Hi: This is a message from Sept. 2000. There are no Hinds names EXCEPT for the William Hinds that is answering a message on the Killion-L list. BUT since these are his family - I thought I would send it along for our Hinds-L archives. So, don't read the three messages below unless you have one of these names: Killion, Gossett, Ponds, Coleman, Dunn, or Roseberry. The locations mentioned are Orange Co. NC, Surry Co. NC, Roane TN, Knox Co. KY, Whitley Co. KY. Regards, Nan [email protected] -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: "William L.

The way I have it in my data base is that the bondsman for that marriage was Leroy Gossett. That may be in error; I have not been able to locate the source of my entry into my data base. Another researcher has that marriage as between Leroy Gossett and Polly Ponds, with William Killion being the bondsman. At the time, 1805, William Killion would have bee 37 years old. Someone has commented that we know he had 8 children by Alyce Coleman, whom he married at age 42. He may have had a dozen or more by his first wife! Who knows? I've never been able to identify any of them, although there are possibilities. Bill Hinds -----Original Message----- From: William L. Hinds [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: William Killion Bobby: No will nor birth record that I am aware of. Michael Killion is the only Killion in the Orange Co, NC area that would ahve been old enough to have a son born in 1768. I haven't discovered anyone. Michael supposedly died in the Revolutionary War. He had a son, John, who was old enough to serve with him in the war. I believe that John is the John Killion who died in Surry Co, NC about 1816. Now, as to William. If you research in NC and TN you will discover that Drury Dunn of the SC Dunn's purchased property with William Killion in both NC and TN. I have not discovered Drury Dunn on the 1850 census, but in researching William several years ago, a Clarence Killion of Kentucky gave me a great deal of information. He thought William might be a descendant of Andreas. In the process of evaluating all the information, the best anyone has ever been able to come up with is that Drury Dunn was the husband of a daughter of William Killion. She would have had to have been born not later than about 1790 to have been old enough to marry Drury Dunn before their NC land transactions around 1808. Don't remember exact date. While this isn't definitive proof, it at least is circumstantial evidence that merits strong consideration.

I've been looking for the parents of Wilborn Killion b.c1805 NC m. Jemima Roseberry 1825 Surry Co NC and is listed on 1830 census there. I found William early in my search but dismissed him as a parent when I read of Wm's marriage and move to Tennessee, at a time when Wilborn was just a boy. However, I have been convinced they were related since I found Wilborn and family moved to Knox and Whitley Co KY and living next door to them was Walter Killion(s/o John), and later in Whitley John's brother Andrew and wife Sammirah were living in same neighborhood. You relate that wife Polly Ponds was too young to be mother of Wm's unknown daughter; you must have documents of their ages. Would you kindly send this information and sources, also I would be interested in the name of daughters husband. One more request. You seem certain that Michael is William's father. Is there a will, or birth record? Do you have the name of Wm's mother? Thank you so very much for anything you can provide. This could be so important. Bobbie Miller >From: "William L.

Hi: I spotted this while using the Lawrence Co. USGenWeb page that has a search feature. This is probably my ancestor John HInds, father of David Hinds. Both left Lawrence Co. for Crawford Co. AR around 1830/31. John Hinds was a territorial legislator representing Lawrence Co. in the 1825 AR Territorial Legislature. I capitalized the name of John Hinds in the article below concerning the ownership of slaves in early Lawrence Co. Regards, Nan [email protected] ----------------------- Found online at the Randolph Co. USGenWeb Homepage: - the entire text of HISTORY of RANDOLPH COUNTY ARKANSAS by Lawrence Dalton Published 1946 - 1947 Page 134 of Dalton's History of Randolph Co. "Anyway, the negro was at one time a very valuable piece of property. He was looked upon in the same light as a horse [134] or cow. The plantation owner felt that dire calamity Stalked his door any time his slaves were taken from him. Financial and social standing was measured according to the number of slaves the planter owned during the first half of the nine-teenth century. Slave ownership was general. Practically every man of means, and especially those who did farming extensively, owned one to twenty slaves of different ages. When the issue was attacked from a moral standpoint, some few liberated their negroes. Some who had slaves considered it a "necessary evil," but with most owners little thought was given to this angle. A few folks today, in speaking of their ancestors, are inclined to leave the impression that "my grandfather was not a-slaveowner," but we find that most of them were. By checking the early records we find that most of the early preachers were slaveholders. In fact, we find recorded where Eli Lindsey, who was one of the first "circuit riders" of Arkansas, owned slaves while residing in Randolph County. On page 383 of the old record book "B" of old Lawrence County is recorded a transaction wherein Benjamin Williams sold to Eli Lindsey "One negro woman named Penny, one negro boy named Tom, one negro boy named Frank, and a negro girl named Mary." This was September 10, 1822. Lindsey afterwards sold these slaves to JOHN HINDS. Practically all of the civilized world today is free of slavery. We are all glad that this problem is settled and that the practice has been abolished for all time. Yet during that colorful era, when slavery flourished, we find that it was practiced and generally accepted by the peoples of the entire civilized world."

Hi: I do not know where I found these two newspaper abstracts - probably from Ancestry.com Note: The Davis Hinds in the first abstract is actually DAVID Hinds - my direct ancestor. So the two abstracts below are actually of the same person - David Hinds, son of John & Esther Hinds. John died in Van Buren, AR in 1838. Esther re-married to a Jonathan Eppler and was head of house as Easther Eppler in the 1850 census with David's four older children (Edward, John, Margaret "Elizabeth" & Archie) in the home with her. David's wife, Margaret Mattix, had re-married to a Rev. John Autry - and had her two youngest (Cynthia & Mary) with her in the Autry household in 1850. Two of David's children (Edward & Archibald Yell) left for Tulare Co. CA in 1852-53. They traveled with a former slave with the same last name - Wiley Hinds. If any of Wiley's descendants read this message - PULEEZE get in touch with me - address below my signature. Wiley and my great-grandfather, Archibald Yell Hinds remained friends to the end of Archibald's life. Archibald would take his granddaughter by wagon to visit "Uncle Wiley" after church. "Uncle Wiley" came to the house to express his condolences upon Archibald's death. I would LOVE to know Grandmother Esther HInds Eppler's maiden name. She is not in the 1860 census of Crawford Co. AR. She is not in any of the newspaper obits. She was a slave holder of 14 slaves in 1840 and had three in 1850. I'm considering that she went with other Crawford Co. people to TX where southern sympathizers were accepted during the Civil War since Union forces took control of the county during the war. Her daughter-in-law, Margaret Mattix Hinds Autry died in Cook Co. TX. From a researcher: "Margaret Elizabeth HINDS BASHAM LEDFORD's Mother, Margaret Ann Mattix md Dr John C AUTRY Feb 22 1827.

Hi: I believe we have had this story before on this list but it doesn't hurt to tell it again. This is from Clif Hinds' misc. file. Regards, Nan [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Two Letters from a Civil War Prisoner of War courtesy of LDS Microfilm at the LDS Family History Center at Salt Lake City, UT. c/o P. Anthony Fazzini. "The Tragic Story of Thomas J. HINDS. Introduction: by P. Anthony Fazzini? The following typewritten copies of copies of civil war letters were found by me months ago at a relative's house. How they came to be there I have not yet discovered: the persons mentioned in these letters are, I regret to say, not relatives. Except for the adding of a small piece of editing ("sic") and rearrangement of the first two letters in proper order, they are presented as found by me. I also regret to say that I have not found either a picture of Hinds or the original letters themselves. Thomas J. Hinds, according to his military record was born in Dresden, Ohio, on August 9, 1862, aged 24, and by occupation, a farmer. He enlisted in the Union Army at Whiteford, Monroe Cou., Michigan for three years, and became a corporal in "K" Company of the 18th Michigan Infantry Regiment. On January 1, 1864, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. On September 24, 1864, Hinds was captured at Athens, Ala., by forces under the rebel Gen. Forrest's command. After being imprisoned at Cahaba P.O.W. camp, Hinds was paroled on March 22, 1865 at Vicksburg, Miss. Vixburg, Miss, March 25, 1865. My Dear Father and Mother As I have an opportunity of writing to you this morning I will improve it. I got a pass this morning to come to town and am now writing form the Christian Room it is good thing for they furnish paper and stamps for all we wish to write. This is the first time that I have had a sight of this great Mississippi River. It is the greatest wonder how Grant took this place for it is one fortress. We have a nice camp now. We have the shelter tents. We have plenty to eat but have not drawn any clothing yet but will in a few days. There is no talk of us getting exchanged soon. We are only paroled as yet and how soon we will get home or to our regiment. I am not able to say but I hope soon for I am tired of this kind of life. We are under the charge of the Rebel army yet. Lieut. Colonel Henderson from the Rebel army is in charge of us. We can not come to town without his consent. It is hard and in sight of our own flag but maybe it is fair. The reason of the Rebs fetching us here is they could not feed us any more. They are the nearest played out of anything I have seen lately. They are worse than my old shoes and they are good for nothing. I am in hope to see you all if I can get my pays. I shall have now 10 months at dollars besides $50 dollars for clothing. Our time is out in five months from tomorrow the 26th. It will not be long to wait, if I can not come sooner. I have no more at this time, but will write some again . from your son. Thomas J. Hinds copied from LDS microfilm. Vixburg Miss. April 14, 1864(sic) (had to be 1865 - clif) Dear friends at home, once more I will take this opportunity to write to you a few lines on my birthday. I am 27 today. We have had glorious news of late. There is to be a big doing today. There is to be a Salute of 200 guns fired with speaking military parades and company. I have charge of a ward of 40 men. They are all sick from Andersonville, GA. I never saw a poorer lot of men in my life as they were, but most of them are doing well now. There is but three or four, but what can wait on themselves. We have lost one from our ward. He died the next morning after he came in. Their disease is mostly scurvy and diarrhea. Their is talk of our being sent North soon. I hope it may be so. The talk is here the war is played out and we will all go home soon. Lee and Johnston has surrendered their armies and they are coming in here now everyday by the wholesale. I was out to camp the other day. The boys are doing well. There is about 8000 of us here in the vicinity now. I have not heard from home yet. If you write direct to Parole Prison Hospital Ward I Hank Rouge is at the City Hospital nursing the sick boys. I have a lot of Pumpkin Seeds I got at Cahaba. I want to send to you but do not know how to send them. I hate to send them in a letter. They are large pumpkins, the nicest I ever saw. We had nothing but them to eat for two or three weeks last fall. I have not got time to write more now for the doctor has just come and I will have my hands full for a while. So goodbye for this time.. from your Son and Brother. Thomas J. Hinds Copied from the LDS Microfilm Postscript on Letter Written by Thomas J. Hinds From Vixburg, Miss. March 25, 1865 Thomas J. Hinds, who was prisoner of war at Andersonville Prison during the Civil War, was an exchanged prisoner and was supposed to sail on a ship ahead of the "SULTANA;" but he traded places with a friend from his Company who was married, and allowed him to go in his place. Thomas Hinds then sailed on the Sultana which departed on April 27, 1865. The Steamboat Sultana, with exchanged Union prisoners of war aboard, was destroyed on the Mississippi River, seven miles above Memphis by a boiler explosion with the loss of 1,450 men. All records were lost and his fate was unknown until around 1888, when George A. Hinds, brother of Thomas Hinds, lived on Presque Isle at the mouth of the Maume Bay. He heard a cry during the night from the marshlands and went out and found a Frenchman who was lost. He brought him home and during the course of the conversation, the Frenchman learned that George's name was Hinds and he related to George that he was in Tom's company and was on the Sultana with him. They were on the boat by the rail talking when Tom god chilled and went down inside the ship. Then the explosion occurred and the Frenchman was thrown into the water and was rescued while Tom was killed. As told by Harry T. Hinds, son of George A. Hinds and written by Virginia Hinds Greene, daughter of Harry T. Hinds

Hi: An explanation of the Homestead Act of 1862 etc. can be found below. The fellow who posted this can provide photocopies of the homestead documents and other land patent records of your ancestors. That info is also at this site - I omitted it for this posting below. I believe the Homestead applications are at the National Archives. If one goes to the NARA site and sends an e-mail to them - they will mail the proper application back for you to fill out and send in. Regards, Nan -------------------------------------- Found at: http://www.time-passages.com/dakota-homestead-records.html Homestead Documents and other Land Patent Records The Homestead States Much of the United States was once "public domain" land owned by the federal government and transferred to individuals under laws enacted by Congress. North Dakota and South Dakota are among the 30 states that were formed from the "public domain." The other 28 states are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The homestead and other land ownership records of the pioneers who settled the American West include many valuable documents that show ownership of land acquired under various federal laws designed to promote settlement of the western frontier. Homestead and other land ownership records are rich in genealogical information, and provide two types of important evidence for genealogists. First, they locate individuals and families in a specific time and place with connections to other people in the neighborhood, and second, they clearly show family relationships. Laws that opened up the American West The Pre-emption Act of 1841 accomodated settlers who had established themselves illegally on land ahead of government surveyors. When the surrounding land was eventually surveyed and made ready for public sale, the "squatter" had the right to appear at the local land office and purchase up to 160 acres of their illegal holdings for $1.25 per acre to pre-empt or prevent any subsequent claims, as long as the settler could show proof of a dwelling and improvements to the land. The Pre-emption Act, repealed in 1891, legalized early pioneer settlement on unsurveyed lands, and recognized squatting as a legitimate means of establishing a homestead. Many homestead files contain documents of proof related to the Pre-emption Act. Beginning in 1862, the United States Congress enacted a series of laws that totally transformed the American West. Land grants were given to the four transcontinental railroads to extend rail transportation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Homestead Act was adopted, offering free land to anyone willing to live on the land for five years and improve it. Native American peoples were removed from open land to reservations, opening up the west to white settlement. Thirteen new territories, including the Dakota Territory, were admitted to the union. Land grants were given to each state and territory to establish agricultural colleges to encourage productive farming. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered 160 acres of land (80 acres within the railroad grant areas) free to any head of family or person over 21 years of age who was a citizen of the United States or who had filed a declaration of intent to become a citizen in exchange for simply residing on the land for five years and improving it. Quarter sections of land were distributed free, provided the property was lived on and worked for five years. There was also an option to purchase the land after six months of residency for $1.25 per acre. Originally, the Homestead Act applied to surveyed land, but in 1880 it was extended to include unsurveyed land. Railroads spearheaded the onslaught of landseekers, bringing trainloads of homesteaders into the heart of the Western frontier. Every homestead file contains documents related to the Homestead Act. The Timber Culture Act of 1873 was another law that encouraged homesteading and the planting of trees in the west. If a settler planted 40 acres of timber (reduced to 10 acres in 1878) and fostered their growth for 10 years, the individual was entitled to that quarter section of land. The Timber Culture Act also permitted homesteaders who occupied their land for three years, with one acre of trees under cultivation for two of those three years, to receive a patent to the land. The law was eventually repealed in 1882. Many homestead files contain documents of proof related to the Timber Culture Act. The Desert Land Act of 1877 was designed to foster settlement of the arid and semi-arid regions of the west, specifically in Arizona, California, the Dakotas, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The Act allowed anyone to purchase 640 acres of land for 25 cents per acre if the land was irrigated within three years of filing. A rancher could receive title to the land any time within the three years upon proof of compliance with the law and payment of one additional dollar per acre. The homestead files of cattle ranchers in the region west of the Missouri River contain documents of proof related to the Desert Land Act and Timber Culture Act. Homestead Land Entry Papers The official records by which the United States government transferred land to individuals, either by sale or by grant, were called land entry papers, and the document that guaranteed title to such land was called a patent. An applicant for a homestead was called an entryman, and the initial documents included in the homestead files of Dakota pioneers were contained in a land-entry case file. The land-entry case file contained the entryman's homestead application, declaration of intent, supporting documents, testimony of witnesses, bounty land warrants (if used in lieu of cash), and naturalization papers, if needed. Land-entry case files are dated from 1863 to June 1908. Some early settlers in the public domain exercised the right of pre-emption, by which they "squatted" on public lands without permission, built a house and made other improvements, and were later allowed to purchase the land at a minimum price of $1.25 per acre when the surrounding land was put up for public sale. Other entrymen who applied for homesteads desired to obtain possession of their land prior to the five-year passage of time required by law. Such persons were able to purchase their land for cash at the established price, instead of waiting to fulfill the homestead conditions. These homestead entry documents in such cases were filed with the cash entry files of the same land office. A homestead application shows the name of the entryman, place of residence at the time of application, description of the land, and the number of acres. The filing of naturalization papers was required of foreign-born persons who desired to establish a homestead and own land. The testimony of a claimant on a homestead proof gives a description of the land, the name, age, and post office address of the claimant, describes the house, gives the date when residence was established, lists the number and relationship of family members, and explains the nature of crops and number of acres under cultivation. Homestead Final Certificate Files A homestead final certificate file includes the homestead application, certificate of publication of intention to complete the claim, final proof of the homestead, including the testimony of the claimant and two witnesses, a certified copy of any naturalization papers, if needed, and a final certificate authorizing the issuance of a patent (first-title deed) transferring the land from the federal government to the private individual. The final proof certificate gives the claimant's name, age, post office address, citizenship, dates the establishment of residence, gives the number and relationship of family members, and describes the location of the tract of land with a description of the house, furniture, the type of crops planted, the number of acres under cultivation, lists farm machinery and tools, includes the testimony of the claimant and two witnesses, usually nearby neighbors, and records the date that the patent was issued, including volume and page number of the recorded copy of the patent in the Bureau of Land Management or in the National Archives. A complete homestead case file includes the homestead application, the certificate of publication of intention to make a claim, the homestead proof, consisting of the testimony of the claimant and two witnesses, the final certificate authorizing the claimant to obtain a patent, and, when appropriate, a copy of the naturalization proceedings or a copy of a Union veteran's discharge certificate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Regards, Nan [email protected]

Hi: This is from Clif HInds' misc. file. Regards, Nan [email protected] ------------------------------------------- OHIO COSHOCTON COUNTY, OHIO, ADAMS TOWNSHIP HINDS SCHOOL, DISTRICT #1 Successor to the Corbit School Often called the Taylor School. (This information was copied from a copy that did not identify the name of the book or author.) The first schoolhouse in Adams Township was built about 1825 on the southeast quarter of Section 18, Robert Corbit's homestead, and this was the only school in the township for several years. The following is an account of this early school and its teachers, as told by historian Hill: "The first schoolhouse in the township was built about 1825 on the SE Quarter of Section 18, Robert Corbit's homestead. It was the usual log cabin, its dimensions about 22 feet square, built in the rough rude style prevalent in pioneer times; a puncheon floor, paper window panes, a huge fireplace occupying one entire end of the building were some of the features of this, as of nearly every other schoolhouse of that age. No portion of the lumber composing it was sawed. Perhaps the most finished piece of workmanship was the door. The split ash boards, from which it was made, had been shaved with a drawing knife to a tolerable degree of smoothness. The merest rudiments of an education could be obtained here at first. Reading and spelling often constituted the entire curriculum of study. Few of the earliest schoolmasters possessed a knowledge of arithmetic. School books were rarities, and the few that could be collected were of a motley description. A single leaf sufficed Lewis Corbit, during his first term at school. His father had but one reader in his possession, and this, an older sister of Lewis must have; she had attended school before, however, and had made some advancement, consequently the first leaf contained the alphabet could be spared. This was torn out and pasted on a paddle for Lewis' use.' "This was the only school held in the township for many years, and the attendance was accordingly very large at times. Among the families represented in the school may be mentioned the McFarlands, Evans, Richmonds, Norrises, Jones, Corbits, Pinkertons, Delongs, Shays, and Lemons. It was noted for the number of grownup young men who attended great strapping fellows, who weighed 200 or 225 pounds. "John Berwick was the first teacher. He was succeeded by Thomas Pinkerton, one of the early settlers of the Township. Henry Delong was probably the next teacher. He was of Welsh birth, and had been a glass-blower at Wellsburg, Virginia for a number of years before coming here. He possessed a fair education, and taught several terms. James Jones, another settler, followed Delong. Though a strictly temperate man himself, one of the few who abstained entirely from the use of the popular beverage of the day, he could not avoid treating his scholars to the customary holiday allowance of two gallons of whiskey. George Lemons and Thomas Campbell also taught here later. Until 1832 when the township was organized, there was probably but this one school within its limits. In that year, however, the trustees divided the township into three school districts; the first beginning at the SE corner of the Township and ending Robert Taylor's north line; the second beginning at Robert's north line and extending to the north line of the township; the third comprising the western half of the township, the military line being the division between the east and the west. This division would indicate that the eastern half of the township was more thickly settled at this time than the western half. Another district was soon formed, and the others as they became needed, until there were eight, the present number." This early Corbit School was probably adjacent to the Corbit Cemetery on Evans Creek. Today the Cemetery lies a mass of brambles and brush on the West Side of State Rout 751 at the intersection with County Road 251. Adams Township was created in June 1832, and at a meeting of the newly elected Adams Township Trustees (Thomas Powell, Joshua Wood and Archibald Leech) held September 13, 1832, the township was divided into three school districts. District 1 "beginning at the SE corner of the Township and ending at R. Taylor's north line." At a meeting of the Adams Township trustees on Nov. 4, 1836, Richard Taylor (died 1908), James Jones and Jacob Lanning were appointed directors of District No. 1; in 1838 District #1 school directors appointed were Richard Taylor, Elisha Hinds (1801-before 1880) and William Curry. A map of these school districts was drawn, and an explanatory note in the minutes of the Trustees' meeting indicated that District No. 1 commences at the SE corner of the Township and runs from thence west to the Military Line to the corners of Benjamin Headley's and William Curry's lands, from thence east to the County line, and from thence south to the place of beginning." Thus, roughly the southeast quarter of Adams Township, was placed in District #1. October 6, 1837 Robert Corbit gave a lease for a site for a schoolhouse for a period of 21 years to James Jones, Jacob Lanning and Richard Taylor, directors of District #1 for the purpose of erecting a district schoolhouse - ¼ acre from his farm in section 19, Township 6 Range 4 (12-49) March 2, 1840 the Trustees extended district #1 - " in the north boundary line westward to the NW corner of land owned and occupied by Abel Cain, thence south to land of William and Thomas Norris, thence west to NW corner of said Norris land, thence south to the Township line so as to contain the lands of Abel Cain, Samuel Norris, John W. Kyers and William and Thomas Norris." In 1840 the Trustees struck off and attached to Oxford township for school purposes from District #1: "commencing at SW corner of land owned by Jesse Poland ... and running thence due north to the NW corner of said land, thence east to County Line, thence south to Township line, thence west to place of beginning ..." - thus decreasing District #1 by this amount of land. Directors for District #1 appointed Oct. 11,1842 were Robert Corbit, Richard Taylor and William Z. Hill. William B. Scott and W. Hines (Name may have been misspelled and could be related to Will Hinds mentioned below???ch) were paid in April 1855 $169.40 for the building of a new schoolhouse for District #1, and James Warren was paid $7.49 for a new stove for the new log schoolhouse. Youth enumeration had increased from 44 to 74, perhaps because more wanted to attend school in the new log schoolhouse. The Taylor Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1832 after meetings in the schoolhouse and at the homes of its members for several years, built a log church adjacent to the Taylor Cemetery. Today the Taylor Cemetery is on the West side of State Route 751 at its junction with County Road 252b. The schoolhouse where the earliest Taylor Church services were held, was, no doubt, the Corbit School. Built on Taylor land, the new log Hinds schoolhouse was often called the Taylor School. It was the successor of the earlier Corbit School, and was almost due east of the old Corbit School in the SW corner of Section 21. Mr. Will Hinds and Miss Emma Miller 1871-1967, recalled that a portion of the old log schoolhouse stood close to the frame schoolhouse built in 1883 where they attended school. If a deed was given for this site, it was never filed. A lane westward from County Road 252 b to the Hinds School site, was had in later years, and one could easily reach the schoolhouse by the lane to the flat-topped knob surrounded by hills where it stood. Teachers by school years: with pay (Other teachers were listed but not copied) 1859 R. Rankin $79 John Hinds $36 - son of Elisha Hinds, he had a store for many years in Newcomerstown. Eliza A. Stonehocker, sister of Nancy J. Stonehocker, in her Diary under the date of Nov. 6, 1865: "Monday. Nancy and I came home together. She commenced school at Hinds today. I only had school (Everal School) until half past two on account of not having coal." Miss Emma Miller 1871-1967, was a pupil at Hinds school and remembered Paul T. Jones, Baxter Carr and Grant Clemmens as some of her teachers. She recalled that for an entertainment one year, they built a "sausage mill" which looked like a huge box with a door, and a large "grinding handle". They would send three boys through the door into the box, and out of the other end, after much grinding, would come huge sausages they had made our of red cloth and stuffed with straw! "It made a big hit" she said, "and we called it the 'Devil's Sausage Mill.'" from the Age, March 4, 1882: "We understand a movement is on foot looking to the erection of a new school house in the Hinds district, a necessity certainly all will acknowledge. In connection with this, we wish to say a few words on the progress of the school up to this point this winter. The management of this school this term is far from what it should be. We have heard repeated charges of the lack of discipline, the teacher not having sufficient courage to enforce order. Charges of insufficient recitations in the different branches are also very loud amongst the pupils. How is this, this being common gossip, and directors do not investigate the veracity of these charges?" Trouble in the one-room schools was often "aired" in the Coshocton newspapers, as illustrated by the above news item. But one item never sufficed. There usually were rebuttal and counter charges. In this case rebuttal came in the Age, March 14, 1882: "In your last issue, a correspondent at Evans Cree, Adams Township, made a bold attack on the teacher at Hinds School accusing him of lack of courage to enforce order in his school, and also of insufficient instruction in many branches. We do not know who this correspondent is and we care less, but we do know who this teacher is. And we know he is not wanting in courage to enforce what he undertakes .....and as for his insufficiency or his qualifications, we would just say that he has heretofore been classed with Coshocton's best teachers, and always commands the highest wages paid in our County Schools. We know of several schools in which he has been uncommonly successful as a disciplinarian and instructor, and never was such a charge as Clodhopper hurled at him excepting by those that are too ignorant to appreciate the labors of a live and energetic teacher...." The teacher in 1882 was W. Baxter Carr. Evidently the School's directors did not take this criticism of Carr seriously, as they re-hired him for the fall term. 1883 - Hinds School has a new schoolhouse! Clark M. Carr / Harrison Howell was paid $830 for the building. Thomas Kane was paid $145 for seats & desks. James Fenton was paid $14 for a new stove. The old schoolhouse was sold to Charles F. Davis for $5.00. A lawn fete followed, with the proceeds going for supplies for the new schoolhouse. A report by Teacher George W. Mowl made at the end of the winter term of 1890 appeared in the Age, April 3, 1891: "Report of Hinds School in District No. 1 Adams Township for the term beginning Sept. 28, 1890 and ending March 19, 1891. The following were the average grades for the term of six months: Mary Hinds 99, Bertha Corbit 99, Eva Hinds 99, Benton Miller 96, Eva Miller 93, May Elliott 92, John Patterson 91, Lena Fenton 90, Elmer Corbit 90, Jessie Huff 89, John Corbit 87, Charles Corbit 86. Attendance, punctuality and deportment were considered in the above grades. The following pupils were neither absent or tardy during the term: Bertha Corbit, Gertrude Carr, Eva Hinds, Alvin Hinds and Frank Corbit. Number enrolled 23, average daily attendance 20. I am pleased with the zeal and energy displayed by the pupils. If the same is continued, success will surely crown your efforts. I also tender my hearty thanks to both pupils and parents for the kindness and hospitality with which I have been treated while in your midst. Hoping to meet you all again, I am George W. Mowl, Teacher."
