comments
Rev. David Hinman was born 9 Apr 1797 in Oxford, New Haven, CT. He married Malinda (Bassett?) on 5 August 1819 in CT (Hinman family folder, Berea Historical Society; the info in that file on her--DOB, etc--may be incorrect, as it names her "Mathilda Bassett" not Malinda). David was a pioneer of Middleburg Twp., with evidence of their residence here from the 1830s: David Hinman's family has lot 107 in the Adams St Cemetery; the grave of their son Albert in 1834 is that cemetery's oldest marked burial. Malinda Bassett died in 1836 and is buried with him, as is his second wife, Mary Squire, whom he married in Huron County, OH, on 20 July 1837. They had four more children. Malinda died before records were kept of the burials in the cemetery. In 1904, a transcription of Malinda's tombstone read "Malida, wife of David, d. Apr. 26, 1836, ae 62"; a 1934 transcription said "Malinda, his wife, died Apr 26, 1836, age 41." In 2007, her tombstone was found to be in good shape, with deep inscriptions that are very legible despite some dirt and lichens. She shares the stone with David, his second wife Mary, her son Albert, and an infant daughter born to David and Mary. A baby grandchild of David and Mary's may also be buried in or near the lot. age 41 years at death Albert, infant daughter of David and Mary, Rev. David, Mary, and Malinda Hinman have a sandstone family monument and personal headstones. The lot number is 107. A magnifier was used to examine the grain. The marker is grey and all sides of the marker have an inscription. This monument commemorates the five aforementioned people. It was also not decorative. The marker is discolored and the words are starting to fade. The inscription is mostly legible, but some parts were extremely difficult to read. The carving was incised. The stone reads, “ALBERT [son] of [David and Malinda] HINMAN DIED M[ay] 16, 1834 {A…..M….] [Infant] DAUGHT[ER] of David [and] May HINMAN DIED Sept. 4, 1849 A[ge]d 22 Day REV. DAVID HINMAN DIED Nov. 14, 1862 AGED 65 YEARS MALINDA WIFE OF DAVID HINMAN DIED April 26, 1836 Aged 41 Years MARY WIFE OF DAVID HINMAN DIED Jan 28, 1871 AGED 82 YEARS.”
