Benjamin Hinshaw died 1840, Chatham County, North Carolina.
1 According to the dates in (1) the Hinshaw book, he woul
d have been 102 years old at his death!
Not only is the 1840 death date questionable because of hi
s then exceptional lifespan, but also Benjamin appears to h
ave died before 1817b as he did not sign the marriage certi
ficate for his daughter Abigail in 1817,217 as was customa
ry and would have been expected. An unidentified Elizabet
h Hinshaw did sign daughter Abigail's marriage certificate,
217 so perhaps Elizabeth, who would have been 67 years ol
d in 1817, might have lived beyond that year (although it m
ight have been a different Elizabeth Hinshaw who signed th
e certificate).
