After checking a few published land sources for your Christopher Hinton, and not finding him (although there are other Hinton) I suggest you go to the The Randolph County Historical Society at 223 N. Clark in Moberly. They have the early deed records on Microfilm. Hours: Monday10-12, Thursday 1-3, Saturday 9-12. There is often someone there other times by chance. Phone 660-263-9396. Randolph County Court House in Huntsville, Missouri is another possibility. They have all the indexes to the Deed Books from the formation of the county in 1829 (same as the microfilm). The first 3 deed books were lost in a fire many years ago, but the Indexes to those books survive and have information on the grantee, grantor and location of property. Hope this helps. Cecy
