Note: Mary Ann Hinton's parentage & biography is speculative. Please see the below Research Notes.
Contents |
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]
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.
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]
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.
