BA, Have you asked Samford University in Birmingham if they have anything on your Rev. John Hinton? They have the "Alabama Baptist Newspapers" and various Baptist church minutes. I do not know if it will help, but my husband's g.g. grandfather, Rev. Isaac M. Hicks suffered a stroke while preaching a revival at the Sardis Baptist Church ca. 1886. His family was from 1770's Randolph County, NC, present day Jasper county, GA 1808-1818. I received info. from the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., 1700 Baptist World Center Drive, Nashville, TN 37207 on a Texas Baptist preacher (1910). You might write them and ask if they have an info. I would also google his name-"Rev. John Hinton" as one never knows what will turn up.
