John Hindman
John Hindman Family History
John Hindman (my great-great-great grandfather), son of David Hindman, moved in 1806 to what is now known as the R.M. Corbett farm in Clarion county, near the Jefferson County line. In approximately 1812, Indians assisted him in the construction of his log cabin. In 1813 he moved to a farm located one mile north of the turnpike and a half mile west of the Jefferson county line. There, he patented a large tract of land, cleared a farm and built a grist mill. His wife was Sarah Matthews, of English descent, who died in 1847.
