Hi: I spotted the message below at the Essex NJ message board and thought it should go into the Hinds archives. If the URL below doesn't work - use the search site at the message boards for "David HInds". It is about the third or 4th message. You can answer it there. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com =============================== Found at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa .states.newjersey.counties.essex&m=586 am researching the family of Benjamin HINDS who was born in Essex Co., NJ on 5 Sept. 1777. He died in Franklin Co., IN on 3 Feb. 1848. His wife was Mary VAN WINKLE, daughter of John VAN WINKLE. Benjamin's father was David HINDS. I would appreciate any information on David. Who was his wife? His parents? When was he born? Thank you for your help!
