Research Note

The christening record for son John is ten years later than the North Carolina records show for John Hinton who married Mary Hardy. Also, in 1703 the William Hinton was married. The above son William would have only been seven years old in 1703.

There is no such place as “Fullwood Rents, Leyden, Wiltshire, England”. It appears to incorporate two or more garbled pieces of information whose origin one might try to trace in hopes of finding the source of this conflation. Leyden is in Holland in this period. The rest of the place references look to be English. Until a firmer idea of his actual birthplace, this dubious birthplace information has been removed as misleading. Criddington-1, 30 April 2023.
