    (Richard Hinshaw)^2,45,205,a    (Robert Henshaw)^b

Born 7-2-1814, Lost Creek MM, Jefferson County, Tennessee.^2,45,c    (c1810).^d

At Newberry MM on 3-5-1836, Richard was granted a certificate to Union MM, Ohio.²

He married Serena Coats, Miami County, Ohio.^205,e    Serena, daughter of William+Charlotte Coats, was born in 1822.²⁰⁵

At Union MM, Ohio on 7-16-1845, Richard was received on a certificate from Newberry MM, Tennessee, dated 5-3-1836² (what could have caused the long delay between 1836 and 1845??!).

Serena died Nov 6 1846, buried Clark Cemetery, White County, Indiana.²⁰⁵

At Union MM on 9-15-1848, Richard was disowned² (reason unknown).

Richard crossed the plains with the gold rush of 1849, and after spending a few years in California returned to the East, settling in Indiana prior to the outbreak of the Civil War.    Assuming contracts for digging ditches, he worked all through the northern part of White County, Indiana.^a

Richard was shown in the 1850 census (Feb 4 1851), apparently living in a mining camp, Mosquito Canion, El Dorado County, California:^d

Catharine died 1857, buried Clark Cemetery, White County, Indiana.²⁰⁵

He then married Mary A. Eaves, Mar 31 1857, White County, Indiana.^b,g    (Maryann Eves)^h    (Mary (Hickman) Eves)²⁰⁵    (Mary Ann Hickman)^i,205,a    Mary was born about 1827, Kentucky.^h,c

Mary Ann had been previously married to a Madison Eves/Eaves^h (1843, Carroll County, Kentucky),ⁱ by whom she had children William T.,^h,c George P.,^h Nancy E.,^h,c Martha F.,.^h    and Samuel^c Eves/Eaves.

Richard and family were shown in the 1860 census (Jun 22 1860), Liberty Township, White County, Indiana:^c

Richard Hinshaw died Oct 5 1861, buried Clark Cemetery, White County, Indiana.^205,a

After Richard died his young children seem to have been sent to various different homes.    Son John was shown in the 1870 census living in the household of Richard's brother William;^k son Richard was shown in the 1870 census living in the household of Mary Ann's daughter, Nancy (Eaves) Furguson;^l Mary Ann's son Samuel Eaves was shown in the 1870 census living (working) in the household of a William & Mary Hays.^m    [It *appears* that Mary Ann might have remarried to William Hays, as her age in the 1870 census, 46, matches other census records for her, and she was shown with Samuel Eves].
