• Notes

  Also Vachel Hinton. Revolutionary War, Virginia militia. (Probably/possibly). A Vachel Hinton who may be this one is listed on the DAR's web site as DAR Ancestor # A055453, with the following information: Service: VIRGINIA Rank: PRIVATE Birth: CIRCA 1737 MARYLAND Death: ANTE 7-4-1825 FLEMING CO KENTUCKY Service Source: GWATHMEY, HIST REG OF VA IN THE REV, P 380 [*] Service Description: 1) ENSIGN WILLIAM COLVIN, MILITIA Residence: VIRGINIA Spouse: (1) MARGARET X (2) NANCY ROY Note: GWATHMEY, HIST REG OF VA etc. would have to be John H. Gwathmey, Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, 1775–1783, first published 1938, reprinted by the Genealogical Publishing Company of Baltimore in 1979. Alternately, Henry C. Peden, Jr., Marylanders to Kentucky 1775-1825, p.72 (Westminister, MD: Heritage Books, 2006) says that "Vachel (Vitchel) HINTON was a native of Maryland and served in the Revolutionary War in Washington County, Pennsylvania." Diana Gale Matthiesen says: "Please note that I believe the Vachel HINTONs are mixed up, in part because there are more of them than supposed--there are at least seven--and that I have not got them sorted out yet. I believe there is a possibility that the Vachel HINTON who married Margaret [HOWARD?] is not the same Vachel HINTON who married Mrs. Nancy ROY because census records show the latter to have been born after 1765 while the former was born ca. 1737. However, other records suggest there was only one Vachel HINTON in the county at this time, so the census record may be in error. I think we should keep an open mind to the possibility that these are two different Vachel HINTONs." ----- Will of Vachel Hinton Will Book C pages 205-207 Fleming County, Kentucky Written 19 Apr 1821 Proved 4 July 1825 In the name of God, Amen, I Vachel Hinton of the County of Fleming and State of Kentucky being of sound mind & memory do make publish & declare this my last will & testament in manner and form following. 1st It is my will and desire that my body be buried in Christian like manner. 2nd I will and bequeath to my daughter Cealy Hinton one bed & bedding (it being the one which she has now made for herself) 3rd I will and bequeath to my wife Nancy the land and premises where on I now live during her natural life and after the death of my said wife Nancy I will and bequeath the land and premises aforesaid to be equally divided between my children and heirs to wit: Hesee Matary, Nelly Matmy, Sarah Trimble, Samuel Hinton, Betsy Browning, Rachiel Carpenter, Benonar Hinton, Hezekiah Hinton, Ceala Hinton, Thomas Hinton and the heirs (jointly) of my son Benjamin Hinton deceased and the heirs (jointly) of my son Eli Hinton deceased. 4th It is my will & desire that after the payments of my just debts & funeral expenses (which is to be out of my personal estate) that my wife have one third of the balance of my said personal estate and the remainder of said personal estate (the bed and bedding devised to my daughter Ceala excepted) to be sold and the proceeds thereof equally divided between my children and heirs as aforesaid.
