I am forwarding this for Calvin who is on our list and sent it to me accidentally. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ========================= This is my first try at contacting the HINDS LIST. I have read the article about John H Hinds, and I'm still trying to determine just who is the subject of this report. Could this John H Hinds have had a son by the name of Thomas Mack Hinds, who was born around 1854, supposedly in Mississippi? Thomas M. Hinds father was supposed to have died in or near Chickasaw County, MS, and time time sounds about right to be this John H Hinds. Any information about this will be greatly appreciated.
