I (Marty Grant) am not related to William Hensley as far as I know.
William Hensley was born ca 1784/85 (per 1850 census) or ca 1782/83 (per 1860 census) in North Carolina, presumably in that part of Burke County that later became Buncombe County (in 1791) and later became Yancey County (in 1833).
William Hensley is a son of Hickman Hensley (c1759) and Agness Fisher. I have not seen direct proof of this relationship, but it fits based on circumstantial evidence. In Goodspeed's History of Tennessee (1887) he mentioned the early settlers of Lewis County, Tennessee including: "Larkin Hensley and his brothers (William, Samuel and James)". Since Larkin is a proven child of Hickman, that would make William a child of Hickman also. However, Goodspeed is not a primary source, so it can't be counted as conclusive evidence, however, it is certainly believable based on other evidence, such as the close proximity between Larkin and William (and the others brothers) in Tennessee. This isn't conclusive proof, but it seems reasonable that William is a son of Hickman. I'd love to see some primary evidence though.
William Hensley was probably home with his parents for the 1790 census. He would have been about 5 years old, so in the "under 16" age group (born ca 1774/90). Hickman Hensley had 4 apparent sons that age with him in Burke County in 1790.
William should have been home in 1800 as well. He would have been about 15 years old, so should be enumerated in the 10-15 age group (born ca 1784/90). Hickman was in Buncombe Co, NC that year and had two apparent sons in that age group, one of them possibly William.
Hickman and his children (including William) all moved to what is now Lewis County, Tennessee around 1808. At that time the area was still part of Maury County.
I don't know if William married in North Carolina before moving west, or if he married after arriving in Tennessee. However, he married Nancy Gardner sometime prior to ca 1810. Nancy was born ca 1782/83 in Virginia, county unknown. I don't know what the source is for her maiden being "Gardner". It may be incorrect, or perhaps it is right, but I'd like to have a good source for it.
Based on the birth places of some of William's older children, it would appear that they moved around a little bit, or at least traveled some. Suspected son John G. Hensley was born ca 1807 in Virginia and daughter Nancy was born ca 1812 in North Carolina. Son James was born between those two ca 1810 in Tennessee. If all three of these are indeed children of William (I'm 100% sure on Nancy, 99% sure on James, and about 60% sure on John G.), then William Hensley and family left North Carolina in the 1800-1807 timeframe for a brief stay in Virginia, perhaps Washington County, then to present Lewis County, Tennessee by 1810, then a brief trip back to North Carolina ca 1812, then back to Tennessee by 1813. Of course, it might only have been Nancy who was travelling around, visiting relatives or such.
I suspect that William Hensley would have been listed on the 1810 census in Maury County, Tennessee, but unfortunately this census was lost for 99% of Tennessee.
William Hensley was listed on the 1820 census in Maury County, in fact, the only Hensley in the county that year.

In 1843, Lewis County was created from portions of several counties, including Maury County where William Hensley lived.
William and Nancy were listed on the 1850 census in Lewis County, Tennessee residing with their son Abel T. Hensley (1822) and his wife.

Nancy died between 1860 and 1870, presumably in Lewis County.
William Hensley was listed on the 1870 census in Lewis County with his daughter Nancy Hensley Sharp and her family.

William Hensley died after 1870, presumably in Lewis County, Tennessee.
William and Nancy had several children per the various census records. Not all are identified yet.
Unknown Son (1804/10). William Hensley had an apparent son this age. He was with him in 1820 (age 10-15, born ca 1804/10), but gone by 1830, so probably married or dead by then.
I don't know who this is, but it could be John G. Hensley (c1807) who was next door to William in 1860. He could very easily be this unknown son. His age matches, he married in 1829, so that works, and he was a neighbor to William, so it all fits, except that John G. Hensley was born in Virginia (per 1850 and 1870 census). Since he was born about the time William migrated from North Carolina to Tennessee, it is entirely possible that William made a brief stay in Virginia before going to Tennessee. Just a theory though.
If this child is not John G. Hensley, then I have no other suspects.
Unknown Son (1804/10). William Hensley had an apparent son this age. He was with him in 1820 (age 10-15, born ca 1804/10), and still home in 1830 (age 20-29, born ca 1800/10), but gone by 1840, so probably married or dead by then.
I feel fairly strongly that this unknown son is actually James Hensley (c1810), who was a neighbor to William, and who fits age-wise and in other ways. See his page for more information on why I connect him to William.
Nancy Hensley was born ca 1811/12 in North Carolina (per 1850 and 1880 census) or in Tennessee (per 1870 census). She was apparently home with her parents in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20).
There is a marriage record in Maury County dated 11 Apr 1828 for Nancy Hensley and John Sharp. John M. Sharp was born ca 1805/06 in Tennessee. I don't know who his parents are.
There were two John Sharp's listed on the 1830 census, both very close to William Hensley, one was too old, but the other one was just the right age, and was about 5 houses away from William Hensley.

I don't have them in 1840 yet, but I suppose they were in Maury County.
In 1850, John and Nancy were in Lewis County, near several Hensleys as previously mentioned.

They were still in Lewis County for the 1880 census, in Palestine Township. This census shows Nancy born in North Carolina, with her father also born there and mother born in Virginia. Her parents birth places are an exact match for William and Nancy. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
William G. Hensley was born 18 Nov 1813 in Maury (now Lewis) Co, TN. William is a proven child of William and Nancy (his obituary). See his own page for additional information.
Unknown Daughter (1810/20). William Hensley had an apparent daughter this age. She was with him in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20). She was gone by 1830, so probably married or dead by then.
I don't know who this daughter was.
Unknown Daughter (1810/15). William Hensley had an apparent daughter this age. She was with him in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20). She was still home in 1830 (age 15-19, born ca 1810/15). She was gone by 1840, so probably married or dead by then.
There is a marriage in 1836 for George F. Sharp and Elizabeth Hensley, but she was born ca 1818, so her age is off slightly, however, since I only have the 1850 record for Elizabeth's age, it could be incorrect. However, there is one other female Hensley who fits a little bit better.
Somewhere along the line, another researcher has given me the name Agness Hensley as a daughter of William and Nancy. Agness was born ca 1815/16 (so that is closer in age to this unknown daughter). Agness was the wife of William A. Sharp, married before ca 1834, so that fits. I did not find a marriage record for them, but I found proof that Agness is a "Hensley" based on the death certificates of one of her children.
Agness was next door to supposed brother Abel T. Hensley (1822) in 1850, and she named one of her children "Enoch", probably after brother Enoch H. Hensley (1822), so that makes her a better fit into this family than Elizabeth Hensley Sharp.
So, on the assumption that Agness does belong here, I'll give her information as follows. She was born ca 1815/16 in Tennessee, presumably in Maury (now Lewis) County. She was apparently home with her parents for the 1820 and 1830 census.
She married William A. Sharp before ca 1834 in Maury (now Lewis) Co, TN. William was born ca 1813/14 in Tennessee. I don't know who his parents were.
I don't have them on the 1840 census yet.
In 1850, they were next door to Abel T. Hensley in Lewis County, TN.

Agness died sometime between ca 1857 and 1860, for William was an apparent widower for the 1860 census. He was listed in Lewis Co, TN.

William married his late wife's niece, Mary C. Hensley sometime between 1860 and 1862. See the James Hensley (c1810) page for more on them.
Abel T. Hensley was born 19 Jan 1822 in Maury (now Lewis) Co, TN. William and Nancy were living with him for the 1850 census. Abel was a twin to Enoch H. Hensley. See his own page for additional information.
Enoch H. Hensley was born 19 Jan 1822 in Maury (now Lewis) Co, TN. William and Nancy were living with him for the 1850 census. Abel was a twin to Enoch H. Hensley. See his own page for additional information.

I don't know who this daughter might be. I did not find any marriage record other than Elizabeth Hensley (c1818), who married in the 1830's in Maury Co, TN. It is possible that this could be Elizabeth, if her birth is off slightly on one of these census records.

I don't know who this might be.
