(Deed & Will Abstracts of Stafford County, 1699-1709, pp. 173- 176) Edmond Henson appears among "Names Extracted from Northern Neck Land Grants, Surveys & Transfers for Stafford County to Ca 1780." He is listed in 1729 as living on Accotinct Creek. Edmund Hinson appeared in the court records in December 1733. He submitted a bill to the estate of John Toward for money owed him. His name appeared on the Quit Rent Roll of 1742, as having 150 acres. He died on November 13, 1742, according to the Overwharton Parish Register. On May 10 of that year his estate was inventoried by William Mills, John Wheeler, and John Payton. (WB M, p.360) Edmond's wife was Elizabeth, last name unknown. We assume that Edmond and Elizabeth married about 1720, for the known children were born after that. If this is so, then Edmond was about 38 years old at the time, and Elizabeth much younger. Elizabeth died in 1761, and her will was submitted for probate on December 8, 1761: (Will Abstracts Stafford Co., Va. 1748-1767, by Sparacio) Here, then, are the children of Edmond and Elizabeth Hinson in the order as presented in Charles Hinson's will: 1. Joseph Henson, named for his grandfather, was probably born about 1721 in Stafford County. He settled in Culpeper County for a time. According to Henson Pioneers by Leslie Henson, Joseph came from Culpeper County to North Carolina after 1770, settled in Randolph County, later Rutherford County. 2. Isabella "Isabel" Hinson probably was born about 1723. She married James Yelton on November 13, 1743. (Parish Register) According to Jeffrey Duvall, a descendant, Isabel and James Yelton had the following children: Charles G., James, Ann, Mary, William and Amelia. Isabel died on February 13, 1781, in Stafford County. 3. Mary Henson was born about 1725. She married Henry Threlkeld on November 3, 1748. (Parish Register) They settled in Culpeper County and are ancestors of this writer. 4. Lazarus Hinson was born about 1727. Court records indicate his wife was Sarah. William Allason, a Scotch merchant in Falmouth, Stafford County, kept detailed accounting records, which listed customer relationships. He noted in ledgers B through G that Mrs. Sarah Hinson was "sister to Snodel Lathem." Hence, we believe that Sarah Hinson was nee Lathem. This helps explain the will of Elizabeth Hinson (see above) and the naming of some Lathems as heirs. They were in-laws. Lazarus and Sarah Hinson's known children are: (1) Elizabeth was born on March 31, 1753. (Parish Register) (2) Sarah was born on November 21, 1755. Perhaps there were others too. On May 22, 1762, "We the subscribers met & prais'd Laz. Hinsons Dec'd estate in current money..." The appraisers were will Routt, George Bell and James Bell. (WB O, 487-488) 5. Ann Hinson was born about 1729. She married George Bell on April 15, 1745. 3. Joseph HENSONBorn ± 1684 at Stafford Co., VA 4. Charles HENSONBorn ± 1686 at Stafford Co., VA | |||
