Bradshaw and Samuel Bromley (his son-in-law). Next to Samuel Bromley on the other side was Lemuel's son William L. Hensley. On the previous page, but not too many houses away, was Lemuel's son Presley W. Hensley. These three Hensleys were the only ones in Wayne County in 1840.

Lemuel Hensley died ca 1840/41 in Wayne Co, TN. There is a Wayne County deed naming several of his heirs, dated 3 Apr 1841. (Wayne Co, TN Deed Book E page 195, thanks to Laura Schreibman for sharing that with me)

The deed mentioned above names Lemuel's widow Mary, and adult children John M. Hensley, Mark H. Hensley, William L. Hensley, Presley W. Hensley, Permina, wife of Samuel Bromley, and Nancy D., wife of Andrew Jackson McBride. (Thanks to Laura Schreibman for sharing that).

Lemuel's widow Mary was listed on the 1850 census in Wayne Co, TN, with her son Benjamin Hensley with her. The other unmarried children were all residing with their sister Permina Bromley in Wayne Co, TN (including Benjamin, who was listed twice, once with his mother, and again with his sister). Mary and Benjamin were not listed near any other Hensleys.

Mary died sometime after 1850, probably in Wayne Co, TN, though it is possible that she joined some of her children in Searcy Co, Arkansas.


Children

Lemuel Hensley and his two wives had thirteen known children, plus the census records seem to indicate several more who are unknown. A Wayne County deed was made after Lemuel's death (deed dated 3 Apr 1841) which named his widow and his adult children, thus proving who they were.

John M. Hensley was born ca 1804/05 in Tennessee, perhaps in the area that later became Wayne County. John is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed mentioned before.

John was apparently home with his parents for the 1820 census, age 10-14 (born ca 1804/1810).

John M. Hensley married Mary --- ca 1825/30 in Wayne Co, TN.

Sometime after 1830 they moved to Searcy Co, Arkansas. See his own page for more information.


Permina Hensley was born ca 1810/11 in Tennessee, perhaps in the area that later became Wayne County. Permina (or "Perlina") is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed mentioned before.

Permina was apparently home with her parents for the 1820 census, age "under 10" (born ca 1810/20).

Permina married Samuel Bromley (a. k. a. "Brimley", "Brumley", etc) ca 1829/30 in Wayne Co, TN.

Samuel Bromley was listed on the 1830 census in Wayne Co, TN next door to Lemuel Hensley.

Permina's father Lemuel Hensley died ca 1841, and a deed was made between his widow and adult heirs, including "Permina, wife of Samuel Bromley". (Wayne Co, TN Deed Book E page 195).

Samuel and Permina and family were listed on the 1850 census in White Co, TN. Several of Permina's younger siblings were residing with them in 1850.

I have no data on the family beyond this point. 


Unknown Son (1810/15). Lemuel Hensley had an apparent son this age with him in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20) and with him in 1830 (age 15-19, born ca 1810/15). He was not with Lemuel any longer by 1840, so married or died by then.

Since the adult heirs of Lemuel were named in an 1841 deed, I can only presume that this son must have died, or else he ought to have been named as well.


Mark H. Hensley was born ca 1817/18 in Wayne Co, TN. Mark is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed (previously mentioned).

Mark was apparently home with his parents for the 1820 census (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20), and apparently with them for the 1830 census, age 10-14 (born ca 1815/20).

Mark H. Hensley married Sarah C. --- ca 1838 or before, in Wayne Co, TN.

They moved to Searcy Co, Arkansas shortly after marriage. See his own page for more information.


William L. Hensley was born ca 1815/20 in Wayne Co, TN. William is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed (previously mentioned).

William was apparently home with his parents for the 1820 census (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20), and apparently with them for the 1830 census, age 10-14 (born ca 1815/20).

William L. Hensley married Nancy --- ca 1838 or before, in Wayne Co, TN.

William L. Hensley died ca 1843/50 in Wayne Co, TN. See his own page for more information.


Unknown Son (1810/20). Lemuel Hensley had an apparent child this age with him for the 1820 census (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20), but he was gone by 1830, so probably dead or married by then. I suspect he died, as he was not named in the 1841 deed naming the adult heirs of Lemuel Hensley.

Presley W. Hensley was born ca 1822/3 in Wayne Co, TN. Presley is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed (previously mentioned).

Presley was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 census, age 5-9 (born ca 1820/25).

Presley W. Hensley married Elizabeth --- ca 1835/40 in Wayne Co, TN.

See his own page for more information.


Nancy D. Hensley was born ca 1825/26 in Wayne Co, TN. Nancy is a proven child of Lemuel, named as an heir in the 1841 deed (previously mentioned).

Nancy was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 census, age "under 5" (born ca 1825/30), and apparently with them in 1840 (age 10-14, born ca 1825/30).

Nancy D. Hensley married Andrew Jackson McBride ca 1840/41 in Wayne Co, TN.

Andrew and Nancy left Tennessee and moved to Yell County, Arkansas by 1843.

Andrew, Nancy and their children were listed on the 1850 census in Yell County, Arkansas. I don't have their entry typed up yet.


Wesley Hensley was born ca 1829/30 in Wayne Co, TN. I've seen no direct proof that Wesley was a child of Lemuel Hensley, but he fits, and was nearby. Edith Priddy stated in a letter (1975) that Wesley belonged in this family, and that his full name was "Wesley Green Hensley". (Thanks to Laura Schreibman for that info).

Wesley was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 census, age "under 5" (born ca 1825/30), and apparently with them in 1840 (age 5-9, born ca 1830/35).

In 1850, Wesley was listed in Wayne County, TN, residing with a Bush family (couldn't make out given name of head of household), as a Laborer. I don't know if they were related, but perhaps they were, for there was a William Bush residing with Samuel Bromley (Wesley's brother-in-law) a few pages away.

Wesley married Nancy E. --- between 1850 and 1852, presumably in Wayne Co, TN. Nancy was born ca 1832/33 in Tennessee. I don't know her maiden name.

They moved to Searcy Co, AR between ca 1854 and ca 1856.

They were listed on the 1860 census in Searcy County, Arkansas.

I don't have them in 1870, but they were still in Searcy for the 1880 census. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.


Unknown Son (1825/30). Lemuel Hensley had an apparent son this age with him for the 1830 census (age "under 5", born ca 1825/30), but he was gone by 1840, so probably had died by then.


Unknown Daughter (1825/30). Lemuel Hensley had an apparent daughter this age with him for the 1830 census (age "under 5", born ca 1825/30), but she was gone by 1840, so probably had died by then.


Permelia Hensley was born ca 1830, but I have no direct evidence for her being Lemuel's, nor for this approximate birth year. Her name was given by Edith Priddy in a 1975 letter, as a child in this family. Other than that, I have no data on her. Edith Priddy also stated that Permelia married Thomas Pritchard.

Someone Permelia's age was with Lemuel Hensley in 1830 (age "under 5", born ca 1825/30), and with him in 1840 (age 5-9, born ca 1830/35). I did not find Permelia on the 1850 census, so she must have married by then.

I looked for Thomas Pritchard in Wayne Co, TN and in Searcy Co, AR, but did not find him in either place in 1850.


Martha Hensley was born ca 1832, but I have no direct evidence for her being Lemuel's. Her name was given by Edith Priddy in a 1975 letter, as a child in this family. Edith Priddy also stated that Martha married Lewis Brewer.

Someone Martha's age was with Lemuel Hensley in 1840 (age 5-9, born ca 1830/35). I did not find Martha on the 1850 census, so she must have married by then.

Lewis Brewer and wife Martha were living with Riley and Margaret Brewer for the 1850 census in Wayne Co, TN. Presumably they were his parents.


Lemuel Perry Hensley was born ca 1834/35 in Wayne Co, TN. He was apparently home with his father for the 1840 census (age "under 5", born ca 1835/40).

In 1850, he was residing with his sister Permina Hensley Bromley in Wayne Co, TN. (See her entry above for the census record).

Lemuel married Nancy A. Broadstreet on or after 18 Aug 1859 (date of marriage bond) in Wayne Co, TN. On the bond, he was listed as "L. P. Hensley" and she as "N. A. Broadstreet". Nancy was born ca 1841/42 in TN, a child of William H. and Eliza Broadstreet. They were listed on the 1850 census in Wayne Co, TN just a few pages from the Hensleys.

Lemuel and Nancy were listed on the 1860 census in Wayne County, TN.

Lemuel and family were still in Wayne Co, TN for the 1870 census on page 521: L. P. Hensley-35, Nancy-32, Lemuel-12, John-8. (From "Hensley Households" by Laura Schreibman).

I have no data on them after this point.


Porter M. Hensley was born ca 1835/36 in Wayne Co, TN. He was apparently home with his father for the 1840 census (age "under 5", born ca 1835/40). In her letter of 1975, Edith Priddy gave Porter's birth date as 12 May 1833, but I don't know what the source for that is. It seems to be off by a couple of years.

In 1850, he was residing with his sister Permina Hensley Bromley in Wayne Co, TN. (See her entry above for the census record).

Porter moved to Searcy Co, Arkansas in the 1850's, presumably to join many of his siblings already there.

Porter Hensley was listed on the 1860 census in Searcy Co, Arkansas as age 22, in the home of William and Louisa Wyatt, relationship unknown.

Porter M. Hensley married Elizabeth Christy ca 1860/62 in Searcy Co, AR. Her maiden name is per Edith Priddy. I don't know what the source for it is.

Porter and family moved to Greene Co, Missouri in the ca 1863/65 timeframe.

Porter was listed on the 1870 census in Greene Co, Missouri, on page 180: Porter M. Hensley-36 TN, Elizabeth-30 AR, Porter-7 AR, Edgar-5 MO, Inez-2 MO. (From "Hensley Households" by Laura Schreibman).


Benjamin W. Hensley was born ca 1837/38 in Wayne Co, TN. He was apparently home with his father for the 1840 census (age "under 5", born ca 1835/40).

In 1850, he was residing with his sister Permina Hensley Bromley in Wayne Co, TN. (See her entry above for the census record). Benjamin was also listed with his widowed mother on the 1850 census in Wayne Co, TN.

Benjamin was still with his sister Permina for the 1860 census.

I have no data on him beyond this point.


Tennessee Hensley was born ca 1838/39 in Wayne Co, TN. She was apparently home with her father for the 1840 census (age "under 5", born ca 1835/40).

In 1850, she was residing with her sister Permina Hensley Bromley in Wayne Co, TN. (See her entry above for the census record).

Tennessee Hensley moved to Searcy Co, Arkansas in the 1850's.

She was listed on the 1860 census in Searcy Co, AR as Tennessee Hensley, age 20, in the home of James and Louisa Albritton, relationship unknown. She was just five houses from her brother Wesley G. Hensley.
