Person:Charlotte Hinton (1)

The parentage of Charlotte Hinton, wife of Abraham Hendricks, is not known except that her mother's name was Elizabeth. According to family records Charlotte had a brother Jesse and a brother John.

Previous to 1963 an attempt was made to follow the movements of Jesse from Warren Co., Kentucky, where both he and the Abraham Hendricks family were located in the 1810 census, back into North Carolina.

In North Carolina, Jesse was found in Rockingham County, but proof of his ancestry was not available. The name is common in North Carolina, and we find the given name Jesse in Johnston County. Extensive searches have been made in many counties, but without a will in which Jesse and Charlotte are named, it becomes very difficult, if not impossible, to establish the direct connection. A more thorough search of all counties concerned will be necessary.

It is assumed that it is Charlotte's brother Jesse, who married Elizabeth (Betsy) HENDRICKS. Betsy's parentage and any possible connection to Henry Hendricks or his family is unkown at this time. Jesse and Betsy were the parents of Rev. Samuel Hinton, who married Rebecca Hendricks, and John Hinton, who married Margaret (Polly) Hendricks.
