Hickman Hensley, 1759
Hickman Hensley married Agnes Fisher.
If he married (2) to his-niece-inlaw, Elizabeth Rentfro this occurred after 1815 Hickman Co., TN.Personally, I think Agnes Hensley died (aft. 1800 birth) and Hickman Hensley, died after the purchase of this Bible, (d. aft. 1815-bef. 1820 Hickman Co., TN) perhaps Hickman Hensley was residing in this household in 1815 at the time of purchase, and gave it to Elizabeth for her family records.In honor of the gift, she recorded her Uncle's information.
It also has been assumed that Hickman Hensley, is the older male in Elizabeth Rentfro's household of 1820.Could be he was a widower in the household.As was Elizabeth, a widow, since she is listed as head of the household.

---------------------
I have been going through some documents and found some interesting items.
1820*Census Records, Hickman Co., TN, pg. (b. bef. 1775)
Elizabeth Renfro, head of Household (321101-00001-9-2)
The Bible Records: Well we know that Elizabeth is Hickman Hensley's, niece-in-law... No marriage records are given in this Bible, and the next great clue is that the first reference to children is that Jesse is the SON OF ELIZABETH (this does't say son of Hickman and Elizabeth)... Hickman and Agnes are listed in 1800 Buncombe Co., NC, married and still having children, as was John Rentfro, residing in Buncombe (parents of Elizabeth).
Elesebanth Rentfro daughter of John Rentfro and Elesebanth Rentfro was born August the 16th, 1774 (*) Hickman Hensley son of Benjamon and Elesebanth Hensley was born April the 15th, 1759
(*) Elesebanth Rentfro daughter of John Rentfro and Elesebanth Rentfro was born August the 16th 1774
(*) Jesse Rentfro son of Elesebanth Rentfro was born January 19/29,1794
