LAND in NORTH CAROLINA:
On March 1, 1763 Zachariah Cox of Rowan Co., North Carolina, cooper, and Mary, his wife, sell to Joseph Hines of the same county for £42 a tract of land on one of the branches of Pole Cat Creek in Rowan Co. containing by estimation 250 acres. It is described by metes and bounds. The boundaries cross the branch and the "Trading Path". The tract was granted to Zarariah Cox by deed from the Rt. Honble John Earl Granville December 6, 1761. (Rowan Co., North Carolina Deed Records 5/355)
In subsequent deeds this tract is said to contain 220 acres and to be on the Old Trading Road and one of the SE forks of Polecat Creek. On March 5, 1770 Joseph Hinds and Susanah Hinds of Rowan County for and in consideration of £5 gave a quit claim deed to Simeon Hinds of the same county for 30 acres on a branch of Polecat Creek. Simeon is Joseph's son, and a subsequent deed indicates that the 30 acres is part of the 220. In his will Joseph Hinds bequeaths all of his land to his 3 sons, Simeon, Levi, and John, after the death or remarriage of his wife. On March 21, 1775 a fourth son, Joseph Hinds, purchases the 30 acre tract from Simeon for £19. On February 12, 1775 Joseph purchases the interest of Simeon and Levi in the 220 acres for 5 shillings.
The 220 acre tract is in what is now Randolph Co., North Carolina, which was created February 26, 1799 from the southern third of Guilford Co., which was formed in 1771 from Orange Co. on the east and Rowan on the west. For more details concerning these transactions see notes under Joseph Hinds the son.

WHO WAS HIS FATHER?
Ken Hinds at http://hindskw.com/KennethHinds/1015.html writes:
At first I thought Joseph was a son of James III Hinds, but this is wrong.
Another researcher sends:
James Hinds of Elizabeth Town who died in 1731 left a six acre tract of salt meadow to his son, Joseph. Joseph Hinds who died in 1766, and whose will was probated in NJ, included in his will a six acre tract of salt meadow that he got from his father. Our Joseph died in 1771, and his will was probated in NC.
General Notes: Wife - Ruth
Her surname might have been Baldwin or Higgins or something else. See http://hindskw.com/KennethHinds/1016.html. Everyone seems to think that her first name was Ruth, but I do not know why.
