I (Marty Grant) am not related to William Hinesly as far as I know.
This family used the "Hinesly" (or similar) spellings fairly consistently. This seems to show they are part of the Chatham Co, NC family of that name.
William Hinesly was born ca 1810/11 (per 1850 census) in North Carolina (also per 1850 census). I don't know what county he was born in, but Chatham County seems the most likely.
William and his brother Elias Hinesly (c1812) were sons of William Hinsley (1765/74) of Chatham Co, NC, as proven by his Will.
William Hinesly was presumably home with his parents for the 1820 census. He would have been about 8 years old, so should be enumerated in the "under 10" age group. It isn't known when his family moved to Tennessee, so I don't know if he would be found in NC or TN in 1820. In Chatham County, NC, William Hinsley (bef 1775) had two sons in this age group, and Nathaniel Hinsley had one in 1820.
William Hinesly was presumably home with his parents for the 1830 census. He would have been about 18 years old, so should be enumerated in the 15-19 age group (born ca 1810/15). It isn't known when his family moved to Tennessee, so I don't know if he would be found in NC or TN in 1830. I saw none listed in Haywood County that year.
William Hinesly was listed on the 1840 census in Haywood County, Tennessee next to his brother Elias. William was unmarried, and the only other person in his household was a "Free Colored" male age 10-23.

William was still in Haywood for the 1850 census, and still unmarried. He was next door to his brother Elias.

William Hinesly married Ann E. --- between 1850 and ca 1854 in Haywood County. She was born ca 1834/35. I don't know her maiden name.
They were on the 1860 census in Haywood, 3 houses from brother Elias.

I have no data on them after 1860.
William and Ann had two children by 1860. They probably had others afterwards. I have no additional data on them.
