Individual Details

Mary "Polly" Hinton

(29 May 1788 - 23 Jul 1852)



FindAGrave Memorial #123051008. Also lists siblings, and proposed father. No proof of these relationships and I very much suspect they are incorrect.
One sibling - Elizabeth Hinton Watters - seems to be very wrong, read more later.
Bradford Hinton, b. 1798, GA, died 1888, Hunt, TX. No grave but said to have left a will.
William Hinton, b. 16 Oct 1802, Wilkes, GA, died 1847, Walton, GA, buried there, Good Hope Cemetery - he is listed twice with very different dates - the second states he was born 1812 in GA, died maybe 1864 in TX during the Civil War; said to have gone to Hunt Co, TX - this one seems more likely to fit in the family.
Orrie Cox Hinton, b. 17 Dec 1807, Oglethorpe Co, d. 20 Jan 1844, Henry Co. Married William Lamb Tuggle
Martha Hinton, b. 12 Jan 1810, d. 10 Nov 1874, buried Summerville Cemetery, Chattooga Co, GA
Wiley P. Hinton, b. 1820, Clarke, GA, d. 1873 Chattooga Co, GA. No burial known. Served as a Private in Capt Hawkins' Co, Culberson's Battalion, GA Cavalry. Present 19 Sep 1863 on muster roll. Note: Detailed as Overseer.
John Hinton, b. 1823, Wilkes, GA, d. 1864, TX. burial unknown

FamilySearch has parents for Mary - Jacob Hinton, born about 1764 in North Carolina, died 29 Oct 1835, Fulton Co, GA, and Mary Bradford, b. 7 Nov 1770, Henry Co, GA (doubtful!), d. 1850 Campbetton, Fulton, GA. Way too many children.

Jacob made NO provision for any daughter named Mary in his will and she was very much alive. I suspect this is NOT her father.

Another daughter of Jacob Hinton:
Elizabeth Hinton was born during 1812 in Johnston County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Jacob Hinton (born 1768 in Johnston County, North Carolina, died during 1835 in Campbell County, Georgia) and Mary Bradford (born 1770 in Georgia). She married John Green (born 1802 in Johnston County, North Carolina) and the family moved to the Carolina-Richmond area of Itawamba County at an early date.
Her children included: Wiley (born 1832), Malachi (born 1835 in Alabama), George William (born September 9, 1837), James I. (born 1840), D. Ransom (born August 5, 1844 in Itawamba County), Mary A. (born 1850 in Itawamba County), General Washington (born February 12, 1852 in Itawamba County and Sarah C. (born January 5, 1855 in Itawamba County).
Elizabeth’s grandparents were Malachi Hinton (born about 1740 in Chowan County, North Carolina) and Sarah Wimberly (born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina).
Elizabeth’s husband was the son of John Green and Welthya Moore. John Green and Elizabeth Hinton are buried in the old Carolina Cemetery in southwestern Itawamba County.

NOTE: FindAGrave has "adopted" a very different Elizabeth Hinton, b. 1786, d. 1872, Talladega Co, AL, married name "Watters" as the daughter of Jacob - I believe this is just plain WRONG.

Son Bradford:
Bradford was born in Clarke County, Georgia in 1798 to Jacob Hinton Sr. and Mary Polly Bradford. He was the third born of 14 known surviving children (7 boys/7 girls). By 1802 the family had moved into Wilkes County and relocated again in about 1806 to Walton County. On 14 Nov 1822, Bradford married Patience Hulday Lucre in Henry County, Georgia. This was the first recorded marriage in this newly formed county. They settled in what was then Campbell County (Douglas and Fulton today) and lived there for the next thirty years, farming over 1000 acres on the west side of the Chattahoochee River.
Patience passed away in 1854. He had deeded an acre of land to the New Hope Baptist Church for a cemetery when his mother died in 1850. In 1856, he and all but one of his children and their families loaded up and headed west. They finally arrived in Claiborne Parrrish, Louisiana and lived there for about two years. In 1858, they decided to migrate yet again, three sons and four daughters, continuing west to Texas. Bradford and five sons headed north to Hempstead County, Arkansas. He purchased a section of land and began building a home and farming. He also built the schoolhouse at Patmos, as well as a women's college and the Hinton Methodist Church.
When the War of Northern Aggression began in 1861, six of his sons enlisted, the youngest being too young. One was killed in Virginia and another severely wounded in the Battle of Corinth. As it was with most everyone in the South, his family was left financially devastated. The reconstruction years were a difficult time for everyone.
Most all researchers of this family have erroneously concluded that Bradford died in Arkansas. For some unknown reason, he does not appear in the 1870 or 1880 census. He had moved to Hunt County, Texas in the late 1860's where the other part of his family had settled. He purchased land there and before his death deeded it to my great great grandfather, Franklin, and his brother, Martin. They traveled down there together and both sold their land. Many years ago, my father showed me a copy of the land deed transfer and where they had sold it. Bradford died there in 1888, at the age of 90. The exact location of his burial remains unknown to me.
