William Hinds' Children

My ancestor, William Hinds, served and died during the War of 1812.

We know that William was "our" William Hinds because the names of his heirs (children) were identical to the children for whom Elizabeth (Acklin) Hinds was appointed guardian (Elizabeth's father or brother, Christopher Acklin, was a surety for the guardianship).
