Biography

Mary Ann Hinton was born about 1635 in Jamestown, James City County, in the English Colony of Virginia. Her father, John Hinton, was NOT the British gentleman, Sir John Hinton, royal physician, but rather was already in Jamestown VA by 1624, as he was on the 1624 "muster" there. He was most-likely a 1st cousin of Sir Dr. John Hinton as the family was a large and important one in the county of Wiltshire, England. Mary Ann was born a Hinton and was not married to Dr. John Hinton, as some have alleged.

Mary Ann's mother was Susan Dilke, daughter of Clement Dilke, also on the 1624 Jamestown muster. The Dilke family intermarried with the Hintons as both were Presbyterian-leaning Protestants.

A recognized source on early Virginia immigrants states that:[1]

"On February 16, 1624, John Hinton was living in urban Jamestown in the household of Clement Dilke, a Burgess (CBE 38)."

They met while he was living with the Dilke family and John married his patron's daughter.

Mary Ann Hinton married Captain Thomas Holliday, (Holladay, Holliday) in Jamestown, Virginia in 1655 at 20 years old. He was 25 years older and no doubt a widower. Their eldest son, William Holliday, aka Halliday, Holloway..., was born in Jamestown, James City County, Virginia, about 1656. Mary Ann (Hinton) Holliday / Halliday also had sons, Thomas, Anthony and John Marshall Halliday.

  1. William HOLIDAY b: 1656 in Jamestown, James City, Virginia
  2. Thomas HALLIDAY
  3. Anthony HALLIDAY - d: 1718 in Isle of Wight, Virginia Colony
  4. John Marshall HALLIDAY

Possible son: Simon Holiday HALLIDAY

Mary Ann Hinton Halliday (Holliday) died on September 13, 1696, in Gloucester County, Virginia (although some sources say Gloucestershire, England, but this is probably a confusion with Gloucester, VA).[2]

Research Notes

There are no sources for any facet of Mary Ann Hinton's life. There are many internet trees for her, but none of them have any sources attached. There are no sources that indicate John Hinton had any children. There is only a single source for John Hinton, which is the residence record cited in the above biography. It does not indicate any family relationship.

The following Colonial Virginia sources have been checked:
Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5: Families G-P. United States: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2004. There is no Mary Ann Hinton or John Hinton listed. There is no Thomas Holliday/Holiday/Holloway/Halliway/Haliday listed.

Greer, George Cabell. 1912. Early Virginia immigrants. Richmond, Va: W.C. Hill Print. Co.
A William Holliday is listed as appearing in 1637 in James City County. Given the date, this would appear to belong to a man that is older than the proposed son William.

Hinton-516 and Hinton-102 appear to represent the same person because: Same vital dates, spouse
posted by Doug Matthews
Correction to notes below: I believe that Mary Anne Hardy and Mary Anne Hinton are the same individual and that she did marry Thomas Halliday / Holliday - however, I believe that it is not the Thomas that either record is currently linked to. Several different sources have documented a conclusion that varies from the Cox records linked below, namely that Mary Anne Hardy, widow of Col. John Hinton, married a Thomas Holliday of North Carolina in 1742. I would encourage the records to be merged and then the spouse data to be changed / deleted to reflect the nearly 100-year difference between the events cited.

Kathie Forbes posted to g2g: "There is no evidence that John Hinton had any descendants. He isn't included in Dorman's "Adventurers of Purse and Person," in the list of qualifying Jamestowne Society ancestors, or in McCartney's "Virginia Immigrants and Adventurers" with any family. He seems to only exist in that one statement that he was alive at the muster. None of the other men named Hinton in Jamestown (Anthony, Elias, Thomas, and Tillman) had a daughter named Mary Ann. Only Thomas had any recorded children that I can find."

Hardy-1882 and Hinton-102 appear to represent the same person because: (notes from research of Linda Cox) Mrs. Mary Anne Hardy Hinton (of Royal and Magna Charta Surety Descent) born about 1635 in Jamestown, James City County, Virginia, married Thomas Holladay / Halliday in 1732 (some say about 1650 or 1652 or 1742) in Jamestown, James City County, Virginia, 2 years after the death of Colonel John Hinton. Mary Anne was the widow of Col. John Hinton who died in 1730, of Chowan (now Gates) Precinct.
