TEXASGEN:
The following is from http://www.texasgen.org/. Click on 'Narratives' and then on 'Cornelius Smith'.
In 1837 the HINDS were living on Bailey's Prairie near to or with the SMITH family. Levi Jr. was about 70 years old. His wife Susan is not mentioned and may have died in Kentucky before he came to Texas. Probably arriving with Levi Jr. were sons Levi S. age 26, Clem age 16, and daughter, Lorinda age 15. His grandson Eli Scaggs HANKINS and granddaughter Ruth Ann HANKINS came with him. Eli and Ruth were raised by their grandparents because their parents, John and Malinda Hinds HANKINS, died young.
Eli Scaggs HANKINS married Elizabeth C. DAY December 20, 1846 in Guadalupe County, Texas. He fought in "The Battle of Plum Creek" and the Civil War. His sister Ruth Ann married John N. WARD March 22, 1843 in Brazoria County.
DEATH:
The presence of young children in the household of Levi Hinds in Wayne Co., Kentucky in 1830 suggests that John and Malinda Hankins died before 1830.
