Solomon Hinshaw Family - Hamilton Co., IN

Today I sourced the data from the census records of the Solomon Hinshaw family in Washington Twp., Hamilton Co., IN. I have them in the 1870, 1900, 1910 and 1920 census. Solomon married my maternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Elizabeth Beals, daughter of John T. and Mary (Davis) Beals.

Solomon was a farmer with North Carolina roots. In the 1900 census, daughter Rachel and her husband John Briles are living in the same household. I have not tracked down the children after that census. According to the census, there were 3 children born to Elizabeth & Solomon.
