      !NOTES:Suzanne Baird theorizes that Benjamin (d 1788) and my ancestor, William Hensley (d 1807) might be siblings. This is based on proximity of her line in Albemarle and mine in Buckingham. Several of hers moved into Buckingham for awhile, though after mine left.
      DNA testing shows that her line and mine are closer matches than with other Hensleys, so this may be correct.
