Hon. Samuel Hinds M.D.

William Hinds as executor of 'Samuel Hinds the elder of St Michael deceased' was awarded the compensation for Warrens estate. 'Samuel Hinds the elder' was almost certainly the Hon. Samuel Hinds M.D. (d. c. 1824), shown by Brandow as of St Michael and as owner of Warrens, but might conceivably refer to 'Samuel Hinds the Elder of St Peters' (d. c. 1808), the father of Hon. Samuel Hinds M.D. The Hon. Samuel Hinds M.D. was the father of Philip Lytcott Hinds (q.v.), Samuel Hinds (d. c. 1826, q.v.) and William Prescod Hinds (q.v.). This will of his son Samuel also named his father (wife of Samuel MD) as Eleanor and his sisters as Mary, Ellen, Ann Richards (previously Hinds) and Susan.

Brandow, Genealogies p. 613.

Combining Brandow Genealogies p. 613, the evidence of wills for Samuel Hinds of London (proved 1827) and Samuel M. Hinds of Bath (proved 1847) and the Slave Register entries, we have identified four Samuel Hinds: (1) Samuel Hinds the Elder of St Peter (d. c. 1808); (2) his son Hon. Samuel Hinds MD (d. c. 1824), brother of William Hinds, Benjamin and Abel Hinds, and father of (3) Samuel Hinds 'of London' (d. c. 1826), brother of Philip Lytcott Hinds and William Prescod Hinds; and (4) Samuel M. Hinds, also given as Samuel Hinds jr, the son of Benjamin Hinds (Brandow suggests son of Abel). The awardee of two small claims and the attorney in 1829 for the Howell family [BA 12175 and BA 12177] Barbados might be a fifth Samuel Hinds or the same man as Samuel M. Hinds.
