Joseph Hensley (c1826) and Virginia --- of TN and Newton Co, AR


[Commentary] [Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home]


I (Marty Grant) am not related to Joseph Hensley as far as I know.

Joseph Hensley was born ca 1825/26 (per 1850 census) in Tennessee (per 1850 census), county unknown.

I don't know who Joseph Hensley's parents are, but I'd bet he is a brother to William Hensley (c1818 TN) who was just a couple of pages away from him in 1850. They were both born in Tennessee, and close enough in age. They may not be brothers, but it seems a reasonable guess that they could be.

Joseph Hensley would have been about 4 years old by the 1830 census. He should be enumerated in the age "under 5" category (born ca 1825/30). He was probably still in Tennessee that year with his parents, but I don't know where.

For the 1840 census, Joseph would have been about 14 years old, so should be enumerated in the age 10-14 category (born ca 1825/30), but I don't know where his family was at that time, whether still in Tennessee, or in Arkansas.

Joseph Hensley married Virginia --- sometime before ca 1848, either in Tennessee, or in Newton County, Arkansas. Virginia was born ca 1819/20 in Tennessee. I don't know her maiden name. There were some young Keith children with them in 1850, who could be her children, if from a previous marriage.

In 1850, Joseph and family were in Newton County, Arkansas in Jackson District. Possible brother William Hensley was 2 pages away.

I did not find them on the 1860 census, so I don't know where they might have moved to.


Children

Joseph and Virginia had 2 children per the 1850 census, and it is possible that Virginia had children from a previous marriage. I have no additional data on any of them at present.
