Hi: Someone recently asked about a Jacob Hinds that was supposed to have served in the Rev. War from New Hampshire. The DAR lineage books at Ancestry.com do not have him but do mention him in three other men's entries. I've pasted them below. so, it looks as though this Capt Jacob HInds mentioned below was at Bunker Hill and was connected with New Hampshire. Do any of you have access to the DAR Patriots Index? It should list him. Regards, Nan [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver Johnson served in Capt. Jacob Hinds' company, Col. James Reed's regiment, at Bunker Hill. He was under Col. Benjamin Bellows in the northern campaign, 1777. Oliver Johnson (1760-1816) enlisted, 1775, under Capt. Jacob Hinds and served in the New Hampshire militia, 1777, to reinforce the northern Continental Army. He was born in New Hampshire. Thomas Whitcomb (1736-1824) was pensioned for service as private in Capt. Jacob Hinds' company, Colonel Bedel's New Hampshire regiment. He was born in Littleton, Mass.; died in Norridgwock, Maine.
From my New England Gleanings on the subject. - (Please keep in mind that the DAR has done a remarkable job. They are however rather stuborn. Do not count them as a sole source. - Clif Hinds) At any rate - The New Hampshire State Papers - Revolutionary War Rolls by Hammond listed the following: (Among others) Jacob Hinds, Jacob Hinds,jr. also ANCESTRY.COM REVOLUTIONARY WAR MUSTER ROLL provided: The records in this database were taken from rolls RG93 and M860 in the National Archives.

Thanks for the info on Jacob Hinds. Unfortunately, the one I'm researching was born 14 Jan 1774 and died 12 Oct 1856 in Bristol, Vt. He's buried in Greenwood Cemetery there. Elaine Sturdevant
