2017 Trip to the United Kingdom Submitted by Tom Hinchman
This summer Jan and I traveled to the United Kingdom with 36 members of our Presbyterian church in Anderson. We spent 7 days in England and 10 days in Scotland. Besides visiting many of the normal attractions and beautiful country side, we learned many new things. We were told that driving on the left side of the road dates back to the knights jousting with their right arm. Churchill's war room was very similar to the Greenbrier bunker, except it was actually used during WWII. We learned that the Presbyterian church in the United States came from the Reformed Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church came from the Reformed Church of England. We even toured the Glenfiddich Distillery and learned they still make single malt scotch whiskey like they did in the 1800's. The 18 yr samples were pretty good! We were fans of the Downton Abbey television series and were able to visit Highclere Castle where it was filmed, and on the way to Oxford, visited the little village of Bampton where the church and cemetery scenes were filmed. While in London, we were able to break away from the group one morning and took a bus ride from the Victoria section of London to the Fulham area to locate the All Saints Fulham Church and see the burial marker of Bishop Humphrey Henchman. We have seen pictures and articles from past newsletters but wanted to see part of our heritage up close. We were able to find the church easily. It sits on a main street, almost at the Thames River. Entering the church, we stopped at the information desk asking for the location of the grave site. The attendant was new but she was able to contact someone who knew right where the memorial was. You can see from some of the pictures that it is located in the left corner just as you come in the main door, but had been covered by a rug to protect it. That is me with "Buster" the church dog. We took many pictures of the church that was established over 700 yrs ago. As we were preparing to leave, the attendant asked if we were going to visit Fulham Palace which was behind the church. We had already visited Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and several others, but decided while we were that close, why not? We walked through some beautiful gardens and reached the palace which was stately but smaller than the "tourist" palaces. Walking through the rooms, we learned that parts of the structure was built in the 700's and it was the summer home for the Bishops of London from then until 1973. It is now owned by a Historical Trust. While in one of the rooms we were asked about our visit by one of the historical guides. I explained about visiting All Saints Church to see our ancestor's grave. I gave her the name and showed her a picture of the marker. She proceeded to pull out a book, showed me his name and dates as Bishop, and explained to me that although Bishop Henchman is buried at All Saints Church, that his main church would have been historic St. Paul's Cathedral in London. He would have been third in line to the king. He was the Bishop of London during the great fire of London in 1660 which burned much of the city including St. Paul's Cathedral. She also explained that the crossed swords on the left part of the coat of arms on the marker indicated that he was a Bishop of London. We were able to purchase the palace history book at the gift shop with the names and coats of arms of all the Bishops of London. We were not able to spend much time there, but the combination of this visit plus the earlier visit to the archives at Marshall during the HHS Conference has certainly peaked my interest and I will be doing more research in the future! See photos next page and page 8.

Kenneth Bowler, Vicar, gave a most interesting sermon about the Bishop, his meaningful and historical contributions to his country and its churches. His prayers for the family were touching. He asked if the family would follow him to the gravestone, located by the original entrance of the church, for a prayer during the last part of the service. Of the 16 Bishops buried at All Saints Fulham, Bishop Hinchman is the only one buried inside the church. Following the service a coffee was held in the foyer.

Find A Grave - www.findagrave.com
The Find A Grave website is a great source of information for family historians and genealogists. Numerous changes and improvements last year make the search easier and more interesting. At the beginning of 2018, there are 1550 memorials for Hinchman and 67 for Henchman including the United States, Australia and England. Searches by name, years, states, cemeteries, etc show the following list: names, dates, pictures, as well as the cemetery name and address. For example a state search for West Virginia has 181 Hinchman memorials.
The website shows your personal list of “My Memorials” by clicking on your profile then My Memorials. Like the searches above, My Memorials shows those memorials you posted by the following: names, dates, pictures, and the cemetery name and address. “Favorite Cemeteries” show those you have listed as favorites. You can search all of the memorials posted by you and / or others in the favorite cemetery. Photographs, addresses, and map locations are available.
Many of the former features such as biographies and photos, as well as links to parents, spouses, children, and siblings of deceased family members are still there. This website is not only available for searching, but contributing also. You can post memorials for your deceased family members. Would be nice to increase that 1550 Hinchman number to 1650 next year!

Letters To and From the Editor
Ruth Evelyn Tinkham: Hi, I stumbled upon this site after searching for my grandmother's name and genealogical records. I believe I have information that could be useful. I see you have a Fred Piper married to a Shirley Hinchman. One of their sons was Marion Lawrence Piper who married Ruth Evelyn Tinkham. Ruth's parents were Harold and Gertrude Tinkham (née Brown). Shirley is my great-grandmother on my mother's side. Ruth & Marion divorced and both remarried although neither had children after their divorce. They had 3 natural + 1 adopted children, Nora (my mom), Lorena, Matt, and David. Hope this helps and wow, who knew the Hinchmans were such a big family! I would have never suspected I had roots on the eastern side of the US, since we are a West Coast family. Submitted by Rhiannon Orizaga, [email protected] Editor’s None: See page 6 for George S. Hinchman Family.
William Hinchman of Dorchester Co., MD and Monroe Co., WV: I have spent the last few years researching the William and Elizabeth Kirwan Hinchman line and have a few thoughts regarding the identities of their children. Specifically regarding Mary "Polly" Hinchman Dixon. Many researchers refer to the Anne Arundel County, Maryland court document from 1780. This is the record that describes William's trial for treason during which he stated he was the father of 3 children and guardian of two orphan girls. It seems that most researchers assume these 3 children were Elizabeth, William, and John and that Mary must have been one of the orphan girls. I suggest that Mary was one of his biological children and that he had a total of 4 children (William, John, Mary, and Elizabeth). In his will, William Hinchman mentions 3 children. These are Elizabeth Ellice, William Hinchman, and John Hinchman. He also mentions a son-in-law William Dixon and a grand-daughter Elizabeth Dixon, among other Hinchman grandchildren. Elizabeth Ellice is almost certainly the Elizabeth Hinchman who married Phillip Ellis on August 14, 1804 in Monroe County, Virginia. Phillip Ellis and his family were living next door to William Hinchman Sr. and Jr. during the 1810 census. This Elizabeth died in 1852 and is buried in Logan County, West Virginia. She was born in 1785. Based on this information Elizabeth would not have been one of the 3 children mentioned in the 1780 Maryland court proceeding as she was not yet born. I suggest that William Sr.'s 3 children in 1780 were William Jr. (b. 1768), John (b. 1773), and Mary (b. circa 1776). Elizabeth would have been born 5 years later in Virginia. Polly Hinchman married William Dixon February 6, 1794 in Greenbrier County. William Dixon was most likely the son of John and Dorcas (Tabitha) Washburn Dixon. In a 1796 Greenbrier County court proceeding William Hinchman Jr. sued James Guinn. During the suit both Elizabeth Hinchman and Mary Dixon were named as witnesses for William Hinchman Jr. This would have been his mother (his sister Elizabeth would have been just 11 years old). Mary Dixon would certainly have been the wife of William Dixon and sister to William Hinchman. Interestingly, John Dixon served as a witness for James Guinn's side. Mary must have died before 1807 because William Dixon remarried that year to Nancy Vincent. John Hinchman was surety at this marriage. John was brother-in-law to both parties as he was married to Nancy's probable sister Sarah. William and Nancy soon moved to Kanawha County, Virginia and in 1823 they went on to Henry County, Indiana. Nancy died in 1850 and William in 1853 and both are buried in Batson Cemetery in Henry County. William did not leave a will, but in 1854 his 14 children (or their heirs) filed a petition to partition his estate. These children are named in order of age. The eldest daughter was named as Elizabeth Dixon Snodgrass. She was born in Virginia in 1798 and married Hamilton Snodgrass in Indiana in 1829. She died in
Volume 22, Number 2 * The Hinchman Chronicles * Winter 2017-2018 ______
1864 and is buried in Randolph County, Indiana. This would have been the Elizabeth Dixon mentioned in William Hinchman Sr.'s will. According to these documents William and Mary Hinchman Dixon's children were John, Elizabeth, Ebenezer, William, and Leander. They probably had another son who died young in Virginia (according to the 1810 census). William and Nancy also had a number of children (Joseph, Delila, Tobitha, Harrison, Madison, James, Sarah, Nancy, and Mary). I am a descendant of Ebenezer Dixon and his wife Harriett McCown and share many Ancestry DNA matches with descendants of William Hinchman Jr, John Hinchman, and Elizabeth Hinchman Ellis. I thought I would share my findings. I'm glad to answer any questions or share my sources. Submitted by Brian Nelson, [email protected]
Elizabeth Hinchman Ellis: Hi, my name is Cheryl Bayes Prichard. I have an Elizabeth Hinchman in my Family Tree. The info I have says she was born Dec. 9, 1785, and died March 1852. And married Phillip Ellis, born Nov. 5, 1785. They were my GGG Grandparents, if this is correct. I would like to know if she is the daughter of William and Elizabeth Hinchman. Submitted by Cheryl Prichard, [email protected], email dated 2-2016.
Editor’s Note: See page 7. Comments and / or suggestions for Elizabeth Hinchman Ellis are welcome.
Milton Hinchman, Chikaming Township, Michigan: In the past year I found out that I have Hinchman ancestry. Milton Hinchman moved to Chikaming Township, MI from Logan county Virginia, I believe in the 1830's. His brothers Cyrus and Hiram also moved to this area I understand. Milton's daughter Amanda married Michael Augustus Hand January 25, 1855, here in Berrien County Michigan. Their son Eugene married May Winget on April 10, 1889, though in previous info handed down to me her name was Mary May Winget. Eugene's son Clyde married Eleanor Schramm but I don't have a date for that wedding. Clyde's daughter Sally married Thomas Lange on March 19, 1966 and I was a product of that marriage.
