On Dec 1 1859 William Hinshaw acquired 120 acres of land in Jackson County, Alabama, recorded at the Huntsville land office.

William served as a Private during the Civil War. The following document, showing William's involvement in the Home Guard, was recorded in Jackson County, Alabama, Deed Book 4, pg. 50-52:11
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.

William apparently died before 1860 (in spite of the above document).

It is uncertain who the last child was - the census clearly shows a female named Jane, but this was possibly an error in the census.
