Ahijah Goldsmith Hinshaw^2,3,6,7 [Abijah Goldsmith Hinshaw^8,9,10,11,12, Isaac G. Hinshaw¹³, Goldie Hinshaw¹].

Although the Quaker record abstracts show his name as "Abijah", he has always been known within the family as "Ahijah".^4,6  This was probably due to an error in the abstracts^8,9 - the original Quaker record books were handwritten and possibly hard to read, and it was probably easy to mistake a 'b' for an 'h'.  

Born Jun 20 1865^{1,2,3,4,7,8,10,11,12} [about 1863¹³], Holly Spring MM, North Carolina^{1,2,3,4,7,8,10,11,12}.
