She has followed the Lewis and Clark Trail since 1974, and has been a member of the Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Foundation (LCHTF) since 1971. Bev is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Foundation, and is president of the local Sgt. Floyd Tri-State Chapter of the LCHTF, Inc.

What is myth? What is fact? What is fiction? One Sacagawea, or two? Guide, Interpreter, Wife, or slave? A fascinating young woman and what the past almost 200 years and the records have told us about her. Sgt. Charles Floyd: Who Was or Wasn't He, and His Untimely Death One of the "9 Young Men From Kentucky" who joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition in Oct. of 1803, time and genealogical studies have given us more insight into his parentage and his life. The first American soldier to die West of the Mississippi, buried on a bluff (4 times!) near what is now Sioux City, IA, Sgt. Floyd has a never to be forgotten place in the history of the 1803-1806 Expedition. The Medicines of Lewis and Clark The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803-1806 that took approximately 28 months, covered nearly 8000 miles and lost the life of only one member, had a very interesting medical supply list. What were the medicines and the medical practices of the time? Why didn't Thomas Jefferson send a doctor along? What allowed the members to survive the incidents that occurred? Could this feat be accomplished again today? What we know, what we surmise, and what time and records have given us, can make history fun.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1923, he joined the Navy as an aviation cadet in 1942. He became an ensign, U.S.N.R., in 1944 and served with fighting squadrons 97 and 52 in World War II. He was released in 1946 and recalled for active duty in 1950 for the Korean War. He attended Air Intelligence School and served aboard the USS Philippine Sea and the USS Valley Forge as the air intelligence officer. His distinguished career included serving as operational intelligence officer on the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff at SAC Headquarters, as a member of the Strategic Plans and Policy Division, Washington, D.C., and culminated in his assuming the duties of commanding officer of the Fleet Intelligence Center Atlantic in Norfolk. Captain Hinds received his undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi and was initiated into Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Sigma Alpha (national honor societies for academic excellence), and the Claiborne Society for Achievement in History. He graduated from the Army War College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania; attained a Master of Science degree from George Washington University; and served as a faculty member of the Armed Forces Staff College. He was the first 1350 Air Intelligence Officer to attain the rank of captain, and was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Joint Services Commendation Medal and the Navy Unit Commendation with two stars. After his retirement, Captain Hinds was known as an avid bicyclist, the neighborhood "Mr. Fix-it'', and a generous man of great humor and wit. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Survivors include his best friend and beloved wife of 56 years, Frances ``Frankie'' Hays Hinds; three children; and two grandchildren. Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association.

I think I know about Woods Hinds. He appears to be a son of John B Hinds + Mariah Hinds of Wayne Co KY. At least, he is with them on one of the censuses (1860 I think). He was born about 1841, which would be about right for Civil War service. At least one of John + Mariah's other sons went to TX, too. John B was a son of Levi II Hinds, who was son of Levi Hinds, who was son of Joseph Hinds. Mariah was daughter of Joseph Hinds, who was son of Levi Sr Hinds above. I just recently discovered Woods, so don't know anything else about him. Apparently he served in war and survived. Any descendants of his out there? I don't recognize the Simon Cooke Hinds, though. He must be from a different Hinds.

Hi: I was searching on google for a Hinds that was killed in a boating accident in the 1950s or 60s and ran across this unusual story from Middlesbrough, England. It mentions a Chris Hinds, age 43. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ======================================== Found at: http://www.thefaxtimes.com/archive/weirdfacts1.html An exhausted dog close to drowning in a fast-flowing river has reportedly been saved by a seal. Witnesses say the seal pushed the labrador-German shepherd cross to the safety of the shore. The 10-year-old dog had fallen into the River Tees and battled its way to one bank but could not get out. It turned to cross to the other side but, as it fought the tide, passers-by said the will was sapped out of the dog in the middle of the stretch of water. Just as the dog's head began to sink under the water a seal appeared and nudged it to safety. The dramatic course of events happened beneath Newport Bridge, Middlesbrough. Witness Chris Hinds, 43, from Middlesbrough, said: "It was just like the dog had a guardian angel." Mr Hinds was with his 18-year-old son Raymond when they spotted the injured animal, which had a cut on its head. "I initially reached in to get hold of him but when he saw me he panicked," Mr Hinds said. "I saw him going across the Tees from the Middlesbrough side to the Stockton side. He was an old dog and struggling. I thought, 'This dog is going to die'. There was no way I could get in to rescue him. "Just then a seal popped up out of nowhere. He came behind it and actually pushed him. I have never seen anything like it in my life. This dog would not have survived in the water if it hadn't been for that seal." Fire crews were called to the scene by Mr Hinds' son and helped capture the confused dog.

Hi: Found while browsing. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ==================================== A Commercial launch pad brings jobs, but at what cost? (adapted from New Scientist June 01, 2000) One of the Caribbean’s last jungles could soon echo to the sound of rocket launches. Guyana, has agreed to sell a large tract of pristine swampy rainforest to a Texan rocket-launch company, Beal Aerospace, for just US$7.50 a hectare. The deal, signed in May 2000, replaces Beal’s original plan to build its US$250 million launch pad on the Caribbean island of Sombrero in Anguilla, which angered environmental scientists (New Scientist, 12 February, p 22). Guyanese Prime Minister Samuel Hinds hailed the project as a "quantum leap for Guyana into the new millennium". On the other hand, critics say that the country will gain little economically, while rainforest dwellers will be thrown out of their homes, swamps drained, forests cut down and ancient archaeological remains trashed. Guyana is close to the equator, which is the best place to launch satellites into geostationary orbit above the equator. The European Space Agency’s spaceport is in nearby French Guiana. From Guyana, the launch route eastwards will be over open ocean in case of mishaps. Prime Minister Hinds calls the site "generally unproductive land never before comercially utilised". Documents supporting the sale agreement however, indicate that up to 54 families living there would have to be removed. Sharon Atkinson of the Amerindian Peoples’ Association in Guyana says many others will lose their right to hunt, fish and gather thatch and timber there. The launch area is part of the homeland of the Warao people, whose settlements date back 7000 years and are only now being excavated. "Building a rocket launch site will very probably destroy the archaeological record here before it has been fully explored", says Terry Roopnarine, a Guyanese anthropologist at the University of Cambridge. The World Monuments Fund in New York recently placed the area on its list of the hundred most endangered archaeological sites. The Vice-President of Beal, David Spoede responds to these concerns by saying that the project will only go ahead if an environmental impact assessment, which is about to start, proves acceptable to both sides. But he adds that drainage work would probably begin in six months, before completion of the assessment. Spoede, in speaking with New Scientist says "many Amerindians have backed the scheme, they want job opportunities for themselves and their children".

Hi: Did I send this last week? If so, I apologize. I used google and looked for: "Hinds" Covered wagon Iowa Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ========================================= Found at: http://www.fccsantacruz.org/History/Hinds.html The Rev. Thomas W. Hinds Thomas W. Hinds was born in London, England in December of 1818, the son of Joseph Hinds, a moderately wealthy man who is identified as a wafer maker (probably a maker or seller of fine writing papers). Joseph Hinds was a staunch Anglican who intended his son should succeed him in business after obtaining a thorough education. However, young Thomas William asked, in lieu of patrimony, to be allowed to study theology. His request was granted and he entered the University of Glasgow which was then considered to provide the best training available to "dissenters." He became a dissenting minister of the Congregational sect. His education included a stay in France where he studied that language in depth. He met and married his wife Jane Isabella Johnson while serving a church at St. Bees on the coast of northern England. He then served a church in or near Chester and during this time his first child, Alfred Joseph was born. After the death of his father, probably in late 1845, Hinds left the ministry to assume management of his father's affairs in London. His daughter Amelia Isabelle was born during this period. Unfortunately the business did not flourish under his leadership and in 1847 he and his family emigrated to the United States where they settled in Farmington, Iowa. Hinds entered the mercantile business and erected a brick building which bore his name. A third child, William J., was born in 1849. For reasons that have not survived in the family history but apparently not because of gold fever, in May of 1850 the Hinds family and four other men, set out for California in ox-drawn covered wagons. During the journey, which was full of beauty as well as great hardship, Jane died and the bereaved and beleagured family finally arrived in California in September. Upon arriving in San Francisco Hinds turned at once to the few church leaders there and accepted humble tasks related to the pioneer Christian movement in that city. He found work as a Bible agent and preacher, later acting as traveling correspondent for the "Pacific," a denominational paper which is still being published today. In the fall of 1851 he moved to Santa Cruz and was instrumental in organizing the Santa Cruz Congregational Church, of which he became minister in 1852. It seems never to have been his intention to attain wealth. He never attempted to do more than earn a modest living, serving the community in any ways that he could. In Santa Cruz he remarried and his name and that of his second wife Marietta was recorded by the church as "Charter Member" in 1857. He also officiated in the Methodist Church in the absence of the regular pastor. From 1855 to 1860 he conducted a private school, then retired from public life due to failing health. In 1866 he became blind and from this time until his death on November 11, 1970, he was cared for by his daughter, Amelia. -- [material adapted from A Century of Christian Witness: History of First Congregational Church Santa Cruz, California 1857-1963]

I could've sworn that I ran across someone who was named "Woods County [surname]" or something of that sort -- in any case, someone who was named after a particular county. There is a Woods County in Oklahoma. However, I'm not certain of the county, nor of which surname it's attached to -- I'll take a look at my database when I get home tonight. Meanwhile, thanks for the very useful link. -- Mel Nan Wolf wrote: >This website was sent to another list. I am pasting the Hinds below but >you might want to try your other surnames.

I cannot find any information on this man--where he was born (England??), or when. His wife died during the journey to California, but I can't find his wife's name, either. His children are: Alfred J. Hinds b. Indiana? who married Sarah. Amelia Hinds b. Indiana?, who married Duncan McPherson of Santa Cruz around 1870. And William J. Hinds b. 1849? Indiana? who married Mary. I can trace my lineage from William J. to Hugh Howe to Hugh Clarence to myself. Anyone have any information on this Thomas William Hinds?

Hi: In a recent message about an 1870 census of Hinds in Santa Cruz City, Santa Cruz Co. CA I showed a Marietta Hinds as head of house with a son, Edward age 15, living with her and a Curtis Clark age 77. Her husband, Rev. T. W. HInds was blind and living with their daughter, Amelia McPherson and family. Now I have found her as Mariet in the 1880 census with only one other person in the house. He is Curtis Clark, father. BINGO!! So, now we know the maiden name of Marietta Hinds, widow, of Rev. T. W. Hinds. She was born in NY. and her parents were both born in Vermont. She is 61 and keeping house so is no longer doing office work at home evidently. Her father's parents were born in Conn. Now, I should have picked up on this before. Note that Rev. T.W.HInds's first two children were born in England yet his wife in the 1860 census (& later) is born in NY. The third child is born in Iowa 3 years later. The fourth in CA 6 years later. In the 1880 census, son, A. J. (Alfred) who works in real estate & insurance ,says his parents are both born in England. Amelia (Hinds) McPherson says that her parents are both born in England. So, we know that Marietta is not their mother. For the third child William, I found a 31 year old William, a carpenter, (which matches the 1870 info) in Sacramento City, Sacramento Co. (page 180 A) whose parents are both born in England but the census taker was given Indiana (instead of Iowa) as his place of birth. He is married to a Mary with children named Guy U., (7 yr) Hugh (6 yr) & William E. (2yr) He has a daughter age 9/12 mos. named Annie born in Oct. Could son Hugh be named after Hugh Howe Hinds? Could Hugh Howe Hinds and Rev. T.W. be brothers? It would be easy for a wife to mistakenly give Indiana instead of Iowa as his birthplace. They are both begin with the letter I and are in the midwest. I found Rev. T. W. Hinds youngest son, Edward, as a 25 yr old farmer in San Benito Co. CA in the 1880 census. That is next door to Santa Cruz Co., I believe. He was born in CA, father born in England, and mother born in NY so that matches Marietta as a mother. So, the first three children of Rev. T. W. HInds were by his first wife (name unknown at this juncture) and his fourth child Edward was by his 2nd wife, Marietta. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com

T. W. is 52, a retired clergyman and living in the house of his married daughter, Amelia, a housewife, with her husband, Duncan McPherson, a newspaper publisher and their 1 year old daughter Rosa . Wife, Martha, is not mentioned BUT there is a Marietta Hinds age 51, b NY (correct age & birthplace for his wife) who is head of house with a son Edward, age 15 b CA (which is correct age & bp for young Edward judging by the 1860 census) So, it looks like Rev. Hinds is already blind and living with his daughter so his wife can do office work at home. Wife's occupation says "Keeping office". She also has (in the same household) Charles Orr age 10 yrs and Willie Orr age 8 yrs and Curtis Clark, age 77 yrs. No occupation is given except "at home" for the young boys and 'none' for Mr. Clark. Are they lodgers? Relatives? This census has no place for relationship - drat. Son, Alfred J., age 25 is married and living with wife, Sarah L. age 17 - no children. I cannot read his occupation which starts with "Book--------- St -----" Son, William J. born Iowa is a 21 yr old carpenter living in the house of George Madeira & family

Hi: I used google and found more on Rev. T. W. Hinds whose covered wagon journey journal has been mentioned previously. I am pasting the articles below. Darlene, who mentioned this journal on the Hinds message board has now joined this list so this will be of interest to her. Is this T.W. HInds a relative of her Hugh Howe Hinds who had a copy of this journal? Hugh Howe's father was born in England. This Rev. T.W. Hinds is born in England. Wonder what the connection is? Darlene, if you decide to type his journal into a .doc or text file - it should be sent in a file to Steve Williams of the California Pioneer Project at: Steve Williams, CA Pioneer Project wjb@lightspeed.net You can visit the CA Pioneer Project at: http://www.cagenweb.com/cpl/ I would also like to send it to this list - a bit at a time - it would be interesting reading for our list members. Reminder: I have pasted several separate T.W. Hinds findings below. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ========================================= Found at: http://www.fccsantacruz.org/History/begin.html In the Beginning... In 1851 there were only two Congregational churches in all of California--one in San Francisco and one in Sacramento--and one in the process of organizing in Nevada City. When under the leadership of Thomas Hinds a Congregational church was officially recognized in the spring of 1852 it became the fourth such formed in the state. The succinct story of the first move toward organization is told in two paragraphs in the Otto-Taylor Historical Manual of 1897: "In June, 1851, under the leadership of the Rev. T. W. Hinds, who had just become a resident of Santa Cruz, services were held in the Union House, and in July in a grove near the residence of Mr. Imus, and afterwards in a rented building located on Front Street. In 1852 a meeting was held to consult as to the organization of a church. After some delay this organization was completed, with the Apostle's Creed as its doctrinal standard, March 14, 1852, with T. W. Hinds as minister, and the following persons as members: Mr. and Mrs. Case, Mrs. Greenwood, T. L. Andrews, D. C. Stone, Nelson Taylor, Charles Collins and James M. Cutler. The Rev. D. A. Dryden, pastor of the Methodist Church in Santa Cruz preached the sermon at the organization service, and both churches celebrated the Lord's Supper together. April fourth of the same year Nelson Taylor was chosen Deacon. "This was the first Congregational Church organized in this town and in the country roundabout. Except for the illness of Mr. Hinds and the removal of most of the members from town, this Church would have continued unto the present time. Yet the seed was sown, and a few years afterward, September 13, 1857, the present church was organized with twelve members." Thus it seems that First Congregational Church could just as easily claim 1852 as its birth year as 1857. And indeed the subject of different organizational dates had long been a matter of friendly controversy in the church and elsewhere in the early 1900s. In the history of other old churches, lapses of continuous services of worship and well formulated boards and committees seem to have been habitual in their early years and yet many use their initial start as the official date of organization. In 1951, during the Rev. Ed Cunningham's pastorate, there was considerable discussion as to whether to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the church in 1952 or 1957. No formal vote was taken but the concensus was that the latter date should be observed. -- [material adapted from A Century of Christian Witness: History of First Congregational Church Santa Cruz, California 1857-1963] ================================== Found at: http://www.fccsantacruz.org/History/Hinds.html The Rev. Thomas W. Hinds Thomas W. Hinds was born in London, England in December of 1818, the son of Joseph Hinds, a moderately wealthy man who is identified as a wafer maker (probably a maker or seller of fine writing papers). Joseph Hinds was a staunch Anglican who intended his son should succeed him in business after obtaining a thorough education. However, young Thomas William asked, in lieu of patrimony, to be allowed to study theology. His request was granted and he entered the University of Glasgow which was then considered to provide the best training available to "dissenters." He became a dissenting minister of the Congregational sect. His education included a stay in France where he studied that language in depth. He met and married his wife Jane Isabella Johnson while serving a church at St. Bees on the coast of northern England. He then served a church in or near Chester and during this time his first child, Alfred Joseph was born. After the death of his father, probably in late 1845, Hinds left the ministry to assume management of his father's affairs in London. His daughter Amelia Isabelle was born during this period. Unfortunately the business did not flourish under his leadership and in 1847 he and his family emigrated to the United States where they settled in Farmington, Iowa. Hinds entered the mercantile business and erected a brick building which bore his name. A third child, William J., was born in 1849. For reasons that have not survived in the family history but apparently not because of gold fever, in May of 1850 the Hinds family and four other men, set out for California in ox-drawn covered wagons. During the journey, which was full of beauty as well as great hardship, Jane died and the bereaved and beleagured family finally arrived in California in September. Upon arriving in San Francisco Hinds turned at once to the few church leaders there and accepted humble tasks related to the pioneer Christian movement in that city. He found work as a Bible agent and preacher, later acting as traveling correspondent for the "Pacific," a denominational paper which is still being published today. In the fall of 1851 he moved to Santa Cruz and was instrumental in organizing the Santa Cruz Congregational Church, of which he became minister in 1852. It seems never to have been his intention to attain wealth. He never attempted to do more than earn a modest living, serving the community in any ways that he could. In Santa Cruz he remarried and his name and that of his second wife Marietta was recorded by the church as "Charter Member" in 1857. He also officiated in the Methodist Church in the absence of the regular pastor. From 1855 to 1860 he conducted a private school, then retired from public life due to failing health. In 1866 he became blind and from this time until his death on November 11, 1970, he was cared for by his daughter, Amelia. -- [material adapted from A Century of Christian Witness: History of First Congregational Church Santa Cruz, California 1857-1963] ============================================== Found at: www.canvocta.org/newsletter/TTapr02.htm DIARY QUOTES... from Shann Rupp ~ "Grass is so scarce that a whipperwill would starve if he should chance to come this way."

Danico (aka Denico) enlisted at 19 from Ellsworth in Company G, 11th Maine Infantry, on November 4, 1861. He re-enlisted on January 8, 1864, and was discharged for disability August 28, 1865. He applied for a pension in 1868. He died about 1900, the year that Louisa Danico applied for a widow's pension. Her application was contested by Danico's wife, Jennette (Cora Jennette Hinds, daughter of Edward and Sarah Hinds). Danico is buried in the Stratton Lower Cemetery, Eustis, with "Jennette Hinds, his wife" (1857-1935).

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EKj.2ACIB/342.2.1 Message Board Post: Nan, I certainly appreciate the info you posted for me. I finally have the information on my Dad's family I was looking for. I can't thank you enough. I finally found the copy of the diary of the Reverend that came over in a covered wagon. It is the diary of a T.W. Hinds from Farmington, Southeastern Iowa who left there on May 2, 1850 and arrived in Sacramento sometime after September 22, 1850. He then traveled from Sacramento to San Francisco via the Sacramento River by boat. T.W. lists his children as: Alfred, Amelia, and William. His wife died and was buried during the last month of the journey, yet he never mentioned her name in the diary. I still don't know how I am related to this family, but that's what I'm going to try to find out next. Thanks, again, Nan!
