I think this is the one who married Solomon Geron Jr.
The age and place are about right. The Geron book shows that Solomon Sr's neighbors included Joseph Hinds, Joseph Hinds Jr, and Levi Hinds. I think the Levi was this Charity's grandfather, the Joseph was that Levi's father, and the Joseph Jr was that Levi's brother. Note that Solomon Geron is about 1/2 generation off from the Hindses -- he married in 1785, and served under Capt John Henry Hinds, so he was probably born in the late 1750s. Levi Hinds was born 1742, and Joseph II was born 1737. Since Solomon married later than usual for those times, and the Hindses married young, Solomon's children line up with Levi and Joseph Jr's grand-children.
Also note that this Charity's uncle married a Geron.
Also, the Geron book says that Ebenezer Byram gave Charity Hinds a slave in a living deed out of kindness and affection, after her husband died leaving her with 6 small children and expecting a 7th. Note that Ebenezer Byram married Lydia Geron, and their daughter Huldah married Levi, a son of Joseph Jr mentioned above. The Geron book says that Ebenezer's first wife was Sarah Hinds.

A RootsWeb entry that no longer exists said:
Charity married Solomon Gerron sometime in the early 1800s. Possibly 1814. in Madison Co., Mississippi Territory (now Alabama).
Charity married again after Solomon died in 1826. Her second husband was named Thomas Wilson.
David Trimble in his book on the Hinds family lists the marriages of Charity Hinds as 8 Mar 1814 to Solomon Geron and Thomas Wilson, citing Madison County, AL, Marriages, Deed Bk L, p.180, Chancery Court record Bk G p 154. However, he lists no facts concerning her parentage.

Did she have an earlier husband?
I found a marriage 1808-05-26 Wayne Co KY for William Boris + Charity Hinds.
Note that Charity isn't in her father's household on the 1810 census.
I don't see a William Boris anywhere on the 1810 census, but on the 1820 there is one in Perry Co OH
with a wife 26-45 and 6 children. If that's the same family, Charity didn't marry Solomon.
