Notes for William (Spouse 1)
The Hengsteleg, Henxelegh, Hensleigh name has been found in Devonshire England records dating to 1200 A.D., but regardless of the many spellings the standard spelling of Hensley has become more acceptable.

Hensleys lived in Devon Village, located near Tiverton, England in the Seele Manor called Hensleigh House which still stands. Walts de Hensleigh, was master of the house in Ad 1350.
