Biography

Richard passed away before 1742.

In 1733, he served as a witness to the will of John Roads or Rhoads, the father-in-law of Richard's daughter Naomi.

Research Notes

If born about 1658, he could be the Richard Hinman of Accomack, Virginia in the 1676 tithables list. Or he may be the son/nephew of an older man:

In 1706, John Roads transferred property to a brother-in-law, John Hinman, husband of John Roads's sister, Patience. Could this be a brother or cousin of Richard?
