Research Notes

-- Moving profiles to match the dedicated research of Marty Grant: [1]
Ann Hensley (1757 - bef. 1860) of Madison, VA, may/may not have been researched, but there is no documented circumstantial evidence that she was the daughter of William.
-- Death: Question: Why would he return to Buckingham County, Virginia, USA, in 1804, when a child was born in Washington County, Virginia?

Hensley-3115 and Hensley-1524 are not ready to be merged because: These profiles likely represent the same William Hensley who resided in Buckingham Co., VA per the attached children and diligent research of Marty Grant, Suzanne Baird, Laura Schreibman, and several others. The assigned middle name Samuel likely coming from the unsourced and unfortunately published book wherefrom many unsupported or fictitious connections have been derived. The inventory of the personal estate of his suspected father William Hensley dated 17 March 1777 is here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89PD-T35G?i=370&cat=418537 Culpeper Will Book C, p. 203.
