Harmon Hensley, b:1780, in TN. Harmon married Elizabeth (Betsy),
(unknown last name), and their first 8 children were born in
Williamson Co., then Maury Co., TN. (Maury county was formed
from Williamson Co. about 1808 or 1809). It has been reported
that Harmon’s first five children were born in or close to a
town known as Rountree Mill, but I haven’t been able to find any
information regarding this town or settlement.
These first five children are:
William, b: 1799, James, b: 1801, John Motley, b: 1806, Johnson,
b: 1807, and Sarah (Sallie), b: 1809.
The next three children, born in Maury Co. (Possibly the same
location as the first five children), are: Charles, b: 1811,
Andrew Jackson, b: 1816, and Mary, b: 1818.
Harmon and Betsy’s last child, Margaret, was born in Illinois,
in 1820.
The next record we have of Harmon was on the 1830 census for
Texas, where he was listed as a farmer, from Arkansas.
Harmon was preceded in Texas by three of his sons, the first
record we have indicates James was in Texas in 1816.
I have a lot of information on Harmon’s descendants, and their
branches from Texas, but so far have been unable to document any
information on his siblings, or parents. They have a very rich
history in Texas, including some genuine early Texas heros.
Maybe you have some information that will connect???
