    (William Hinshaw)¹    (William Henshaw)⁴⁶

Born 1837, McMurry County, Tennessee.^1,a    (c1839, Tennessee).^b    William was shown age 13 in the 1850 census, Williamson County, Illinois.^a    He is shown born in Tennessee, although the Hinshaw-Henshaw book states he was born in McMurry County, Tennessee yet there is no such place.

He married Delitha Deaton, Dec 16 1857, Williamson County, Illinois.^46,c    (Martha -)^b    Note: this marriage record is not known for certain to refer to this particular William Henshaw/Hinshaw, but it is believed to be this William since this is the only known Hinshaw/Henshaw family living in the 1850s in Williamson County, Illinois.

William and family were shown in the 1860 census, Williamson County, Illinois:^b

A William Hinshaw, from Williamson County, Illinois (probably this William) served during the Civil War in Company G, 120th Illinois Infantry.^f,g    He enlisted as a private on Aug 22 1862.^g    A Charles E. Hinshaw, also from Williamson County, joined the same unit^f on the very same date^g (this was very probably William's brother Charles).

William Hinshaw died 1869.¹
