Ezra Hinshaw was appointed Assistant Clerk at Lost Creek Monthly Meeting on 10/27/1827.
Jane & daughters were granted a certificate to White Lick Monthly Meeting in Morgan County, Indiana, on 9/26/1835 from Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee. White Lick Monthly Meeting also served the residents of Hendricks County. Ezra's record of receiving a certificate to White Lick is lost as are the birth records of all the children born at Lost Creek after Jesse. White Lick Monthly meeting records the receipt of a certificate on 11/18/1835 for Ezra & sons Ira, Jesse, William, & Benjamin and for Jane & daughters Lucinda, Elizabeth Ann, & Martha Jane, indicating Abigail was born after their arrival. Ezra Hinshaw bought three parcels of land in Hendricks County on 3/30/1837. In the 1850 Census in Liberty Township, Hendricks County, Jane's mother, Elizabeth Millikan Woodward Macy, is living with them.

It is clear though that all the children mentioned except Elvin were children of William and Louisa Stalker. More on Ezra and Jane Woodward HinshawThe deaths of Ezra & Jane Hinshaw are recorded in the diary of their nephew John Smith Woodward, son of Jane's brother William Woodward. However, he records Jane's birthdate as 2/14/1797 which does not agree with Quaker records.Dixie Richardson has information on the Jesse Hinshaw/Julia Hadley Hinshaw family. Debbie was kind enough to furnish us copies of Hinshaw family photographs that were included in the 1964 Richland (Iowa) Homecoming Book and a biography that was included in the 1976 Bicentennial Richland History. The article was written by Kathryn Elvira Hinshaw (1880-1978), wife of Charles R. Jones. The Ezra and Jane photo is from the Homecoming book. |
