JAMES HINTON, farmer and horticulturist; P. O. Paris, born Oct. 18, 1818,
in Baltimore, Md.; son of John Abijah Hinton, a native of England, who
was educated for the Episcopal Ministry, but afterward went abroad upon
the high seas and became a sea captain; but little of him was ever known
afterward, as he was lost when our subject was but a babe; consequently
but little of the early history of his ancestry is known by the above.
The mother of James was Jane Kennedy, a native of the Emerald Isle; she
bore her husband two children, Isabella and James; Isabella married Harvey
Nash, of New York; she died 1861; leaving four daughters and three sons.
Mr. Hinton emigrated to this State with his mother, about the year 1820,
and located in Paris, where she died of cholera in 1833.  Our subject
learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed continuously until 1873,
as builder and contractor.  Sept. 17, 1846, he married Sarah E. Wheat,
daughter of William and Rebecca (Wright) Wheat; his wife died in January
1861, leaving three children: Rebecca B., William W., and James H.
Rebecca B. was first married to Dr. R. T. Weldon, by whom she had on son,
William McLeod; she now resides in Cincinnati, wife of Thomas Baldwin.
William W. resides in Kansas City, Mo., and James H. in Cincinnati. May
1, 1862, he married Mary A. Sisson, born in Augusta, Bracken Co., Ky.,
daughter of Lawson and Matilda (Weldon) Sisson; he was a native of Fauquier
County, Va., she, of Bracken County, Ky.  Since 1859, Mr. Hinton has been a
resident of the farm he now owns, and since 1874 he has given his attention
to the culture of fruits and flowers, and nursery stock, making more of a
specialty of flowers, and has been successful in his business undertakings.
Since 1837 he has been a member of the Baptist Church at Paris.  A view of
his place will be found in this work.
