I (Marty Grant) am not related to Sarah A. Hensley as far as I know.
Sarah A. Hensley was born ca 1842/43 in Yancey Co, NC.
I have no clues at present as to who Sarah's parents might have been. In the 1850 census she was living with the John Edwards (c1800) and Martha Edwards (c1804) family. All of John and Martha's children were younger than Sarah A. Hensley, so it is possible that Martha was previously married to a Hensley, and Sarah was her daughter from that marriage.
In 1850, Sarah and the Edwards family were in Yancey Co, NC, only two pages from Wallace Hensley and Jackson Hensley, so perhaps closely related to them.

I have no additional data on this family at present. I didn't find Sarah on the 1860 census, but she certainly could have married between 1850 and 1860 (or died). There was a Sarah A. Hensley, age 18, in 1860 Yancey, but that was Sarah A. E. Hensley, a child of Alfred Briggs and Miriam Hensley, clearly a different person. There was a marriage between a Sarah Hensley and John Bailey in Yancey Co, NC dated 10 Jan 1856. I haven't followed up with them to see if this is the same Sarah or not. There was an "Ezekial Bailey" with Sarah in 1850, so perhaps that is a connection.
At present, I have no additional data on Sarah Hensley, including who, if anyone, she married (unless it was John Bailey in 1856).
