Biography

"Elizabeth Hinton was born in Logan County KY in 1787 to John and Margaret Devers Hinton and married Samual E Alexander on 28 April 1808 in Logan County KY. They were farmers in SC and KY until her death in 1834. "

Family Notes

"The second item is that, on April 22, 1808, in Logan County, Samuel Alexander married Elizabeth Hinton, and we can establish through deeds, censuses, and other records that this Samuel was Samuel E. Alexander, the son of Matthew’s and William’s older brother, James Jr. Apparently, while his parents were still in Spartanburg County, SC, Samuel made the journey to western KY to visit or live with one of his uncles. It seems to have been usual in those days that, if one member of the family had married into another family, there would be more marriages between members of the two families. In any case, by 1812 or 1813, Samuel and Elizabeth retraced his path as far east as Roane County, TN, where they settled near his parents and raised a large family. Samuel and Elizabeth named their oldest daughter, born 1809 in Logan County, Esther, probably Hettie's real name(5.4), and they named their oldest son, born in 1813, John Hinton. Both facts support the inference that John Hinton, who died in 1809, was likely the father of both Hettie and Elizabeth."[1]

Prdie is an incorrect last name at birth for this individual. LNAB should be Hinton. Elizabeth Hinton was apparently confused with Elizabeth Pridie who married Charles Hinton. They are different women.
