Eli Hinshaw     [ID 04534]

Click here to switch to Ahnentafel view:

Born about 1789, Surry County, North Carolina.⁴  

He married Phebe Vestal^5,6,7 [Phoebe A. Vestal⁸], Mar 20 1816^5,6,7, Surry County, North Carolina^5,6,7.  A marriage bond was recorded for Eli Hinshaw & Phebe Vestal on Mar 20, 1816, Surry County, North Carolina.⁶  

Phebe, daughter of Jesse Vestal & Martha Cassady, was born Jan 9 1801, Surry County, North Carolina.^9,10,11  

Eli moved to Franklin County, Tennessee in 1830.⁴  

Eli and family were shown in the 1830 census, Franklin County, Tennessee:¹²

Eli and family were shown in the 1840 census, Panola County, Mississippi:¹³

Eli was shown in the 1841 Mississippi state census, Panola County, Mississippi:¹⁴

Note: the children shown are uncertain.  From the letters of Betsy Hinshaw Pippin it can be established that the above children were siblings, but their connection to Eli & Phebe as their parents is less certain.  The only "source" making this connection is from the "LDS Pedigree Resource File", which shows Betsy Hinshaw Pippin was a daughter of Eli & Phebe³ (but the "LDS Pedigree Resource File" is just a collection of user submissions and therefore is far from strong evidence).  There is some speculation that the above children might instead be children of Jesse Hinshaw #134.¹⁵  Note: The death certificate for John A. Hinshaw #10174 does indeed show his father was a Jesse Hinshaw/Henshaw.
