Editous:— As almost the lust surviving rear neighbor of Major-General Thomas Hinds, of JofTerhon county, I have felt a growing obligation for many years past towiite a few well re me in bered reminiscences of this great and in many respects worthy and useful citizen of my native county. 1 have often wondered so little has hereto fore l*cen written and published about a man so prominent as a civ* illian, patriot und military leader. Except my good neighbor of former years, Hon. Wm. Holmes, I presume I am the last man left that can write incidents in the life of Gen. Hinds from personal knowledge. Gon. Hinds was born in Kentucky in 17K0, *nd pushing, head, self-reliant boy, and at the age of thirteen got passage on a Hat boat and worked his way to New Orleans. He was u remarkably mus cular boy, and noted for his adven tures as a swim i.er- A gentleman ut New Orleans ban ered him about swimming the Mississippi river oppo site the city, lie said he would do it for n small wager. The wager was put up, the feat performed and the wager pocketed. I mention this In cident as a prelude to the many daring adventures of his after life. As he was born nearly a quarter of a century before 1 was, I do not know how or where he spent his youth or earlv manhood. Among iny earliest recollections was what I used to hear ray father uy about the doings of Tom Hinds in and around Green ville, our county site. While ho'was industrious and very exact in all his business transactions he was full of fun and frolic, and was a very popu lar young man, especially with the first families of our community, lie was for some years sheriff of our county. As lie was a very reliable young man he soon got into the good will of Miss Laininda Green, daugh ter of Thos. M. Green,Sr., a worthy planter near Greenville, and they were married in 1807, and their only child, Howell Hinihfe was born in ihus. soon nitor ineir marriage tlmy Hettlccl on a very superior tract of land near Greenville where Mrs. Hinds died not long after the bi.th of her son The General never mar ried again, but continued to live on his plantation in comfort and plenty until his death in August, 1840. Some time after Ids marriage he was employed to conduct Miss Au gusta Green and Jefferson Davis (our JcffJ on horse'oek through the In dian wilderness to school iu Ken tucky, which lie did rnp'dly and safely. To pass over many charac teristics of Thos, Hinds tiat would no doubt be interesting to your readers, I hasten to s|>cak of his mil itary career. He was brimful! of the gonuino soldier which began to show itself when the war of 1812-16 hroko out between our country and tho British and Indians. Maj. Beaa ly who lived at Greenville, I preaumo early in 1813, raised a batallion mainly from Jefferson county, and went to Alabama to opposo the Creek Indiana and protect the few settlers on the Alabama river He was as signed to Fort Mims, where about the first of the fall of 1813 he, with all his command, except about half a dozen, with all the women nn<l chil dren and other uoucomhatauts in the fort were captured and massacred. The hail news came hack to our county like an electric shock. Tom Hines, os almost everybody called him—now, perhaps, the most popu* lar man in Jefferson county, pro posed to go to Alabama with as many os would volunteer to accompany him in order to tight the Creeks and protect our settlers there as best they could. A fair balallion volunteered and requested him to assume com mand, and he began to be called Major Hinds. He hurriedly got men armed aud mounted, and oITthcy marched toward Fort Stephens where, as well as I now recollect, General Claiborne was with his command waiting to he Joined by four hun dred Clmetaw warriors under Push mataha to invade the Creek country. Maj. Hinds oivouaeed one night near Gen. Claiborne s fort and sent lum word that lie was near him with a pretty fair hatallion. Gen. Claiborne returned answer that his fort was full of refuge families in addition to his own command and he had no room to take him in nor could he furnish him any provicious as he was saving every pound lie could get to feed Pushmataha and his four hundred warriors, daily expected at the foit. .Major Hinds sent him another mes sage “that him und his men had not come to Alabanm to fort up and wait for the iudiaus to come to them ; they had come on a regular Indian hunt and intended ro lind them if they were on the face of the ground, and as to rations they had some on hand and could get what more they might need in the country they-had xorrnt to protect. ” I never knew just how' ^ Major Hinds found it out, but he learned almost immediately that a large body of Indians, including wo men and children, bad crossed the Alabama river near what is now call ed the “Lower Peach Tree/* and were all as busy as bees gathering corn from the abandoned plantations,shell ing it on their blankets and sending it over tlm riycr in canoes to feed their approaching army. 1 will close this article for fear of being too lengthy aud resume the narrative in the next.
