Notice

Any attempt to connect this profile to parents in England is incorrect.

It is suspected her father was Benjamin Hensley, based on DNA matches to descendants and the fact he was Cherokee.

AncestryDNA through their ThruLines made this connection.

Marty Grant at his website shows the Hensley family moving from Virginia to Rowan Co NC then to Surry Co NC and then to Stokes County.

Mary was likely in Surry County when she met and married John Parker.
