| Notes |
- The following is copied from the Hinshaw Family Association site:
Jacob & Rebecca emigrated to New Garden, Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1741.1,5,21,42 An entry referencing his preparations to emigrate is found in the minutes of the Preparative Meeting of Grange, near Charlemount, Ireland, for the meeting of 2 Mo. 3, 1741:10
"Patrick Holm & his wife, also Hugh Kennedy & his family, having Laid before our meeting their Intention of Removing to America, they being poor friends & in want of help, therefore this meeting agrees that William Delap doe Lay out ye Sum of fifteen pounds Ster: to help to pay their fraughts and other necessaries for ye Jurnay untill he be paid ye Same out of ye Interest Left to poor friends of this meeting; also John Whitsit, James Pillar, William delap, Thos Greer & Benjn Marshill are Desired to Draw Suitable Certificates for ye Sd Hugh Kennedy and for Jacob Hinshaw & his wife who Intends ye Same Journy".
Jacob and Rebecca were received at the New Garden Monthly Meeting, Chester County, PA, on 11-30-1741:10,39
"Jacob Hinshaw and Rebecca, his wife, produced a certificate from ye Men's and Women's Meeting (Grange) near Charlemont in ye North of Ireland, bearing date ye 3d day of ye 2d month, 1741, recommending him and his wife members in unity."
Jacob and Rebecca signed (witnessed) a marriage certificate at New Garden for John Marshill & Ruth Hadley, dated Aug 14, 1742.10
They lived for a time within the limits of New Garden and then moved and about 1748 became members of the Menallen Meeting, Warrington, York (now Adams) County, Pennsylvania.28,10,42
One of the first marriages at Menallen MM was that of Samuel Pope to Elizabeth Stevenson on 7 Mo. 4, 1751, witnessed (signed) by Jacob Hinshaw.10
On 10 Mo. 23 1752, Jacob (Henshaw) appeared before Thomas Wilson, York County J.P., as a witness to the will of a John Blackburn.b
In 1752 some members of the meeting complained that Jacob was guilty of "breach of promise concerning the price of a Createre". In the 9th month (Nov), Jacob produced the following document which was recorded in the record:10
"Friends as it was your desire I should be at this meeting to Clear the truth of the Scandal I have brought upon it by my breach of promise for the which I am very sorrey and hopes to be more careful for time to come.
Jacob Hinshaw"
From Menallen they removed to Monaghan Township, York County, where they were living in 1758.10
About 1765 Jacob and family moved to Orange County, North Carolina, settling in the vicinity of the Sandy Creek Meeting, located west of Liberty near the community of Melancton.167 They presented a certificate dated 10 Mo. 12, 1765 to the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting on 1 Mo. 4, 1766.1,2,5,21
The Cane Creek MM men's records shows an entry for 1-4-1766:2
"Jacob Hinshaw received on a certificate from Pennsylvania".
The women's record shows an entry for the same date:2
"Rebekah Hinshaw & daughters Mary, Rebekah, Elizabeth, & Jane received on a certificate from Warrington MM".
On August 19, 1768, Jacob bought two tracts of land, one containing 272 acres and the other 106 acres, at Sandy Creek in Orange County, North Carolina. He bought this land from Herman Husband for forty pounds. The deed identifies Jacob as a weaver by profession.1,5,42
This same Herman Husband later became leader of the radical group known as the "Regulators". After a climatic battle between this group and the provincial army in 1771, several of the movement's leaders faced execution. Jacob and some of his sons signed petitions asking for clemency for the condemned rebels. It is not known how much Jacob or his sons were involved in this movement, but it is interesting to note that shortly after the collapse of the movement, most of Jacob's sons returned to Pennsylvania for a time.42
