RESEARCH NOTES:
- her husband Squire Hensley was previously married with children, and in 1900 he was married to someone else again (Catherine) - assume she died before 1897 when he married Catherine, but could have divorced I guess. The 1900 census said he was married in 1875! and all the children were listed with Catherine as mother - not all as it should be I think!
- can’t find a death record for her in KY
On 11 Apr 1871 when Alabama was 19, she married Squire HENSLEY in Clay County, Kentucky, USA. Born in Dec 1834 in North Carolina, USA. Squire died in Clay County, Kentucky, USA, on 12 Jul 1917; he was 82.
