Descendants of Benjamin Hensley
Generation No. 1
1. Benjamin1 Hensley was born EST 1762. He married Susannah Unknown.
Notes for Benjamin Hensley:
This info through Fretwell was obtained from a xerox lineage chart I received from someone. Unfortunately I can't remember who sent it to me and the person didn't know where it originated at.
Served in Rev War. Susannah's name could be Goolsby or Fretwell? Susann may have remarried after Benjamin's death to John Ball.
On Jan 17 1788 Benjamin and Susann sold to Samuel Hensley land on north fork of Greene Creek. Land was surveyed by James Lulard as 147 acres. Witnesses were William Hensley, William Shoemaker, and William Milton.
Also, on Oct 7 1789, William and Samuel Hensley sold 98 acres on both sides of Green Creek (survey 1756?)

Hello David
My name is Douglas (Doug) Locke Hensley. I recently received a copy from my
mother of the family tree as compiled by my fathers 2nd cousin Clyde Hensley.
It appears the connection we share is through the marriage of Fretwell Goolsby Hensley and
Edicie McCallister, thank goodness the Fretwell name was not continued. The
information from Clyde shows a Benjamin Hensley who was married to Susannah.
Benjamin died about 1788, no info on Susannah. I show that Benjamin had the
following children, John, William, Lewis, Clifford, Samuel and Jenny. I also
have vague info on Benjamin's father being Samuel Hensley.
Doug
