Biography

Benjamin Hensley was born in 1837 in Tennessee, USA. It is uncertain if he was the son of Lemmuel Hensley and Mary Brewer, as Lemuel died in 1840.[1] If in fact he was in Wayne County, Tennessee, in 1850, then he and his siblings were either orphaned or his mother was Persanna (Mary) and she re-married to Samuel Bromley.[2]

Benjamin could also have been the son of Samuel and Nancy Hensley.[3]

He married first to Mary P. (Dean) Hensley (1851-1872).[4] And, they had two children: Lavada (Hensley) Arnold (1870-1893) and Martha Melissa Hensley Poe.[5]

In 1880, Benjamin lived with his second wife, Mary, and his children in Marshall, Searcy County, Arkansas.[6]

He passed away in 1921.[7] [8]
