In the McClung Library Hinds papers is an indenture in 1798 from Joseph Hinds son of Levi to John Hinds Senior for half of three tracts of land. This land was "willed by the said Matthews Sharp by his last will and testament unto Elizabeth the wife of the said Joseph Hinds".

Somewhere I saw that he had a son Berry 1790, but I haven't been able to find any other reference to such a name.
