The Hensleigh Family of Wembury
Edward Hensleigh (1630-1684) is the first verifiable ancestor of the Hensleigh family. He was born in Wembury, County Cornwall which is along the border County Devon. He married Elizabeth Pennye and they were the parents of at least three children. The Hensleigh family married into the Prideaux family in the early 1800s.
