Claudie Belle Hensley

Claudie Belle Hensley was my maternal grandmother. I knew both my great-grandparents, and I am the "Living Relative" cited in the sources list.

I'd like to find more information about the Tuck family line that settled in North Central Texas. Once again, it is incredibly difficult to trace a maternal line, so I don't have nearly as much information here.
