Individual Details

Hinchia's name is found in many variations. It is apparently a corruption of his maternal grandmother's family name, Henshaw. Both Hinchia and his brother Charles were underage when their father's will was probated in Surry County in 1712, which left each of them one half of a patent on Fountain Creek which their father Francis had entered.

He was apparently born about 1697 as he gave his age as 31 in a disposition in 1728.

Hinchia's first wife was Frances Parham, and he probably married her about 1719-1720 when he bought the following 100 acres from Charles & Frances Giliiam.

That he married Frances, daughter of Ephraim Parham & Frances Green is proved by the will of Ephraim Parham, 7 Apr 1726 in Surry County which names his wife as Frances, nee Green, his daughter Frances, wife of "Hanchey" Mabry, and granddaughter Elizabeth Mabry. The will was probated in Surry Court 15 Jun 1726.

Joshua Mabry was appointed administrator of the estate of Hinchia Mabry on 28 Jul 1761, so apparently Hinchia died intestate. Inventory & appraisal was returned 27 Arp 1762 by John Maclin, Edward Goodriche, & Frederick Maclin. The inventory included 14 slaves, 6 horses, 64 head of hogs, 33 head of cattle and a bull, 14 head of sheep, 3 goats, plus his furniture, etc - total value was over 1000#'s.

Frances Parham, the first wife, was undoubtedly the mother of the first seven children - an eight child likely did with his mother. Ann was the daughter of Ann Clack Courtney & Hinshia Mabry.

Henry Jackson's son, Henry Jr. married Ann Mabry, daughter of Hinchia Mabry and his third wife Anne Clack Counrtney, probably about 1765. Anne Clack is said to be the daughter of the Rev. James Clack and his 1st wife Jane Bolling. The will of Ann Clack Courtney Mabry was dated 2 May 1763 and proved in 1772. She named her daughter Ann Mabry as sole legatee with Joshua Mabry [stepson] and Clack Courtney [son by her 1st marriage] and John Pettway as Executors. By the time of the probate in 1772, Ann had married Henry Jackson Jr and they sued Joshua Mabry to recover Ann's share of slaves and their issue left by Hinchia Mabry. Joshua was ordered to deliver all slaves except David & Hall now in possession of Ephraim Mabry [Joshua's brother] to Henry Jackson.
