He married Nancy Ellen McCracken, about 1856.^5,7,8 Nancy, daughter of Henry McCracken & Mary Yates, was born Aug 16 1834, Indiana.^2,5,7,9

At Richland MM on 10-9-1856, Benjamin was released as he had married contrary to discipline.¹

Benjamin and family were shown in the 1860 census (Jun 25 1860), Richland Township, Keokuk County, Iowa:⁹

Benjamin and Nancy lived on a home three miles south of Richland, Iowa, being that of the late Sumner McCracken.⁸

Benjamin and family were shown in the 1870 census (Jun 2 1870), Richland Township, Keokuk County, Iowa:¹¹

It has been written that Benjamin and family migrated in 1886 to Kansas, with son Tillman remaining in Iowa and living near Woolson.⁸ However the 1880 census data (below) seems to contradict that report - it appears that Benjamin and family migrated to Kansas sometime about 1880.^2,12

Benjamin and family were shown in the 1880 census (Jun 29 1880), Center Township, Smith County, Kansas:²

Benjamin and family were shown in the 1895 Kansas state census, Banner Township, Smith County, Kansas:¹³

Note that there is apparently an error in the abstracts of the records of Richland MM ("The William Wade Hinshaw Index to [Iowa] Quaker Meeting Records"): The children of Benjamin Hinshaw and Nancy McCracken are shown associated with Benjamin Hinshaw and Nancy Carter, in error.¹ There is no evidence that Benjamin Hinshaw #375 and Nancy Carter were ever members of Richland MM.
