    I have 73 Nancy Hensleys in my family tree. If you can give me a little more info. They have birth dates from 1773 to 1960.

    I’d like to help if I can.

    There are many rumors about Hensley women who married men with or of Cherokee heritage.

    Best Regards,

    Frank “Franco” Hensley

    Hi, my name is Jenna. My grandfather is John Parker, His mother was Mary Livine Cole and his grandmother was Nancy Hensley-Cole and John Cole. Do any of those names sound familiar? If so, there is Cherokee in the blood. Absolutely. I am 1/16 Cherokee. My grandfather, J.b. is 1/4. June would have been my grandfather’s Aunt I believe.

    Thanks. I cannot find the connection. My paternal great grandmother was Nancy Hensley who was born 2/18/1885 in Harlan Ky (Martin’s Fork) She married john Cole. Can you tell me the bloodline story. I can’t find the definite proof. There was a rumor that Nancy was adopted by Calvin and arminta “Minnie” Hensley. Have you heard that
