Jasper was shown in the 1850 census, living in the household of Jesse Dean, La Fayette Township, Ouachita County, Arkansas:³

He married Mary Ann Sanders, Feb 13 1852, Jackson County, Alabama.^1,5,6,7 Mary, daughter of Joseph Sanders, Jr. & Martha Sanders, was born about 1834, Alabama.^2,8,9

On Dec 1 1859 Jasper Hinshaw acquired 79.67 acres of land in Jackson County, Alabama, recorded at the Huntsville land office.¹⁰ The land patent described him as "Jasper Hinshaw of Jackson County, Alabama".¹¹ On the same date land patents were also issued to Newton Hinshaw, George W. Hinshaw, and William Hinshaw.

Jasper and family were shown in the 1860 census (Sep 10 1860), Pocahontas Township, Randolph County, Arkansas:²

Jasper and family were shown in the 1866 Alabama state census, Jackson County:¹³

After the Civil War Jasper served as a Private in the Alabama Home Guard. The following document, showing Jasper's involvement in the Home Guard, was recorded in Jackson County, Alabama, Deed Book 4, pg. 50-52:¹⁴

On Oct 1 1867 in Jackson County, Alabama Probate Court, John G. Sanders was appointed guardian of George W., Mary, M. F., & Martha Hinshaw, heirs of Joseph.¹⁵ It seems that the Joseph mentioned was probably Mary Ann's father, Joseph Sanders,.¹⁶ It is unclear why a guardian would have been appointed - it might be concluded that Jasper and his wife might have died before 1867.¹⁶

Jasper might have also been married to a Georgiana --; see Elizabeth Henshaw #16508 who might be an additional child.
