Notes for Philip Hinson and Mary Sanders

Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders, was from the Albemarle, Virginia area. We suspect that he was a son of John Hinson, of Albemarle County, Virginia. Mary Sanders was perhaps a grand-daughter of William Sanders of Albemarle, Virginia. Philip Hinson and Mary were plausibly the parents of Kizannah Hinson, the wife of Micajah Pickett, based on the 1777 will of Philip Hinson in Camden District, South Carolina. Kizannah/Rosanna Pickett was named as one of Philip's daughters.

1760 Mary Henson was named as a grand daughter of William Sanders, and Philip was named as executor in the will of William Sanders. The will of William Sanders was dated October 8, 1760 and was proved November 8, 1764 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Legatees: Wife Mary, son Julius, granddaughter Mary Henson, grandsons Clayton and John Sanders, Philip Henson, executor. [1] [2]

1764-1765 Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders, conducted activities in Virginia, perhaps while he lived in the Carolinas.

1755 Philip Hinson, defendant, was fined in Halifax County, Virginia for not appearing regarding the estate of Isreal (Isaac(?)) Bates, George Carrington executor. Dated January 16. [Perhaps he lived near the North-South Carolina border at this time, as suggested in notes below] [3] [4]

1764 Philip and Mary Henson (and Mace Pickett) witnessed a deed in Caroline County, Virginia from John Pickett Sen'r of Drysdale Parish, Caroline County to son Thomas Pickett. [5] [6]

1765 In Albemarle County, Virginia court papers: "Bond of Julius Sanders and Philip Henson to David Ross, dated Sept. 1765, witnessed by William Rea and St. McCaul. Two orders to arrest Julius Sanders 5 above suit, dated 6 Oct. and Jan. 3". [see 1768 newspaper notice] [7]

1768 Philip Henson claimed that he and wife Mary were the heirs of several Negros from the estate of William Sanders, to be inherited after the death of William's widow Mary. Meanwhile, William's son Julius has seized the slaves and is claiming them as his own. Philip warns others not to buy these slaves from Julius, because they do not belong to Julius. Just below, a notice by David Ross, states that Philip Hinson had mortgaged Negroes Pat, Joe, Jenny, and Sall to Alexander Baine [see 1765 court record. These were the slaves named in the will of William Sanders, grand-father of Mary Sanders]. [8] [9] [Photocopy, Philip Henson named father-in-law Julius Saunders, Newspaper notice.]:

Some Years ago I married Mary, the daughter of Julius and grandaughter of William Saunders, both of Albemarle county [Virginia]. At the time of my marriage, and for great many years before, the said William was possessed of sundry slaves as his property, of all which the said William made me a verbal gift on the day of marriage, and decreed as followeth: "I give and bequeath to my granddaughter Mary Henson, after the death of my wife Mary Saunders, a Negro woman named Pat, a Negro boy named Joe, a Negro girl named Jenny, and a Negro girl named Sail, with all their following increase, also one feather bed, &c." This will he gave to a disinterested person to keep for him, and always declared it to be his real will, and would never consent to any alteration, though often importuned, in favour of said Julius; and the same was recorded in Albemarle court. Immediately after the death of the said William Saunders the said Julius seized the said slaves, together with all the papers belonging to the deceased, and now pretends they are originally his property, notwithstanding many people … the contrary. I am a poor man, and have been for some time … unable to go to law; besides, I am told that I must wait the death of the said Mary Saunders; But, be that as it will, I think proper to advertise the publick that I have and shall be able to make out an undoubtetd title to the slaves above mentioned; and I do forewarn all persons from purchasing the said dlaves, of their increase, or carrying any of them out of the colony, as I hope soon to obtain justice for myself and creditors. Philip Hinson.

I do hereby advertise the publick that Philip Henson and Mary his wife, being largely indebted to Alexander Baine, for securing the same did enter into and execute a deed of mortgage for Negro Pat, Joe, Jenny, and Sall, and all their increase, together with sundry chattels. I understand one Julius Saunders has got possession of the said slaves, and may probably offer them for sale: I therefore give this notice of the mortgage, which is recorded in Albemarle court, and no part of it paid. David Ross for Alexander Baine.

Notes for Philip Hinson of Bladen/Anson County, North Carolina. The location of two of Philip's tracts in the Pee Dee and Cape Fear River watersheds are shown on maps. A tract described in a 1735 deed was at the junction of Rockfish Creek with the NorthWest River (now the Cape Fear River) near Fayetteville, South Carolina. A tract described in a 1741 deed was at the junction of the Rocky River with the Pee Dee River near Ansonville, South Carolina. These two tracts were about 90 miles apart. Other nearby landholders included Jasper King, Benjamin Dumas, John Hicks, John Westfield, John Goodwin, John Williams, John Clark.

1735 Phillip Hanson was granted 320 acres (one-half square mile) in Bladen District North Carolina "on ye E side of NW River about six miles above Rockfish Creek and joyns the upper side of Mich Blockers land beginning at an oak … ", joining Michael Blocker and the river. Dated February 20. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] "The following persons proved their rights … Philip Hinson 640 Bladen". [15] 1770 Map showing Rocky River and Rockfish Creek: [16] 1775 Map showing Rocky River and Rockfish Creek: [17]

Two land holdings of Philip Hinson. [18]
1735 Rockfish River joins the NorthWest River
from the west (south of Crosscreek red dot on right).
1741 Rocky River joins the Yadkin River
from the west (left third of map).

1741 Jasper King was granted 400 acres in Bladen County on the S.W. side of Pee Dee river opposite to Rockey Creek, joining the sd. river and John Westfield (see 1749-1750). Dated May 22. [19] [20]

1741 Phillip Henson was granted 640 acres (one square mile) in Bladen County "on the north-east side of PeeDee River beginning at a hickory the lower corner of John Hix". Dated May 2. More details are given in deeds when this land was sold (1748, 1749). [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold 590 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina on the Northeast side of the PeeDee River, beginning at a hickory on the lower corner of John Hix's land, then east 110 chains to a pine; south 80 chains to another pine; west 50 chains to a red oak; then along the river to first station; part of the 640 acres granted on May 22, 1741 to said Hinson. Sold to Claudius Pegues, planter of Craven County. [28] Other land records suggest that this land was on the Pee Dee River, at the mouth of Rocky River. The remaining 50 acres was sold to Benjamin Dumas in 1749, but records after 1749 suggest that Philip Hinson might still own land at this location. "Downstream from the Lake Tillery, the waters of the Pee Dee flow south, with Rocky River joining on its western shore. This important spot was once considered the official beginning of the Pee Dee, and the portion of the river upstream was the Yadkin. Colson's Ferry, located across the Pee Dee River at the mouth of the Rocky River, was an important crossing of the Pee Dee during the Revolutionary War." [29]

1748 John Hicks of Anson County, planter, sold to Henry Somerlin of Johnson, planter, … 200 A on NE side of Great Pee Dee … Philip Hensons line … plantation where John Goodin formerly dwelt … granted to John Hicks, 1743. Wit: Edmund Irby, Wm. Forbes. Dated February 27. [31] [32]

1748 A deed recorded "John Clark of Anson County, to Benjamin Dumas of Louisa County, Virginia for £100 Proc. money … 500 acres on N side of Great Pee Dee … corner of Solomon Hews … corner of Phillip Hensons … granted 4 Oct 1748 … including an island … John Clark (seal), Witnesses: Joseph White, Samuel French, John Coleman, David Provender." Dated October 29. [33] [34] A discussion of this deed is quoted here [35]:

I have puzzled about the relationship of land speculator John Clark of Bladen Co., NC and "our" Clark family of VA. John Clark first acquired land near Buffalo Island on the Great Pee Dee on 2 FEB 1743/44. Over the next 12 years, John Clark would receive 41 separate land warrants in Bladen and Anson Co. NC. He would sell his Buffalo Island property to Benjamin Dumas Sr. of Hanover Co., VA in 1748, near the beginning of a sizable Quaker migration from Hanover and Louisa Cos., VA to the border areas of North and South Carolina. (No border in those days!) Most of Francis and Cordelia Clark's children were part of this migration as was the extended family of Andrew Moorman Sr., youngest son of Thomas and Elizabeth Simpson Moorman.

1749 Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold to Benjamin Deumer [Dumas], of Louisa County, Virginia, 50 acres on the north side of the Great PeeDee River, part of a 600 a tract granted to sd. Hinson, for 20 pounds of proc. money (the southeast part of said tract). Witnessed by John Dennen, William, Bedingfield, and Henry Bedingfield. Dated December 20. [36] [37] [38] [39] A quit rent record indicates that on December 20, Phillip Hinson sold 50 acres to Benjamin Dumas. The original grant to Phillip Hinson was 600 acres. [40] [41]

1749 John Hornback sold land to Charles Moorman and Benjamin Moorman, all of Anson County, North Carolina. The tract was on the S[outh] side of the Great Pee Dee … mouth of Walkers gut … Rockey River … Dated December 4. [42] Charles Mooreman has been named by several researchers as the grandfather of Mourning Mooreman, spouse of Benjamin Hinson (son of Philip Hinson), so this deed might provide a link to Benjamin, whom we show as a son of this Philip.

1749-1750 Jasper King sold to John Williams, 400 acres in Anson (formerly Bladen) County, North carolina on SW side Pee Dee, Rockey Creek, on March 25, 1749. Land in Anson County, North Carolina originally sold to John Williams by Jasper King was described as opposite that of Phillip Henson. Dated October 23, 1750. [43] [44] [45]

1751 Land belonging to John Clark in Bladen County, North Carolina on the N side of the Great Pee Dee River, was described as near that of Philip Henson. [46] [47] [48] [49]

1756 Philip Henson witnessed a deed: James Coward of Anson County, North Carolina to Archibald Graham of same, (lease s5, release L50) … 108 A, part of 3312 A on N side Pee Dee River, granted 27 Sept 1756 … James Coward (seal), Wit: Ambrose Stille, Elisha Parker (P), Philip Henson. [50] [51]

1757 Philip Henson of Anson County, Province of North Carolina, and Jacob Lipham were witnesses to a deed of land sale on head of Beaver and Naked Creek in Craven County, South Carolina. [Note: There is a Beaverdam Creek and Naked Creek in present-day Marlborough Co. about eight miles East of Philip’s plantation on the Pee Dee River] [52]

1758 Benjamin Dumas 140 Acres, On the NE of Pee Dee River, joins Philip Hensons. Dated July 1. [53]

1762 Thomas Underwood was granted 300 acres in Anson County on the S.W. side of P. D. River, joining Bambers line, Townsend Robinson, Philip Hendon [perhaps Henson], Thomas Jones, and Beanbers line. Dated April 24. [54]

1763 Philip Henson (both Jr. and Sr.) were taxed in Anson County, North Carolina. Bartlett, Banjamin, and Isum [perhaps sons of Philip and Mary] were also taxed. [55] [56] [57] [58] [59]

1764 Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold 590 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina on the Northeast side of the Pee Dee River, beginning at a hickory on the lower corner of John Hix's land, then east 110 chains to a pine; south 80 chains to another pine; west 50 chains to a red oak; then along the river to first station; part of the 640 acres granted 22 May 1741 to said Hinson. Sold to Claudius Pegues, planter of Craven County, for 862.10.0 pounds of South Carolina currency. [60](See 1741 and 1767 entries) [61] [62]

1764 The subsequent land deeds suggest that Philip Hinson moved from a plantation on the Pee Dee River to one on the Wateree River [a tributary to the Broad River, which is a tributary to the Santee River] about this time. Notes for Philip Hinson of the Broad/Wateree/Santee River basin of Mecklenburg, Tryon, and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina, are in the notes, below.

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from Joseph Cate, both of Craven County, South Carolina. The tract of 400 acres 250 acres (perhaps two parts on the two sides of the river?) was on the south side and north side of the Wateree River by land of Thos Hall. The deed was dated March 22 and was witnessed by Micaijah Pickett, Isaac Arledge, and Thomas Jones. [63]

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from William Kirkland, both of Craven County, South Carolina. The tract of 250 acres was on the Wateree River. The land had been purchased by William Kirkland from Joseph Cate, but the deed had been misplaced. The deed was dated April 25 and was witnessed by Mary Moore, Christian McKain, and Bartlett Henson. [64] Note that a survey, dated September 28, 1766, shows land in Craven County, South Carolina granted to Ambrose Mills bounding on Wateree River, Patrick McCommicks, Frances Laton, Pickett, and Richard Kirkland. [65]

1767 Phillip Henson received a quit claim from William Kirkland of Craven County, South Carolina on April 25. Philip Hanson paid 10 shillings to William Kirkland. William Kirkland had purchased the land from Joseph Cate in 1755. Witnessed by Bartlett Hanson, Christain McKaime and Mary Moor. Sworn to John Gaston, justice of peace, on July 14, 1768. [66]

1767 The estate of Claudius Pegues was settled and the land of Philip Henson was described as being in Bladen County, North Carolina, which became Anson County, North Carolina, and then became Craven County, South Carolina. Dated February 11. [67](See 1741 and 1764 entries) [Map] North-South Carolina boundaries [68].

1767 "Craven Co., SC, on NE side Pee Dee River: beginning at a red oak on river bank at Hinson's lower corner, running S 50° E 160 poles down the river to a mulberry tree on the river bank; then E 40 poles to a pine; then N 160 poles to Hinson's lower line … whereas Benjamin Dumas died intestate & his oldest son David, inherited the 2 tracts of 50 a. & 140 a.; now he sells them to Pegues" Witnesses: Francis Smith, Benjamin Dumas. Dated March 14. [69]

1767 David Dumas sold land to Claudius Pegues. The land had been owned by Phillip Hinson. [70]

1767 Phillip Henson purchased 100 acres in Mecklenburgh, North Carolina, joining the west side of main Broad River [a tributary of the Santee River] and Thomas Hooper, including a little island on October 26. [71] [72] [73]

1768 Phillip Hanson, of St. Mark parish, Craven County, sold land to Bartlett Hanson [perhaps a son of Philip and Mary]. Philip had purchased the tract of 400 acres 250 acres from Joseph Cate. The deed was dated February 9. [74]

1768 Nicholas Henson was granted 100 acres of land in Tryon County on both sides of the So fork of Broad River between McDowells & Tylers lines. Dated December 22. [75]

Philip Hinson moved further west, from the Broad River to the Green River to what would become Rutherford County, North Carolina.

1768 Phillip Henson purchased 100 acres in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, on the north side of Green River, on both sides of Walnut Creek, joining the Reynolds upper line. Dated April 29. [76] [77] This patent was cited in a 1784 deed from John Scoot to James Jeffrys for 100 acres on both sides of Walnut Creek, between Hinson's and Reynolds' line. [78] Nicholas Henson was named on the document. [79] A map show several land patents in the Broad River-Walnut Creek-Green River watersheds. [80] [81]

c 1768 Daughter Kizannah Hinson married Micajah Pickett Jr. We have assumed this based on several clues:

Kizannah Pickett was named as a daughter in the 1777 will of Philip Hinson of St David's parish in the Cheraw District of South Carolina.

Micajah Pickett was married to Kizannah based on numerous documents regarding the estate of Micajah Pickett.

Micajah Pickett lived next to the plantation of Philip Hinson where Obadiah Hinson lived in 1790, which was surveyed for Philip in 1770 and platted for son Obediah Hinson in 1786. [82] [83]

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from Joseph Cate on the south side and north side of the Wateree River by land of Thos Hall. The deed was dated March 22 and was witnessed by Micaijah Pickett, Isaac Arledge, and Thomas Jones. [84]

1766 A survey for Ambrose Mills listed Pucket as an adjacent landowner. [85] Philip Hinson was a nearby landowner.

1784 Charles Pickett, perhaps a relative of Micajah, purchased items at the estate sale of Philip Hinson. [86] [87] [88]

1786 Nathan Sanders bought 100 acres on Wateree Creek, granted to Ambrose Mills, sold to son William Mills, sold to Micajah Pickett (Dec 9-10 1784). Witnessed by Henry Sanders and William Tidwell. [89]

1810 Micajah Pickett purchased two tracts of land on Panther Creek from Ambrose Mills on November 22. [90]

Robert Wolfe has DNA matches with several descendants of Philip Hinson and wife Mary. Several of these descendants also match other descendants of Micajah Pickett and wife Kisanna.

1769 Philip Henson was the executor for the intestate will of Nicholas Henson, Tryon County, North Carolina. Security by William Sims and Zachh. Bullock. [91]

1769 Letters of administration were issued to Philip Hinson for the estate of his son Nicholas Hinson, as recorded in a deed in Tryon County. [92]

On Motion of John Dunn it was Ordered by the Court that Letters of Administration be granted to Phillip Hinson of the Goods & Chattles of Nicholas Hinson Deceased as being Father and highest Creditor of the Said Deceased—Who took the Oath of an Administrator and proposed for Security Wm Sims and Zachariah Buollock.

1769 Philip Hinson sold to John Scott, both of Tryon County, land on north side Green River on both sides Walnut Creek adjacent Reynolds line, 100 acres granted April 29, 1768 to Philip Hinson. Witnessed by Willm Cleghorn and James Miller. Dated August 7. [93] Adjacent land was held by landowners originally from Albemarle, which suggests a link to Philip Henson who posted a newspaper notice in 1768 about slaves held by his wife Mary Sanders. [94]

Walnut Creek of the Green is in present Polk Co. just west-southwest of the town of Rutherfordton.
The location of this land, adjoining [Thomas] Reynolds on Walnut Creek, suggests a possible origin for this Philip Hinson. As noted in abstracts below:

25 January 1770, Reynolds’s line adjoined the Childers land, as described in a deed witnessed by their in-law George Watts, formerly of Albemarle County.

1 September 1770, when Ambrose Mills (formerly of Albemarle) chose land in Tryon, he bought a part of Thomas Reynold’s plantation—also on Walnut Creek.

1769 "A Deed of Sale from Phillip Hinson to Jno Scott Dated the 7th day of August 1769 for 100 Ares of Land. Proved by Wm Clay evidence thereto. Ordered to be Registered." July Court 1770. [95]

1772 Philip Henson stated that the 640 acres of land granted to him on NE side of the Pee Dee River in Bladen County, Province of North Carolina on May 22, 1741 was now in Craven County, Province of South Carolina. This was perhaps due to the survey of 1764 that established a border running east-west running above present-day Lancaster, Chesterfield and Marlboro counties. Craven was one of the original five counties comprising the Province of South Carolina. Craven was the section roughly between the Santee and Pee Dee Rivers. Also named John Hixes land and Governor Johnson. Dated May 20. [105] [106] [107] [108] Benjamin Dumas held land adjacent. [109]

1777 Phillip Hinson, of Saint David's Parish, South Carolina, dated his will on January 21. It was recorded on November 20, 1785. [Photocopy, Philip Hinson will, page 1.] [Photocopy, Philip Hinson will, page 2.] [121] [122] [123] [124] [125] [126] [127] [128] [129] [130] [131] The will named Mary (Wife), Benjamin (Son), Bartlett (Son), John (Son), Isham (Son), Obidiah (Son), Charles Hinson (Son), Rosanna Pickett (Daughter), William Hinson (Grandson), John Hinson (Executor), Benjamin Hinson (Executor).

The spelling of the daughter named in Philip's will, married to Pickett, is ambiguous: [Photocopy, Name of daughter in the will (not the original) of Phillip Hinson.]. Other documents in the same handwriting naming James Kelley [133] and the words River and Robert in the will of William McCorkle [134], suggest that the first letter of the name in the will is "R", not "K".

Total receipts, £248.2.3" Dated December 20. John Hinson executor. [143] [144] [145]

1785 A claim was filed in South Carolina for the Revolutionary War Service of Philip Hinson. Philip’s claim was part of Return No. 55 that was sent from the S.C. Auditor General to the Legislative Council on 23 May 1785. Four or five other Hensons filed claims for Revolutionary War service. Two claims were sent out under Obediah Henson and were included in Return No. 3 sent out 10 Dec. 1783, and No. 55 sent out 11 Oct. 1784.

1787 Aaron Roberts sold land to Mary Henson, both of Camden District, for 10 shillings. The tract of 150 acres, on Taylors Creek branch of the Wateree River, was granted on June 5, 1786. Witnessed and proved by Isaac Gibson and Henry Sanders. Dated August 13. Mary was perhaps living on the land when it was to be transferred. The land had been inherited by Aron Roberts and was being transferred to Mary, perhaps. This occurred soon after Philip Hinson died, so perhaps the land was transferred to Mary, widow of Philip, or perhaps to Mary, daughter of Bartlett. [149] [150]

1784 Land on Walnut Creek between Reynolds and Hinson's line, originally patented to Phillip Hinson in Rutherford County, North Carolina on April 28, 1768, was sold by John Scoot on April 17. [151] Another tract on Green River on both sides of Walnut Creek adjoining Ambrose Mills was sold by John Scoot on April 7. [152] This places land of Phillip Hinson near land of Ambrose Mills, which was adjacent to land that Micajah Pickett Senior owned in 1766.

1784 Phillip Henson was on a jury in Rutherford County, North Carolina in October. [153]

1785 Philip Henson appeared on the tax list of Rutherford County, North Carolina. [154]

1786 In April, Phillip Hinson [Henson] was on juries in Rutherford County, North Carolina. [159]

1786 In April, Mary Hinson brought a court suit against James Miller in Rutherford County, North Carolina. The plaintiff called and failed to appear. Non suit. The jury consisted of most of the same men listed in the jury that Philip Hinson was on for other court cases, but this jury did not include Philip Hinson. [160]

1790 Obadiah Henson, Bartlett Hinson, Robert Hinson, John King, John Watts, Micajah Pickett, Charles Pickett, Nathan Sanders, Charles Johnson, and James Hollis, all of whom were named or implied in the estate proceedings for Philip Hinson, were named on three successive census pages for Fairfield County, South Carolina, suggesting that they lived close to each other. [161] We would like help identifying their household locations more accurately.

1790 Mary Henson lived in Fairfield County, South Carolina. [162] [163]

1792 Mary Henson, of Fairfield County, sold land to John Henson [perhaps a son of Philip and Mary]. The tract was part of a 150 acre tract in Camden District on Taylors Creek that had been originally granted to Aron Roberts, who transferred it to Mary Henson. Mary sold 100 acres adjacent to lands of Henry Sanders and Isaac Grimes. The deed was dated December 8. [164]

1802 Mary Hinson sold land in Rutherford County, North Carolina to Jacob Walker. [167]

c 1809 Mary Henson died in Greenville County, South Carolina. We seek evidence about her relationship to one of the Philip Hinson men in our notes. Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders was still alive at this time, so it is more likely that this Mary was the wife of this Philip, who died in 1785. Mary might have moved to Greenville to live with her daughter Kizannah Pickett. [168]

1806 The verbal will of Mary Henson dec'd was returned to the office in Greenville County, South Carolina. [169]

1809 The executors of the estate of Mary Henson deceased made a yearly return of the receipts & expenditure of said estate up to the 20th February 1809. [170] [171]

The relationship to this family, if any, of Philip Hinson Jr of Anson County, North Carolina is unknown. See the tax listing, above, of 1763.

The inventory of the estate of Philip Henson Jr (perhaps a son) was recorded. Two dates have been reported:

1760 In January, the inventory of the estate of Phillip Henson Jr was made by Penelope Henson. [172]

1763-64 Philip Henson, junior, deceased. Inventory of estate January 1764, Anson County, Province of North Carolina submitted by Penelope Henson.

Research Notes:

All Notes merged 2025/11/15
Documents for Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders mn673x674 Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders.
Documents for Philip Hinson, father of Kizannah Sanders Pickett mn17378x17379 Philip Hinson, father of Kizannah.

Our research interest on Philip Hinson is to identify the parents of Kizannah Pickett, wife of Micajah Pickett of Fairfield, South Carolina and of Rutherford County, North Carolina. Philip Hinson of St David's Parish, South Carolina named daughter Rosanna/Kizanna Pickett in his will dated January 21, 1777 [210]. Micajah Pickett and his close relatives were parties to several deeds that were witnessed by Philip Hinson or involved land near Philip Hinson. Those deeds were recorded in Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It is possible that all the documents involving the Pickett family and Philip Hinson refer to one person named Philip Hinson. The Philip Hinson in all of those regions apparently interacted with Micajah Pickett or Micajah's close relatives and plausibly had sons named Bartlet and had a spouse named Mary.

The notes above summarize the documents that we have found, along with several uncertainties about Philip Hinson's family. Philip's name sometimes appears as Phillip and several variations of his last name appear as Hinson, Henson, and Hanson. Documents naming Philip Hinson were recorded in Virginia and in both North and South Carolina. Records describe lands in a large area including both the Pee Dee River and the Santee River watersheds. This includes the Kershaw and Camden and Greenville Districts of South Carolina, including St Marks and St David parishes. Records have been found in several North Carolina counties along the southwest border of North Carolina. The border between North and South Carolina changed during this time and records are found in both states.

However, the documents that we have found naming Philip Hinson suggest that there may have been two or more different men with that name living in South Carolina at the same time. The documents are found over a wide region from east to west. The regions can be divided politically and geographically into two adjacent regions which are east and west of each other in North and South Carolina. It seems unlikely that one person owned substantial property and had social interactions in these places at the same time.

East: The Pee Dee River basin includes the Cheraw District of South Carolina and extends north into Anson and Mecklenburg counties of North Carolina. It includes St Davids Parish in South Carolina.

Lynch's Creek (tributary to PeeDee) is the boundary between east and west

West: The Santee River basin of South Carolina with tributaries (listed from east to west) Wateree River, Broad River, Reedy River, and Saluda River. This is Camden District of South Carolina and includes St Marks Parish and Fairfield county with the town of Fredericksburg and Greenville county of South Carolina. This region extends north into Rutherford and Tryon Counties of North Carolina. It includes Green River in Rutherford County.

Maps, counties, parishes, districts, river basins and chronology:

The Pee Dee River and Santee River have sources in North Carolina, which flow into South Carolina. Counties of North Carolina along the border with South Carolina were formed successively from East to West.
Formation of Craven, Bladen, Anson, Mecklenburg, Tryon, Rutherford counties, North Carolina [211]:

1712 Craven County, North Carolina was formed along the southern border with South Carolina.
1712 New Hanover County was formed from the southern part of Craven County, along the border with South Carolina.
1734 Bladen County, North Carolina was formed from the western part of New Hanover County.
1750 Anson county, including the main sources of the Pee Dee River, was formed from the western part of Bladen.
1762 Mecklenburg county, including the sources of the Broad River, was formed from the western part of Anson, leaving sources of the Pee Dee River basin in Anson County.
1768 Tryon county, including the Green River and other sources of the Broad River, was formed from the western part of Mecklenburg. Sources of the Wateree River formed the boundary between Tryon and Mecklenburg counties. The sources of the Pee Dee River remained in Anson and Bladen Counties.
1779 Rutherford and Lincoln counties were formed from the western and eastern parts of Tryon county, which was dissolved.
1783 The western part of Rutherford county was made into Indian land.
1791 Buncombe county was formed from the western part of Rutherford county,

Current watershed boundaries of North and South Carolina [214]:

North Carolina [Map, North Carolina river watersheds.]
South Carolina [Map, South Carolina river basins (Freshwater Fishes by Rohde Arndt Foltz Quattro).]

Craven County was one of the original three counties of South Carolina. It is shown at the mouth of the Santee River on a map dated 1682. [215] [216] Craven County is shown upstream from the confluence of the Wateree and Congaree (Broad) Rivers to form the Santee River on a map dated 1780. [217]

South Carolina areas were often described by parish boundaries. [218]

St Marks parish, South Carolina, was on the Santee River, downstream from the confluences with the Broad and Wateree Rivers. [219] [220] [221]

St David's parish and Cheraw District, South Carolina are on the western side of the PeeDee River near the North Carolina border. [222] Philip Hinson wrote his 1777 will in this Pee Dee River area.

1877 "The scalping of Mrs. Henson - Last week we stated that an Indian axe had been brought into our office which had been found near the place where Mrs. Henson was scalped in olden times. This statement has called forth many inquiries and for the information of all we will state: Mrs. Henson, wife of Philip Henson, was killed by Indians near the Warrior Ford on Upper Creek, and the axe spoken of was plowed up by Mr. Bartlett Sisk, while subsoiling. Not only this axe, but arrows have from time to time been plowed up at the same place. Mrs. Henson was at the spring washing thread, so the tradition goes, when the Indians came upon her. Mr. Henson was in the field at work at the time and, hearing the screams of his wife, ran to her assistance, but found her scalped when he reached her. He, with some of the neighbors, pursued the Indians some distance into the mountains, capturing and killing one or two of the redskins Burke Blade" [250].
