I (Marty Grant) am not related to Erwin Hinesley as far as I know.

I'm not sure if this families surname is "Hinesley" or just "Hinsley". If "Hinsley", then they may be connected with some of the Hensleys in Georgia. (See Hensley Spellings for more on this subject).

Erwin (or Irvin) Hinesley was born ca 1812/13 (per 1850 census) in Georgia (per 1850 census). I don't know what county, but possibly Clarke County where he was living in 1850.

I don't know who Erwin's parents are. but it seems reasonable that he might be a son of John Hinesley (c1780/90) and Mary Huff who were in Clarke County early on. John did have an apparent son in Erwin's age group with him in 1830.

Erwin Hinsley would have been about 7 years old by the time of the 1820 census, so if listed he should be in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1810/20). John Hinesley was in Clarke County, Georgia that year, and had two apparent sons in that age group.

For the 1830 census, Erwin would have been about 17 years old, so he should be enumerated in the age 15-19 category (born ca 1820/25). John Hinesley was there in 1830 and he had one apparent son in the age group. 

On 18 Apr 1838, "Earven Hinesley" married Lucinda Robertson in Clarke Co, GA. (Thanks to Laura Schreibman for this marriage record).

They were listed on the 1840 census in Clarke Co, GA, in fact, the only Hinesley family there that year.

Lucinda Robertson Hinesley died sometime between ca 1854 and 1860, for she was not listed with the family on the 1860 census.

Erwin and several of his children were listed on the 1860 census in Clarke County, in Scull Shoal District.
