Narrative

from http://www.rawbw.com/~hinshaw/cgi-bin/id?166 :
Born c1749.3,140 Thomas' birth date has been variously reported to be c1749, c1737, or c1740. A newspaper article once even claimed Thomas was a twin of brother William (whose exact birth date is also unknown).5

The Cane Creek MM [Orange Co, NC] records show that on 1-5-1765 Thomas & Joseph Hinshaw were received on a certificate (not mentioning from where). Presumably this refers to this Thomas as his brother was Joseph.2

A few months later, on 6-1-1765, Thomas Hinshaw was granted a certificate to Pennsylvania, presumably this Thomas since his father Jacob was living in Pennsylvania at the time.2

He married Hannah Seasfield, 1766.42,60 (Elinor Seafield)140,183 Hannah was born c1745.42,140

On 10-11-1766, the Warrington MM recorded:42

"Thomas Hinshaw is joined in marriage with a young woman not of our society by a magistrate."

He was disowned the next month and apparently never rejoined the Quakers, although he spent the rest of his life in Quaker communities.42
