Hensley-1558 and Hensley-350 appear to represent the same person because: same spouse, states and death.

James Henley, born 1730, is not the grandfather of Samuel Grandison Hensley, born 1769. His father should be removed as a son of this James and correct the date of birth, since it must be before 1769 and is currently set as 1778 (after the birth of his son)
