Notes - !NOTES:For years, I and others have tried to put Elijah Hensley in the family of widow Catherine (---) Hensley since her children and he all lived in the same region. However, based on his own information (per marriage record) that he was born in Hawkins Co., TN, it seems he isn't part of their immediate family, though probably related in some way as most Hensleys are.
