Joy, we have also been searching for the Test family.Mary Bernice Test married Andrew Jackson Rhodes, (my husband' great-grandparents)onJanuary 1870 in Arkansas.Her parents were John Test and Esther Caroline Hensley.Esther'sfather was Benjamin Hensley, b in 1790 in Georgia and died in Mt. Pleasant, Titus County, Texas.
One of the best documented sources of the Test family is the 1860 Ouachita County, Arkansas, Caney township, page 218 for John Test, 40, b. Ohio; Ester, age 30, b. TN, children Benjamin, Bernice, John and Caroline. You may want to follow through on Benjamin, John and Caroline.Next door were Esther's parents, John and Cassey Hensley.
Maybe this will give you some leads for your family.Wanda
