He married Elizabeth Davis, Jun 3 1856, Forsyth County, North Carolina.^44,a    (Elizabeth H. Sprinkle)^a,c,d    (May 28 1856).^e    Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Sprinkle & Elizabeth Apperson, was born Oct 23 1819, Stokes County, North Carolina.^a,f,g,h,i,e

Elizabeth was shown in the 1860 census (Aug 31 1860), Bethania P.O., Forsyth County, North Carolina:^f,g

Note that James was not shown with his wife and child in the 1860 census.    This might indicate that he had died before 1860,^k however the obituary of his brother John David Hinshaw states that he was still living in North Carolina as of 1926.^b    It is possible that James might have abandoned Elizabeth or perhaps they were legally separated or divorced.^k

Elizabeth was again shown in the 1870 census (Jul 25 1870) living in the household of Bennett & Rebecca L. Sprinkle:^l,h
