| Notes |
- James Hinton was born about 1785 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He was living on 1 March 1823 in Fauquier County, Virginia.
On this date he purchased land on Carter's Run next to Augustine Ball and Dulin's saw mill from John Dulin, Mary's uncle. The deed of conveyance when this land was purchased indicated that John Dulin had purchased the land from George B. Pickett. He was living on 23 January 1835 in Rappahannock County, Virginia.61
On this date James and Mary Hinson purchased 16 acres of land from Charles Kemper in Fauquier County on Carter's Run. In this deed it is shown that James and Mary Hinson were then of Rappahannock County (which had only in 1833 been formed from Culpeper County) James was living on 27 March 1835 in Rappahannock County, Virginia.61
On this date a deed was executed by James and Mary Hinson of Rappahannock County to Thomas Ingram for 107 and 1/4 acres of the same land on Carter's Run. He was living on 25 March 1841 in Rappahannock County, Virginia.53
On this date James and Mary Hinson purchased from William C. and Elizabeth Jane Scott (their daughter) 42 acres of land, lying immediately south of Hinson's Mill adjoining the Hedgman's (Rappahannock) River and George Dulin's (Mary's brother) land. He died in January 1863 in Amissville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. James was buried in January 1863 in Amissville, Rappahannock County, Virginia.
He served in the military War of 1812 in 44th Regiment and 41st Regiment, Virginia, (Branhams and Paynes), Arlington, Virginia.
James Hinson served in the war of 1812 during the period when the British sacked the Capitol and White House. He was stationed at Arlington, Virginia. He received two land warrants for this service, 40 acres and 80 acres. It is not known what disposition he made of these warrants, nor where the land acquired was located.
Order of children as to age was deduced by order in which children were listed in will of James Hinson, supra.

It is not known what disposition he made of these warrants, nor where the land acquired was located.
The 1860 Census shows James Hinson's real estate as being valued at $10,000 and his personal property at $6,725!
Tax lists in 1850 Rappahannock County, shows that James Hinson had on the tax rolls, three tracts of land, 105 1/4, adjacent E. Griffin, 13 1/4 on N. River, and 42 acres adjacent E. Griffin. This was before he had purchased the 64 acres at the trustees sale mentioned under the John G. Hinson notes.
James Hinson at the time of his death was possessed of a considerable estate. Disputes arose between his children who migrated before the Civil War to Missouri and those who stayed in Virginia. Settlement of the disposition of the land in the estate was not settled until many years later. Some of the children were deceased by that time and distribution of the monies realized from the sale went to the grandchildren.
The Hinson property was close around the Hinson's Mill, and on the north side of the Hinson Mill Road on what is now called "Scotia" a beautiful horse farm. According to Circuit Records at the time of his death, he owned 595 acres, 425 being in Rappahannock and 170 in Fauquier Counties, (which was occupied by his oldest son, George,) remarkable fact, considering that he lost his father while very young and was raised solely by his mother, in addition to being bonded out as a servant while still a juvenile. He apparently inherited nothing upon the death of his grandfather, Robert Hinson, in 1803. Possibly his marriage to Mary Dulin helped him get started. For that day and time, taking note of the fact that in the year of his death, 1863, there was a war going on and armies were passing through the Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, almost at will, it was commendable that his personal property apparently was kept in tact.
Hinson's Mill on the Rappahannock River near Amissville was the site of the crossing of Confederate troops under General Stonewall Jackson en route to the second Battle of Manassas on or about 25 August, 1862. This mill was later destroyed by a flood. Before Bushrod Hinson migrated to Missouri, he was the Miller at the mill, according to the 1850 census of Rappahannock Co.
A deed recorded in Rappahannock County, Book C, p. 511 on 9 March 1840 from John Cropp, et al. to James Hinson, may indicate the second tract of land purchased by James Hinson in Rappahannock County, and will probably be found to be just west of the Henry Grigsby survey.
No deed records have been obtained for the purchase of the mill site, formerly called Briggs or Rector's Mill, and subsequently Hinson's Mill, which, according to the 1850 tax list in Rappahannock County was 13 and 1/4 acres.
On 9 September 1845, he purchased from Henry N and Frances F Grigsby, of Clark County, Virginia, 66 acres of land out of the Henry Grigsby survey, this land being tract No. 4 next to the dower interest of Frances Grigsby, widow. This tract adjoins Hinson's Mill Road.
Bill and Lenora Henson have seen field stones on the property just south of Hinson's Mill, which was apparently that sold by William C. Scott and Elizabeth Jane, which stones are the markers of a very old cemetery. However, it is believed that James Hinson would not have marked graves with field stones, but with marble. At the time of the deaths of the close members of his family, he was a fairly affluent person. [It is possible that the Hinsons were Quakers. This religious group does not believe in ceremony or ritual and none of their members have a tombstone.]
There are many cemeteries in Rappahannock County today which have marble tombstones erected during the period before and after the Civil War. The most likely place for the Hinson cemetery would be the north side of the road on the first farm acquired, and which it appears is on or immediately east of the farm called, "Scotia".
The executors sale on 24 March 1863 disposed of considerable personal property, including three slaves: Lewis, Martha, and Ann. The total proceeds from the sale were $12, 947 of which over $4,000 was for the three slaves. The man and one woman were purchased by Albert R. Singleton, his son-in-law. It is not known whether the dollar denominations were in currency of the Commonwealth of Virginia or The Confederate States of America. It is unlikely that the proceeds were in US currency. In any event, the sum bid for the slaves seems unreasonable in view of the fact that on January 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Perhaps the bidders felt it was ineffective as to them. Among the bidders at the executor's sale were James Jeffries, Albert R. Singleton, George Hinson, and Smith Tharp, the husband of Narcissa (Cecy) Hinson. John G. Hinson was by far and above the largest bidder.
It is also questionable whether the sums bid were ever paid or distributed to all of the heirs, especially as about half of them were living away from Virginia and there was a war going on. Obviously, the ravages of war had not yet struck around Amissville.
The land of James Hinson was not sold at the executor's sale. In 1876 a new survey was made of the Hinson land, and division boundaries were outlined on the various tracts to be conveyed to the heirs. In 1887 the records show that Joseph A. Jeffries had purchased previously 27 acres from what was later determined to be his mother's interest and that because of this he was allotted another 43 acres out of a 72 acre tract by the Court. It appears that Joseph A. Jeffries purchased from the estate, previously, 70 or 73 acres, and that in this tract was 27 acres which tract was actually that portion inherited by this mother. No record has been found in the deed records, however, that such a purchase was recorded. This tract most likely was that which was the homestead of James Hinson, and that Mary Margaret Hinson Jeffries, being the oldest daughter, still living in Virginia, would have liked that for her own. At the time of the death of James Hinson, his holdings on the north side of the Hinson's Mill Road ran for about 240 poles or 3/4 of a mile or more from the river. The distance to the river the Amissville-Warrenton road was 2 miles.
In 1876, the Circuit Court Records show that there were 336 acres remaining in the estate in Rappahannock County; that is, 425, less 73, less the Mill tract which had been sold to a John Amiss of approximately 16 acres. By then, according to papers written between 1863 and 1867, it is indicated that Bushrod and Alcinda Hinson Darnell were deceased.
Jim Ball: "Charles is said to have been robbed and murdered in the late 1700s while on a trip "west" to buy a farm. He is not connected directly with the Robert Hinson family of Licking Run in Fauquier though there may be a relationship."
Related to the Millers of Howard Co., Missouri Mary "Polly" DULIN and James [Madison?] "Madi" HINSON were married on 30 December 1806 in Fauquier County, Virginia.63
Polly Dulin, daughter of William and Elizabeth, and James Hinson, Dec. 30, 1806, Edw. Dulin, bondsman.
Actual marriage date was probably a few days later, so might have been Jan 1807
13. Mary "Polly" DULIN14,56,58,64,65 was born in 1788 in Fauquier County, Virginia. She died before 1850 in Rappahannock County, Virginia.
In the Census of 1840, Rappahannock Co., VA the wife of James Hinson is shown living and being between 50 and 60 years of age. In the 1850 census she is not shown. She is shown to be the daughter of William Dulin, Jr. and her mother as Elizabeth Glasscock Dulin, the daughter of Peter Glasscock, Sr. Records of Fauquier Co. and the Glasscock-Glassco Saga by Lawrence Glassco reflect that William Dulin, Sr. obtained a lease of land near Upperville in northern Fauquier Co. in the mid 1700's and that also Peter Glasscock moved into that area in about 1760.
They were apparently in that area a number of years until Peter Glasscock moved to Rowan County, N. C. in about 1782, leaving behind his daughter Elizabeth Glasscock Dulin, the wife of William Dulin, Jr., as well as the other children of his first marriage to a Jane. No other Dulin families are known to have lived in the area of northern Fauquier Co. at that same time, thus the presumption that the mother of Mary Dulin was Elizabeth Glasscock, not Stone. The Jeffries connection with William Dulin being the descendants of William Dulin, Jr. and Elizabeth Stone appears to be accurate, in that it is consistent that they were from the first marriage of William Dulin, Jr. The Glasscock-Glassco Saga also mentions that some of the Dulins moved from Fauquier Co. to Rowan Co., N.C. at the same time as the Glasscocks. The identities of these Dulins are not known now (1993).
