(I decided a couple of days ago to post a couple of messages from the board so that those messages would show up up there as well. But it doesn't seem to work all the time -- neither message has made it to this list so far... so I'm doing it myself. If somehow Rootsweb sends the original board postings later -- well, apologies in advance for the duplicates.) In the "War of 1812 Service Database" at Ancestry.com I saw a reference to an Asa Hinds of Tennessee, as follows: Name: ASA HINDS Company: 1 REG'T (WEAR'S) EAST TENNESSEE VOLS. Rank - Induction: PRIVATE Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE Roll Box: 100 Roll Exct: 0269 Is it possible that this Asa Hinds is the same as Asa Hinds (1786-1850), husband of Nancy Cooke, son of Capt. John Henry Hinds? Might anyone have information to this effect? -- Mel Green MY HINDS FAMILY LOCATIONS: New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri MY HINDS FAMILY LINE: Descendant of Joseph Hinds (1705-1772); m. Rutha Baldwin or Higgins through their son Capt. John Henry Hinds (1745-1811); m. Abigail ? through their son Asa Hinds (1786-1850); m. Nancy Cooke through their daughter Susannah Hinds (1833-1918); m. Garrett Henry Renneker (then a couple more Renneker generations, then a couple of Green generations) ----------------- Melissa S.
