Notes for William HINSON
William remained in North Carolina until after 1835. He then migrated to Alabama, and it is said that he made the entire trip from North Carolina to Alabama on horseback. 472
Arriving at what was then known as Centreville (nowTroy), William worked for about a year with a Mr. Silas Lee, about two miles west of the city. At the time of his arrival, all lands were public and the settlers were few and far apart. Among the neighbors at that time were William Rushing, Esq., (William Rushing's daughter, Lucinda, later married William Hinson's son, Asbury), Edward Wilson, David Coskrey, Cornelius Smart, James Corbit, Thomas King, and Holley Goff. It is interesting to note that one EdwardWilson, Sr. was in Columbus Co., N.C. and witnessed a deed between Joshua Hinson and Joseph Watters in 1823 (Deed Book D, p. 124, Columbus Co., N.C.). It is probable that William went to Pike County because he already had friends there. 472
On 14 December 1839, William was married to Martha Ann Pugh, daughter of Mastin Pugh, a well-to-do farmer and slave holder. They settled on public land three miles west of Centreville in Sec. 35, Township 10, Range 20. William and Martha accrued a fine farm and lived there for fift years, raising a family of two sons, Mastin Asbury and Everett Eli, and three daughters, Rita Ann, Caroline, and Nancy Jane.
William and Martha were membersof the Primitive BaptistChurch, William having been baptized by Elder SolomonReaves at Beaverdam Church, Columbus Co., N.C. (From Columbus Co., N.C. Recollections and Records, edited by Ann Courtney Ward Little, we learned that "Solomon Reaves was a large landowner and preacher. He spoke at churches and tent meetings through out the territory. Apparently he was the best known preacher in the area. His services were in great demand.") William transferred his letter to the Beulah Primitive Baptist Church in Troy, August 4, 1838, and Martha Ann joined by "experience" on October 4, 1849. William maintained an unspotted Christian character and never was he known to indulge in habits of general dissipation or profanity. 472
William was a democrat all of his life and was true to the principles of that party. 472
