James Carter Hinds b. 1838-05-18
Lucinda Catherine Hinds b. 1839-03-23


Notes:

marriage date from a book of early TN marriages
--
"History of Roane Co TN" by Wells does not show son John Henry.
--
The Kay Lamb book says he second married 1876-12-01 Mary Elizabeth McPherson 1859 d 1923, and that they had 5 children in the 1870s and 1880s. I believe this is not correct.
This John did marry an Elizabeth McPherson, but it was in 1840 and it was her second marriage as well. She was Elizabeth Headrick 1793 Augusta Co VA d/o John Headrick + Mary Blair. Elizabeth was the widow of James Elijah McPherson, whom she married c1814 in Roane Co.
On the 1850 census in Roane Co TN, John is on p392 with wife Elizabeth. Living with them is Samuel A McPherson 14. Next door is James McPherson 22.
Note that Sarah Hickey, first wife of this John, died about 1840.
I think the wife Mary and children belong to John Henry II, son of this John Henry.

Now I'm not so sure. I found this census entry, which confuses me:
1880 census Bledsoe Co TN p26c
John Hines 70 TN/TN/TN
wife Mary E 21 TN/TN/TN
son Crawford 2 TN
sis-in-law M McPherson 14 TN/TN/TN

Did he really marry in his late 60s to a teenager and then have children well into his 70s? That seems hard to believe.

1860 census Roane Co TN p210a
John Hinds 51 TN
Elizabeth 55 VA

1850 census Roane Co TN p392a
John Hinds 36 TN
Elizabeth 52 NC
Mary 15 TN
James 13 TN
Lucinda 12 TN
Samuel A McPherson 14 TN

Who is Samuel? Note that son John Henry II married Mary McPherson.

1840 census Roane Co TN p32
John Hinds Jr 1 M <5, 1 M 5-10, 1 M 20-30, 1 F <5, 1 F 5-10
[James 2, John 8, John 29, Lucinda 1, Mary 5]

Note: He is shown as John Jr because there is another, older John listed on the same page. The older John is really John Jr, son of my John Henry Hinds. My John Henry died in 1811, though, so his son was then referred to as Sr to distinguish him from this John Henry.

It's clear the entry refers to this John, because his brother Calvin is the next entry.
