I believe Sarah was a d/o Benjamin Hensley born before 1755 probably in VA.
Benjamin was in the 1786, 1790, 1800 and 1810 Burke Co, NC census and had a female age under 10 (1790-1800) in the 1800 census and a female age 10-15 (1795-1800) in the 1810 census.
Francis Bedicks/Biddix and his family were in the 1820, 1830 and 1840 Burke Co, NC census and the 1850 and 1860 McDowell Co, NC census.
Francis and Sarah were probably married about 1815 as their oldest child was born about 1816/1817.
in the 1850 census, Francis is age 59 (1791) and Sarah is age 55 (1795).
Benjamin Hensley and Francis Biddix were in the North Fork, Turkey Cove area of Burke/McDowell Co, NC.
This Benjamin was the probable father of Benjamin, Amos and Obadiah Hensley of Burke/McDowell Co, NC.
Let me know what you think,
