I read your research on Henslee-Hensleigh and thought I'd send you this. It may not help but one never knows. I've been searching for years, too. Also, the name Hensleigh, in its original meaning is "Those who live in the deep wood where wild birds roost". I'm trying to make a valid connection with Maxfield Henslee, b. about 1725 with unknown father and/or Wm. Henslee, b. 1588 England, came to US in 1622 with 3 sons.
