Hello Judy,

I hope you don't mind my switching to the public forum. How else are folks going to learn what we are looking for unless we tell them?

I think we must be looking at the same Samuel Hensley, Sr. I have him as being b. March 17, 1752 in Albemarle Co., Va. and d. January 1, 1831 in Pendleton Co., Kentucky. He m. (1st) Sibba (how often do you see a woman named Sibba?) Unknown (you have her as a Halen) about 1783 (you have 1776). The only record I have on Sibba is the 1810 Census of Albemarle Co. where she is listed as head of household with three females and two males; one under 10 years and one 10 to 16 years old. That doesn't square with the birth dates of the two males I have recorded as being her sons??
Joseph N. Hensley,b. 1784, Albemarle Co., Va.: d. bet. 1825-1830
George Washington Hensley, b. 1788, Virginia; d. bet. 1850-1860; m. Ruth VanBiber, May 20 1813.
{I have nothing on a Solomon Hensley. Doesn't mean there wasn't one tho}

The children of Samuel Hensley and Mary Leak were: Malinda, b. April 27, 1815, Pendleton Co., Ky./d. bet. 1825-1830; Mary , b. October 2 1815, PCoKy./d.September 19, 1905, PCoKy.; David, b. August 19, 1818; Richard, b. September 9, 1821/d. December 9, 1880; John James, b. August 26, 1822; Zachariah, b. February 21, 1828; Benjamin S. Hensley, b. October 28, 1809 in Virginia/d. 1865.

All of this information comes from the work of Wanda Stith Hagen in her two volume set, "The Stith Family in Virginia and "The Stith Family in Kentucky" personally published 1994. The specific pages are 224 thru 240 of Vol. II, "The Stith Family of Kentucky".

I received a letter from Wanda Stith Hagen dated October 18, 1996 telling me of her new address: 19802 North 32nd Street #159, Phoenix, Arizona 85024-3546 Ph: 602-569-3993. I don't know if she is still active or not.
