biography, from Goodspeed:

J. C. Hinds, a farmer and butcher at Rockwood, was born in 1837 in Roane County.
When sixteen years old he began life independently, and in 1855 went to
California, where, for the first four years, he worked on a stock ranch. He
after- ward combined butchering and stock-raising, and in 1866 returned to
Tennessee, where he has since resided. In December, 1867, he married Ruth
Caroline, a daughter of L. J. Hinds, a native of Roane County. Their children
are William C., Rilla C., Nora L., Samuel B., Martha E., Katie K. and Ella M.
The eldest daughter and her parents are members of the Christian Church. In
politics Mr. Hinds is Conservative, and first voted for Lincoln. He is the third
of four children of John and Sarah A. (Hickey) Hinds, the former born and reared
in Roane County, and the latter born in Knox County, but a resident of this
county since childhood. The father, an excellent farmer, was captured and held
as prisoner at Chattanooga for three months during the late war. The
grandfather, Sylvanus Hinds, and a brother were the pioneers in honor of whom
Hinds Valley received its name, and the former was a soldier of the Creek Indian
war and of that of 1812. Our subject began as a poor man, but now owns 100 acres
one mile east of Rockwood, and also deals extensively in stock.
