Hi: In helping a fellow researcher on the Hines message board, I was hoping that a Hugh Howe Hinds born in CA was connected to my line that came into CA in 1852/53. So, I "did" the censuses on him working from 1930 backwards only to find out that he is not connected to my line that came from Crawford co. AR . But, since I did the work I thought I would send it along for the Hinds archives. If any of you are connected to this line - let me know and I'll connect you with his descendant.

Strange. Note that altho she is head of house, she is marked as married, not divorced or widowed. I went to the CA Death Index at: http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi and found that Hugh Howe Hinds b: Apr 21, 1873 died 1943 in Los Angeles. So, he lived 13 years after the 1930 census when Mary was head of house. Were they separated- divorced? His mother's name was unknown but the maiden name of his wife (Nickolson) is on the death cert. of Hugh C. Hinds, his son, who died in 1980 in Del Norte Co. So, it is Mary Nickolson that has the four different birthplaces for her mother.
