Hinson. James originally came from MD or England through SC and he is buried in Hazelhurst, GA. Thomas Jefferson Hinson went to Florida to fight in the Seminole Wars and received a land grant in Lake Co. Florida. His descendents settled in Clay Co. Florida. I have a copy of his pension request that describes him as having black hair, blue eyes and 6 ft 11 inches tall (yes...6'11''). Send me some names you are looking for and I will try and help. John Holland.
