Hi: This website was sent to another list. I am pasting the Hinds below but you might want to try your other surnames. It is at: http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/pensions/index.html Note the unusual name - Woods Hinds. Could it be Hinds Woods? Either way it is an unusual name. I am pasting the Hinds/Hines below but there are also Haines and Haynes on the index that you should look through also.

I could've sworn that I ran across someone who was named "Woods County [surname]" or something of that sort -- in any case, someone who was named after a particular county. There is a Woods County in Oklahoma. However, I'm not certain of the county, nor of which surname it's attached to -- I'll take a look at my database when I get home tonight. Meanwhile, thanks for the very useful link. -- Mel Nan Wolf wrote: >This website was sent to another list. I am pasting the Hinds below but >you might want to try your other surnames.
