    • (DJS) After twenty years, I have never seen anyone cite and actual civil record of this divorce so it would be wise to treat this event as suspect. I have not personally had the opportunity to review court or church documents from the area for this information.

  • Notes 
    • It would appear that, possibly, Margaret was married several times.

      First to John B Hensley
      Second to someone by the name of BOWMAN
      Third to someone with the name WITNEY or WHITNEY


      This is based upon children of John B Hensley & Margaret Back-Hensley as listed in the book, "A Back Family History" by Custer Back, Kenneth Back, Troy Back & Dexter Dixon. Further analysis by observing Census records. In the Jackson area of Breathitt County, 1900 is (spelled as shown on Ancestry.com's Index):

      Margarett Witney 36
      John W Hensley 13
      Demey Hensley 11
      Cora Bowman 7
      Lonzo Bowman 1
      The Bowman children are listed as Daughter and Son of Margaret.

      The house immediately preceding this one, is that of Solomon Back and Harrison Back which, if I am correct in my observations, are the father and the brother of Margaret.
