Hi Tom
The only one of your three stand-alone sentences that strikes me as a good usage of "hence" is the third one. Maybe additional context would help the other two.
You can use "hence" to mean "that is the reason for ________".
The word "hence" very often introduces a sentence/clause/phrase:
- I had been traveling the whole day. Hence the fatigue.
