Born about 1827, Tennessee.^76,a    (or Alabama).^b

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

He married Mary Ann Sanders, Feb 13 1852, Jackson County, Alabama.^76,d,e,f    Mary, daughter of Joseph Sanders, Jr. & Martha Sanders, was born about 1834, Alabama.^b,g,h

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

Jasper was again shown in the 1860 census, Pocahontas Township, Randolph County, Arkansas:^b

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

Agreement made April 3, 1869 and days following.    G. W. N. Stovall, party of the first part, will attempt to collect compensation from the U.S. Government for services rendered in a Home Guard raised under an order of Gen. R. H. Milroy issued Feb. 1st, 1865.    In the event that he succeeds he will pay to each Private ten dollars, each Corporal and C.Q.M. fifteen dollars, to each Sergeant twenty dollars and to each Lieutenant and member of the Committee or Company Court twenty five dollars.    The others, party of the second part, agree to aid in any way by issuing powers of attorney and all such services.    In case of failure of either party to perform as agreed to, each party agrees to pay the other the full sum of one hundred seventy five dollars. Names (among others): G. W. Hinshaw, 2nd Lieutenant (George Washington Hinshaw) Privates: Hinshaw, J. W. (John W. Hinshaw) Hinshaw, W. P. (William P. Hinshaw) Hinshaw, William (unidentified) Hinshaw, James (unidentified) Hinshaw, Jasper Hinshaw, Thomas (unidentified)

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.^m    It seems that the Joseph mentioned was probably Mary Ann's father, Joseph Sanders,.ⁿ    It is unclear why a guardian would have been appointed - it might be concluded that Jasper and his wife might have died before 1867.ⁿ

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