Hensley Concentrations in Western NC, Eastern TN, North GA and SW VA

The base map above is from the National Atlas of the United States.

Notice the counties that I've highlighted. These are counties that had Hensleys in this particular region in the mid 1800's or earlier. This map is not complete by any means, but my goal was to show the strange concentration of Hensleys in this mountainous area. My Hensleys left Washington (now Scott) Co., VA and moved first to Knox Co., TN, then to Monroe Co., TN. Most of the South-western VA Hensleys have ties in North-east Tennessee. Most of the Hensleys in Washington and Unicoi Co., TN are from the western NC Hensleys, primarily based in Yancey and Madison Co., NC.
