Born about 1749.^3,140    Thomas' birth date has been variously reported to be c1749, c1737, or c1740.    A newspaper article once even claimed Thomas was a twin of brother William (whose exact birth date is also unknown).⁵

The Cane Creek MM records show that on 1-5-1765 Thomas & Joseph Hinshaw were received on a certificate (not mentioning from where).    Presumably this refers to this Thomas as his brother was Joseph.²

A few months later, on 6-1-1765, Thomas Hinshaw was granted a certificate to Pennsylvania, presumably this Thomas since his father Jacob was living in Pennsylvania at the time.²

He married Hannah Seasfield, 1766.^42,60    (Elinor Seafield)^140,183    Hannah was born about 1745.^42,140

On 10-11-1766, the Warrington MM recorded:⁴²

"Thomas Hinshaw is joined in marriage with a young woman not of our society by a magistrate."

Thomas Hinshaw died May 26 1825, Surry County, North Carolina; buried Deep Creek Friends Cemetery, Yadkin County, North Carolina.^42,140,141

Hannah died 1835, aged ninety.^42,140
