Hi: Can someone connect this girl to her Hinds family? I have in VanBuren, Crawford Co.: John HInds married to Easter ? David HInds married to Margaret Mattix 1827 in Lawrence Co. AR then moved to Crawford Co. in 1830/31. David's children were: Esther, Edward, John, Elizabeth, Archibald, Cynthia & Mary BUT, I don't have the Sarah Jane Hinds that appeared in the newspaper below. Did John & Easter have another child besides David? or is this Sarah Jane connected to the HInds in Washington Co.? Or could she be Widow Sarah Hinds? Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ====================================== Arkansas Intelligencer VanBuren, Crawford Co. AR July 5, 1845 MARRIED On the 14th day of May, by Josiah Wynne, Esq., Mr. Robert Russell, to Miss Sarah Jane Hinds; all, of this county. =============================== July 14, 1849 LIST OF LETTERS. Remaining in the Post Office and Van Buren on the 30th of June, A.D. 1849, Which, if not taken out within three months, will be sent to the General Post Office as dead letters: Hinds Sarah

You are correct but one generation short. The line is as follows: Joseph Hinds married Ruth ? Joseph Hinds married Hannah ? Some say Grider and some say Ludlow. I wish I knew where the author of the book got the name Ludlow. Joseph "Miller" Hinds married Margaret ? known as Betsey Barbara

Hi: I am typing two entries below from a Bond family book. If you also have Bond ancestors - this is a must read. I believe it is on film at Salt Lake. But since it was published in 1913 - I think there are some discrepancies. I have Joseph HInds, brother of Abigail Hinds married to Joseph Bond as being married to a Hannah Grider - not a Betsy (Elizabeth). Which one of us is all fouled up? If I read this correctly this author has: 1. Joseph Hinds whose wife was a Ludlow. His children: 2. Abigail Hinds married to Joseph Bond in 1797 2. Joseph "Miller" Hinds & wife Betsy. His children: 3. Jane Hinds b MD Nov 20, 1787 married to Joel Bond brother of Joseph 3. Charity Hinds b. b. Aug 9, 1789 married William Bond, brother of Joel & Joseph above Did I read these entries below correctly. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ==================== BOND GENEALOGY, A history of the Descendants of Joseph Bond: born 1704 in Wiltshire, England, died 175-, in North Carolina: also a brief account of many of the descendants of John Bond, his brother, who also emigrated to America, the two being sons of Benjamin and Ann (Paradise) bond, of Wiltshire, England, Published Muncie, Indiana by unknown publisher, 1913, 272 pgs. Pg 43 59. JOSEPH BOND (John-Joseph), second child and eldest son of John and Jane (Beeson) Bond, was born Feb 29, 1780, in Guilford County, N.C. His parents being Friends of Quakers he had a birthright membership in that society. In the year 1795, when he was 15 years of age, a certificate of membership from Center Monthly Meeting of Friends of Guilford County, N.C. to New Hope Monthly Meeting of Green County, Tenn., was granted to Joseph Bond and his four brothers, Benjamin, Joel, Isaac and William. It is supposed that his father moved at that time from North Caroline to Tennessee, taking his children and moving their membership in the meeting, the father not being a member at the time. When in 1797 Lost Creek Monthly Meeting was established he and his brothers became members of that meeting, located in Jefferson County, Tenn. At the age of 17 years he married out of the meeting, contrary to the rules of the society, and thereby lost his membership. The records of Lost Creek Monthly Meeting, page 16, dated Nov. 18, 1797 note this marriage "out of meeting". From this time on no records of him could be found in the records of the monthly meeting. We learn from his grandchildren that he, Joseph Bond, married (1797) ABIGAIL HINDS. She died about 1841. She was the daughter of JOSEPH (?) HINDS, who wife was a Ludlow. The children of Joseph and Abigail Bond were: 265. I Joel, b Aug 13, 1798 266. II Sarah, b. Dec. 12, 1799 267. III John 268. IV Jane, b. Sept. 7, 1803 269. V Samuel 270. VI Malinda 271. VII Matilda 272. VIII Joseph, Jr. 273. IX Elizabeth, b. March 29, 1815 274. X Martha, b. Sept. 24, 1817; d. April 18, 1863 275. XI Hannah, b. Sept. 22, 1819; d. 1878 Pg 45 61. JOEL BOND (John-Joseph), son of John and Jane (Beeson) Bond, born Jan 18, 1784, in Guilford County, N.C.; moved to Jefferson County, Tenn., in 1795, and a few years later settled in Wayne County, Ky., where he married JANE HINDS, born in Maryland, Nov 20, 1787, daughter of JOSEPH HINDS (called "MILLER" JOE HINDS) and wife Betsey. This JOSEPH HINDS being a brother to ABIGAIL HINDS, who previous to this had married Joseph Bond, a brother to Joel. About the year 1835 he moved from Kentucky to Miller County, Mo. However, he lived a year or two in Breckenridge County, Ky., before going to Missouri. He died in Miller County, Mo., Feb. 1, 1856. His residence was west of Spring Garden. It has been said of him that he did not own slaves, as did some of his brothers. So far as learned the children's names were as follows: 279. I William M., b. Oct 2, 1815 280. II Stephen W. 281. III Benjamin, said to have not married. 282. IV Joel, Jr. 283. V Lewis G. 284. VI Margaret 285.VII Elizabeth 64. WILLIAM BOND (John-Joseph), son of John and Jane (Beeson) Bond, was born in Guilford County, N.C. Dec. 5, 1789; died in Cole County, Mo., Oct 11, 1875. Moved from North Carolina to Jefferson County, Tenn., in 1795, and a few years later settled in Wayne County, Ky., where he married CHARITY HINDS, born Aug 9, 1789, daughter of JOSEPH AND BETSY HINDS. She died Jan. 30, 1866, in Cole County, Mo., to which place they moved about the year 1836, and settled near Hickory Hill. He was a soldier in the War of 1812. When in his minority was bound to his brother Joseph. Children: 294. I. Margaret Ann, b Sept. 16, 1816 295 II. John Washington, b. March 24, 1821 296 III. Isaac Beeson, b. June 5, 1826 297 IV.

I found two Almon Hinds on that index which may be father & son. If you order their applications for SS #s - in most cases they will have the mothers' maiden names. Because of new stricter rules since 9/11 you need to be sure and say that they are your father and grandfather - otherwise they will not give you access to them. The fee has increased for these copies so I can't say what the cost is these days. Another tack: Almon is an unusual name. I have seen it on this list before. I suggest that you visit our Hinds-L archives at: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=HINDS-L and put in the word ALMON for each of the years and see what comes up.

Jerry wrote: "Can you help me by giving me an idea of how to start to trace my family history?" Jerry: Do the censuses first. Do you live near an LDS Family History Center? Purchase some family group sheets from them and a pedigree chart - five cents each. Then I would start by finding as many of your ancestors as possible by using the census indexes online at Ancestry.com. It costs an arm and a leg BUT I believe all the Family History Centers have subscribed to Ancestry.com. So, use their computers to locate your people on the 1930 census - then the 1920 - and so on. Print them out and put them in a binder. Be sure and tell the FHC volunteers that you are a beginner and need help. Otherwise, they'll leave you alone to do your research. By the way, there is no proselytizing (of the Mormon religion at the FHCs) - not unless you ask. In our area - the FHCs are open the middle days of the week - Tues, Wed, Thurs - in the afternoons and in the evenings. Some are open on Saturdays. If you are not close to an FHC then try a short subscription at Ancestry.com and use it like mad to find your people on the censuses. If you have living grandparents, aunt & uncles then you'll have people to tap for info. Tell them that you would like to build a timeline for your grandparents or whoever. If you have a tape recorder - set it on the table between you and let them talk. Do you have a scanner. Ask to scan their baptism certificates, marriage certificates, etc. and return them immediately - same day if possible. Or take your relatives to Kinkos where you can copy their items while they still have possession of them. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com

Clif, I really don't know much.... my father (deceased) was born in 1925 (fact) in Decatur, Illinois (Monroe County), his name was Almon William Hinds, he went by Bill. He served in WWII, Army, in the Phillipines. His father was Almon Hinds, he died suddenly at home when my Dad was about 12...so approx 1937 (I think). Almon's wife (my grandmother) Mildred (Myers...maiden name) was born 1898 or 1899 in central Illinois and was a a farm girl who later became a teacher after Almon's passing. She never remarried. FYI, my Dad and Mom graduated from Milliken University in Decatur, Illinois....probably 1950 give or take a year or 2. My mother...Gloria Granert (maiden name) was from Toluca, Illinois where her Dad, Robert Granert founded the Granert dress factory. That dress factory was converted at the governments request (or insistence) to a hemp facility during WWII for the manufacture of rope. Now that I think about it - somewhere I have a handwritten "book" (actually a notebook) written by Mildred in the 1970's-80's about her life....which I'm sure will have some Hinds family references. I need to dig it out....haven't thought about it in years! That's all I know.....not too much, but it's a start. I really do need to find "Granny's book". Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bill is correct. They are huge and will require a lot of dedication if anyone is interested in digging into them. My interest in them will be limited to those areas where I know my family was involved / lived / traveled. The rest would be interesting, but I do not feel I would have time to deal with it.

Before the Revolution, Augusta County, Virginia was used essentially to describe everything to the west of modern Viginia. It included West Virginia, Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania, Ohio (well you get the picture). It was a pretty big town.

Lewis , at the battle of Pt. Pleasant, WV. He was there with my Andrew Lockridge. I found this information on Heritage Quest, search of books with passages about--Lockridge, the book the citation came from is The pioneer to the Kentucky emigrant : a brief topographical & historical description of the state of Kentucky : to which are added some original verses Lexington, Ky.: University of Kentucky Publications Committee, Margaret Voorhies Hagin Trust, 1942, 97 pgs Lots of men who fought in this battle, and survived came back to the area to live, my Lockridge and Kincade families did. I don't know if it helps but I thought I would let you know that I ran across this information. Cheryl Enyart --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Jerry, Tell me what you know about your family as far back as you can. Also let me know what you think but do not know. Tell me which is fact and which is thinking. I will see what I have that might help you. Clif --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web

Jerry, I started in the late 1980s. I knew very little about my family. Dad had some information, but it turned out that not all of the word of mouth information was correct. I took what I knew and basically wrote it down. I also kept what I had been told, but in another file. I knew certain information about my great grandfather's service in the Civil War, but not much. I got a copy of his death certificate and his military history (copies from the National Archives) and started piecing things together. I did some major guessing in the process of learning more. The guesses or hunches were based on what I knew. Some times I got lucky and other times not. Sometimes I learned things that did not quite fit in at the time. I saved the information on the chance that it would prove useful eventually. On my grandad's death certificate, I learned his parents names (Including mother's maiden name) and their place of birth. I went to everything I could find including Census records and found where (for me within the state of Pennsylvania) my gg grandfather and gg grandmother's families (People with that family name) lived in the same place. I started piecing the puzzle together from both ends. With a lot of work and luck, I have a pretty good record back before the American Revolution. I have traveled a lot on my job. I used that opportunity to go into libraries in several towns and cities. I had limited time, so I restricted my research to publications that had indexes. I did not have enough time to read an entire book only to learn it had nothing pertinent to my family. Hopefully this has been of some help to you.

Hi: Pasted below is a better description of the Lyman Draper Manuscript Collection. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ================================== Found at: http://www.netease.net/decatur/draper.htm The Draper Manuscripts Sandi Gorin has graciously given permission for the following explanation of the Draper Manuscripts to be added to this site. Sandi concentrates on KY research, but these documents can be helpful in Tennessee also. THE DRAPER MANUSCRIPTS: What are they? Where are they? We've all heard about them; will they help us in our Kentucky research? The Draper Manuscripts (often referred to as the Draper Papers) were compiled by Lyman Copeland Draper. He had planned to do a book which he had named "Sketches of the Lives of the Pioneers". The book was never realized. But, his collection of interviews does exist. The collection is a series of interviews which he conducted, many in person, some in letters, about the old pioneers. The time frame is expansive - from the 1740's through the War of 1812 time frame. The territory covered is just as impressive - 21 states east of the Mississippi River, Iowa, Missouri and parts of Canada! The papers also include documents, 575 early maps and manuscripts. His interviews ranged from the heroes of the time to the unknown little settler. And, bless his historical heart, he sensed that we in later years needed more than a list of their names. He included their names, parents and grandparents; sometimes more. When Draper died in 1819, he had been working on the manuscripts for over 50 years. Draper himself, a New York man, was so intent on his research that he caught the attention of his cousin's husband, Peter Remen. Having the finances to help, Remen was a strong supporter of Draper's quest. The original collection is housed at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Madison, WI. You are allowed to see the originals there, but cannot photocopy them. Some of the information contained is absolutely a gold mine of information and includes information such as color of hair and eyes, where the individual was born, military service and much more. How many manuscripts are there? 491 volumes on 123 reels of microfilm which are divided into 50 separate series. The series are labeled A through ZZ (with the letter I and II not used). The George Rogers Clark Papers are Series J and are 65 volumes on 15 reels alone. The Joseph Brant Papers, Series E contained 22 volumes on 6 reels. A Guide to the Draper Papers was published by Josephine L. Harper, she the Curator of the Draper Manuscripts, gives a description of each series, an index to the people named and places cited; it includes 4 appendices. There are also Calendars to 11 of the series in the collection which give an over-view of the documents by date and an index to the actual documents. Five of these Calendars are in print and may be ordered from McDowell Publications, of Utica, KY. Printed Calendars include the Calendar of the Kentucky Papers of the Draper Collection, Calendar of the Tennessee and King's Mountain Papers of the Draper Collection, and The Preston and Virginia Papers of the Draper Collection. See their web site at: http://members.aol.com/sammcpub/cat3.htm These Calendars can be found on microfiche and may be ordered from., 623 Martense Ave., Teaneck, NJ 07666 (1984 address): Calendar of the George Rogers Clark Papers of the Draper Collection; Calendar of the Frontier War Papers; Calendar of the David Shepherd Papers; Calendar of the South Carolina Papers; Calendar of the South Carolina Papers in the Revolutions Miscellanies and Calendar of the Thomas Sumter Papers.

The Draper manuscripts are aavailable as reels of microfilm and there are close to 500 of them. There are books indexing various parts of of the manuscripts in some fashion. Getting into this material is a time intensive matter. Bill LaBach.
