Notes |
- !The Death Certificate of Nancy, the second wife of Andrew Jackson,
clearly shows her maiden name (Godwin), dates of birth and death.
!There is a contradictory statement on his son's (William Alfred's) Death
Certificate where she is shown as Nancy Tubbs, although this
contradiction can be rationalized.
!The Nancy Tubbs information was provided to Missouri Vital Statistics
by his son Luther Milton Hinshaw (Sr.). However Nancy Tubbs was born
4-12-1885 and died before 1900. long after Andrew J's. children were
born. This listing of Nancy Tubbs is explained away when it is known
that her sister, Lela Frances Tubbs (1889-1978) married Oscar Jackson,
also a son of Andrew J., and Luther (my half-brother) incorrectly
attributed Tubbs to A.J.
!Andrew J. first married: Frances A. Goldsmith (born Indiana, 1838-39;
Undisclosed 1860; probably died about 1864. On 10-30-1856 according to
Mississippi County marriage records, and they had four children William
T., (1858) George A. (1860); Isabella (1862) and Joseph (1863).
! Andrew and family were shown in the 1860 census (Jul 13 1860),
Columbus District, Hickman County, Kentucky...
A. J. Hinshaw, age 27, born in Tennessee; farmer; $500 real estate; $160
personal property; cannot read or write.
Frances A. Hinshaw, age 21, born in Indiana.
William T. Hinshaw, age 1, born in Kentucky.
Undisclosed two houses away was Thomas & Catherine Goldsmith, who might
have been the parents of Frances.
!He then married Mrs. Nancy McDougal on 9-1-1867 in the presence of
George O. Gibson and M.G. Malone. This is documented in the Hickman
County Marriage Book, page 358, The only way for Nancy Godwin to have
been married to A.J. if she had previously been married to a Mr. McDougal,
for the Godwin Generalogy clearly shows Nancy L. Godwin married to A.J.
and the names of their six children, N.C. (1868); John (1870); William
Alfred (1873); Luther (1877); Lillie (1879) and Oscar (1881). The 1910
census for Mississippi County, MO lists Nancy L. Hinshaw as having been
married twice.
!The 1860 census for Hickman Co., KY, Columbus Dist., dwelling 388,
family 368, page 494, shows A. J. Hinshaw, white, male, farmer, born
Tennessee, $500 real estate and $160 personal estate; married to Frances
A., age 21, born Indiana; William T. Hinshaw, age I, born
Kentucky; and one additional person in this household: Carroll Hinshaw,
age 22, laborer, born Temessee, probably a cousin. The marriage records
for Mississippi Co., MO, which is across the Mississippi River from
Hickman Co., KY, show the marriage of this couple as: Andrew L. (sic)
Hinshaw and Frances A. Goldsmith, on Oct. 30, 1856. The Goldsmith
family is shown in Hickman Co., KY, on the same census page as A. J.
Hinshaw and Frances A., his wife.
!The headstone in the Brownsville Cemetery, Hickman, KY for A.J. lists:
Born August 10, 1831, Died March 22, 1887. "Heaven now retains our
treasure; Earth the lonely casket keeps, and the sunbeams long to linger
where our sainted Father sleeps." His headstone adjoins his son, John S.,
Rita's father (4-4-1870 to 1-18-1899) and Rita's mother, Lizzie (2-9-1880
to 5-15-1897).
!The 1880 Census shows the following:
A. J. HINSHAW Self M Male W 46 TN Farmer
Nancy G. HINSHAW Wife M Female W 37 TN
Joe HINSHAW Son S Male W 16 MO At Home
N.C. HINSHAW Dau S Female W 12 MO At Home

T. J. ALLEN Other S Male W 19 TN Laborer
James L. BUSBY Other S Male W 25 MO Laborer

Thus, it was more than just a "family farm".
