Biography

Land in North Carolina

On March 1, 1763 Zachariah Cox of Rowan Co., North Carolina, cooper, and Mary, his wife, sell to Joseph Hines of the same county for £42 a tract of land on one of the branches of Pole Cat Creek in Rowan Co. containing by estimation 250 acres. It is described by metes and bounds. The boundaries cross the branch and the "Trading Path". The tract was granted to Zarariah Cox by deed from the Rt. Honble John Earl Granville December 6, 1761. (Rowan Co., North Carolina Deed Records 5/355)

In subsequent deeds this tract is said to contain 220 acres and to be on the Old Trading Road and one of the SE forks of Polecat Creek. On March 5, 1770 Joseph Hinds and Susanah Hinds of Rowan County for and in consideration of £5 gave a quit claim deed to Simeon Hinds of the same county for 30 acres on a branch of Polecat Creek. Simeon is Joseph's son, and a subsequent deed indicates that the 30 acres is part of the 220. In his will Joseph Hinds bequeaths all of his land to his 3 sons, Simeon, Levi, and John, after the death or remarriage of his wife. On March 21, 1775 a fourth son, Joseph Hinds, purchases the 30 acre tract from Simeon for £19. On February 12, 1775 Joseph purchases the interest of Simeon and Levi in the 220 acres for 5 shillings.

The 220 acre tract is in what is now Randolph Co., North Carolina, which was created February 26, 1799 from the southern third of Guilford Co., which was formed in 1771 from Orange Co. on the east and Rowan on the west. For more details concerning these transactions see notes under Joseph Hinds the son.

Research Notes

NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES e-mailed Bev about JOSEPH HINDS

1. There is our online database Colonial Marriages, 1665 – 1799, but we do not find any Joseph Hinds listed. There are No New Jersey Secretary of State’s Deeds, 1670 – 1785 for Joseph Hinds.
2. You may want to hire a professional researcher to search for local church records. There may be church marriage records or baptismal records for their children, which would name his wife. Church records may be held by each local church or by their regional denominational archives. The New Jersey State Archives does not collect church records. You can find a listing of professional researchers on the website of the Genealogical Society of New Jersey. --Also on the website of the New York Metro Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
3. You may also want to search for cemetery records, for tombstones of a Ruth Hinds, died pre 1761.
4. Since you are researching in Morris County, you may want to contact the Morristown and Morris Township Free Public Library, which has an extensive “North Jersey History & Genealogy Center".

Hi I have information about the following. Some info said Rutha born in North Carolina & some say New Jersey - BUT IF she was born in N.C. how did she get to New Jersey to meet Joseph:

Someone at My Heritage says:

Rutha Hinds I (born Higgins)

Direct ancestor (7 generations)

Birth: 1715 - Guilford Co., North Carolina, USA

Death: 1758 - Rowan Co., North Carolina, USA

Parents: Baldwin HIGGINS and Ann HIGGINS (born Cullimore)

Husband: Joseph Simeon Hinds I

Children: Charity, Hannah, Joseph, Joseph Simeon JR, Simeon, Levi, John Henry and Mary

At first it was thought Joseph was a son of James III Hinds, but this is wrong.

Another researcher sends:

James Hinds of Elizabeth Town who died in 1731 left a six acre tract of salt meadow to his son, Joseph. Joseph Hinds who died in 1766, and whose will was probated in NJ, included in his will a six acre tract of salt meadow that he got from his father.

Our Joseph died in 1771, and his will was probated in NC.

In addition, Y-DNA of Joseph's descendants does not match a descendant of James Hinds the immigrant.
