John Hineman – Hinman: Revolutionary War Notes

Notes for research:

QUESTION: How did DAR etc. connect the John HINMAN from the war with OUR John HINEMAN? There are lots of HINMANs in VT during the early years, but they seem to be, for the most part, consistently HINMAN, not HINEMAN.

From Aaron:

On ancestry.com “The Official roster of the soldiers of the American Revolution buried in the…..” This is just one section/chapter of a large book on Revolutionary War Soldiers, dealing with DAR, Son of the American Revolution, Pension indexes, rosters, etc., etc.

This is what I happened to run into on page 177 “1788-To the Pioneers of The Ohio Country-1938″

“HINMAN, JOHN, Mahoning Co., OHIO

Pvt. Ref Conn Men in Rev p 466; also Vt Men pp155-375-343; Hist Trumbull & Mahoning co.

Aaron’s note:
Our possible link to these Hineman/Hinman/Hynman’s is the Revolutionary War info found on our John Hinman/Hineman naming members of our family via John’s children and stating that his Rev. War Service was in Conn/Vermont. Point’s to us but what about our known Pennsylvania connection?

On Ancestry, says view image, but the image isn’t there. Would like to see it:

U.S. Revolutionary War Rolls, 1775-1783
Name:     John Hineman
Rank – Induction: Privt
Roll Box: 90
Roll State: VT

UPDATE: I figured out how to find the images. Below are two possibilities, but not the one mentioned above.

This last one is obviously not the John Hineman I am looking for (wife, Margaret), but I saved them just in case they might be connected somehow.
