Nan posted an article about Sarah Hinds who married Joseph Marsh, son of Samuel Marsh. I think this Sarah is a daughter of James II Hinds of Elizabethtown, James being the son of immigrant James of Salem. Another researcher sent me this reference: page 614 of Volume VII of the Compendium of American Genealogy by Frederick A. Virkus Published in 1928: Marsh Joseph (1663 - 1723), of Elizabeth, N. J.; mem. Gen. Assembly, 1710; m. Sarah Hinds (James7 [1643 - 1719], L. I. to Elizabeth, 1677; James6, Eng. to Salem, Mass., ca 1637, thence to Southold, L. I.);" I don't have access to the Compendium, so I haven't followed up on this. I find it interesting that James of Salem is shown as the 6th generation, implying that they have 5 generations of his ancestors. Also note that the 1731 will of James Hinds of Elizabethtown mentions land adjoining Samuel Marsh. That should be James III s/o James II, next to Samuel II s/o Samuel. However, there are a lot of entries at RootsWeb, and at least one message on Genforum, that say Sarah Hinds was a daughter of Joseph Hinds + Anne (unknown). The dates given for Joseph are the same as the dates I have for James II. Could James II's middle name have been Joseph? Note that there was also a Joseph Hinds of Elizabethtown who was killed by an overturned cart. His wife was Anne, and he had 8 children. Sarah might be one of them.

The Sarah Hinds of Elizabeth Town, New Jersey, who married Joseph Marsh was probably the daughter of James Hinds of Elizabeth Town who died in 1709 and his wife Anne (Spinning?). If so, she was probably the sister of the James Hinds of Elizabeth Town who died in 1731. These members of the Hinds family were not connected in any way to James Hinds of Salem, insofar as I have been able to determine. Barbara
