Hi, Pat. I do not have anything to help you with the below. But I am
on the KyMont mail list because of my Hensley and Webb family lines. My
brick wall is Nancy Webb who marries Bird Hensley in Clay county,
Illinois in 1829. I know that Nancy was born in Ky and is the daughter
of William and Nancy WEbb. I find a marriage in 1794 between William
Webb and Nancy Smith in Bourbon county. I have a gr-aunt who stated at
one time that her Webb family was from Mt. Sterling. I have no reason
at this time to think that the marriage is my ancestors....but I do keep
looking at it as a possibility. Interestingly enough, William and Nancy
Hensley name their second born, Lucinda. She is born in 1830 in Clay
County, Illinois. The other piece of family lore that has been passed
down is that My Hensley family was originally from Albemarle County.

I suspect that when I am able to tear down my brick wall, I will find my
Hensleys descended from the Hensley family I find in the early 1700's in
Albemarle who then move into the area that I keep looking for a good
name for: southwestern VA, southeastern KY, northeastern TN, and north
western NC.....basically the area that if you place a quarter on the
boundary of VA, WV and Ky now and draw around it.....well you get the
idea....from there I suspect that they moved up into eastern Ky and
western WV and then further west to Illinois....

Just thought that I would say hi and hope that perhaps some chatting
about these people could lead to cracks in the wall for both of
us...Marsha in WV
