Great-great-great-great-grandfather Lewis Lehytt Hinsch 1769-1864
Reverend Lewis Lehytt Hinsch, sometimes referred to as Reverend Ludwick Lehytt Hinsch was born 9/18/1769 in Saxony, Germany, and came to America in 1789. Early census shows him in MenallenTwp of WarrenCoOH, but he moved to MiamiCoOH in 1835 where he died 8/1/1864 in PiquaOH. I have found no information on his wife ( Debby Blus <debbyblus@hotmail.com> wrote, "...Also came across A Mrs Hinsch death paper dated 4-16-1833 she died on the 8th w/Rev Hinsch . Is this the wife of Ludwick and do you know who she was...") , but three sons have been identified:
1. John Charles William Hinsch, our great-great-great grandfather (see next section for details)
2. Augustus Ferdinand Hinsch (b.2/9/1805 AdamsCoPA d.WarrenCoOH) "...civil engineer, Lebanon, was born in Adams Co., Penn., Feb. 9, 1805; his father, Lewis Hinsch, who was a native of Saxony, emigrated to America in 1789, and in 1835 came to Ohio; he died in Maimi [sic] Page746 Co., Ohio, at the advanced age of 96 years. Our subject received a classical education in Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1827; he chose the occupation of civil engineer, and, in 1829, became assistant to Col. De Witt Clinton in his work on the Juniata Canal, in which capacity he continued until 1833, when he emigrated to Ohio and located in Lebanon, which has since been his residence. In 1836, he married Miss Louisa E. Denman, of Cincinnati, a native of New Jersey, of English descent. By this union seven children – five boys and two girls – were born. Of these, two sons and one daughter only survive, viz., William, book-keeper of Merchants’ National bank, of Cincinnati; Mary J., wife of Thomas E. Drake, of Lebanon, and Al-fred M., now at home with his parents. Charles D. enlisted in 1861in Company F, 5th O. V. I., and was killed at the battle of Cedar Mountain, Va. Mr. Hinsch is an able engineer, and has had charge of some very important and arduous tasks. Soon after his arrival in Lebanon, he was appointed assistant engineer of the Miami Canal, and, after its completion, he became superintending engineer of the same work. In this capacity he continued until 1860, when he was elected Surveyor of Warren County and served three years. In 1871, he was again elected to fill the same office, and was continued in it until 1880. Mr. Hinsch can boast of an excellent public record, a reputation above reproach and a well-spent life full of good works; he is a Republican and is highly respected by the people of his community." --The History of Warren County Ohio , Part VI Biographical Sketches - TURTLE CREEK Township
3. "Rev. Hinch also had a son Jacob, (d. 1837 from the kick of a horse), who married Sarah Fehl in 1832, and had at least one child."
Lewis was a Lutheran minister, holding services in various places around Miami County "as early as 1835," according to The First Century Of Piqua compiled by John A Rayner; The Magee Bros. Publishing Co. Piqua OH 1916. The History of Miami CountyOH (copyright.1981) lists the Rev. C. Hinsch as first pastor of St Paul's Lutheran Church, now St Paul's United Church of Christ in PiquaOH.
In Maryland: " The Reformed Church at Emmitsburg. Md., like all other Reformed Churches in this part of the country, grew out of the early German settlements that were established here. The history of the Reformed Church in Emmitsburg goes back to the year 1768. It was in that year that the Reformed and Lutheran people in this district united and built a union chinch at Tom's Creek. about 2 1/2 miles east of Emmitsburg.
"The new church was built on the same spot where the old log Lutheran church formerly stood at the corner of the cemetery, and, like its predecessor, was built of logs. A school house also was built. We know very little about the history of this church while at Tom's Creek, as no records have come down to us.
"No doubt the charter members were formerly members of the Monocacy church, and saw and heard the great missionary sent to the Monocacy church, Rev. Michael Schiatter. About all we know is the names of the pastors who served the congregation during this early period. The first regular pastor was Rev. Jacob Wepner, 1784-1788; the second, Rev. Valentine Nichodemus, 1788-1794; and the third, Rev. Lebrecht L. Hinach, 1794-1804.
"It was during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Hinsch that the congregation removed to Emmitsburg. In the year 1797 the Lutheran and Reformed congregations again united and built a stone church in the little village of Emmitsburg. Both using the German language. the Lutheran and Reformed congregations united in laying the corner-stone, and erecting the large and substantial stone church which is still used by the Lutherans.
"For many years these two streams of life ran side by side. The cemetery surrounding the church contains the earthly remains of many of the early and influential members of the two congregations that worshipped within the church, as well as others of the community. The names of the pastors are: Rev. Jonathan Rahauser, 1804-1808; Rev. Frederick, Rahauser, 1808-1816: Rev. William Runkle, 1816-1821; Rev. David Bosler, 1821-1832; Rev. Elias Heiner, 1833-1835; Rev. Samuel Fisher, 1836-1839, Rev. D. P. Freeze, 1840-1842; Rev. William Philips, 1842-1846; Rev. Geo. W. Aughenbaugh, 1846-1856; Rev. E. E. Highee, May to August, 1858; Rev. XValter E. Kubs, 1858-1863; Rev. J. M. Litzel, 1863-1873.
"It was during the pastorate of Rev. J. M. Litzel that the Lutheran and Reformed congregations separated. The Reformed congregation bought the John Nickum lot for $800, and in 1868 erected the present church at a cost of $7,000, and where they have worshiped ever since. The church is a large substantial brick building and is a credit to the congregation and an inspiration to the community.
"The following ministers have served as pastors: Rev. Abner R. Kremer, 1873-1881; Rev. M. A. Gring, 1881-1882; Rev. Geo. B. Resser, 1882-1884; Rev. XV. H. Heilman, 1886-1892; Rev. A. M. Scheffuer, 1893-1895; Rev. XV. C. B. Shulenberger, 1896-1903; and Rev. A. M. Gluck, the present pastor, who was ordained to the Christian ministry in this church on November 1, 1903. It will be seen, from these facts, that at no time in its history has this congregation been without a pastor for any great length of time, and some of these ministers have been leaders in their denomination."

Great-great-great-grandfather John Charles William Hinsch 1799-1881
This is JCW's headstone, in Spindler Cemetery on Jericho
Road in Defiance County Ohio, near the tiny town of Mark Center
The 1880 OHioPAuldingCoCRaneTwp p.26, lists the birthplace of both of John's parents as Pennsylvania, but the Defiance Co Atlas lists John's birthplace as BaltimoreMD. According to an article by Mrs. Vera Hinsch Harter, in the History of Defiance County, JCW was b.2/2/1799 EmmasburgMD, (but Ruth Bostater R4 Box 141 3936 SR2, BryanOH 43506 has him born 1/31/1799). An early census finds him at GettysburgPA, but in 1835 he probably left for Ohio with his father. Defiance County History:"...came to Mark Twp DefianceCO OH in the year 1852. They left Piqua OH by canal boat on the Miami and Erie Canal to the Maumee River and thus NW by foot to the uncleared land which was to become their farm and family home for well over a century...Two sons, David and John by JCW's previous marriage settled in this vicinity. Five other children by this earlier marriage remained in the area of Lebanon, Dayton and Cincinatti OH..." He died 9/20/1881 in Mark Twp, Defiance CoOH, at age 82, a farmer.
marriage and family
J C W Hinsch married about 1844 presumably in MiamiCoOH Barbara Spindler (b. 7/19/1816 LancasterPA d.3/3/04 at the MarkTwp DefianceCo OH family home). We know that Barbara was not his first wife. Debby Blus <debbyblus@hotmail.com> wrote: "... I came across this in Adams County Penn a John Hinsch s / Rev Hinsch Of Menallen married Sarah Miller d/o Michael Miller 3-8-1826 by Rev Bossler. Is this our John Charles William who later married Barbara Spindler..." , and so the Spindlers are not my direct relatives. Their genealogy has something to do with this:

David's second wife, Lydia Schafer, had a brother Alpheus Shafer (b.8/25/1848 WayneCoOH m.10/19/1873 PauldingCoOH to Rosalie B, b. 1/16/1852 PauldingCo, daughter of Amos & Eunice (Shaw) Hills, of New York, c.Florence Amelia Shafer b.7/28/1874) who was supervisor of Mark Township for at least 4 years. Alpheus and Lydia's parents were John (b.PA) and Nancy (Monasmith, b.OH) Shafer, who moved into Mark Township, also in 1851. Alpheus was a Section 33 farmer.
An article by Lydia Brown Lenz in the History of Defiance County recounts that a John D Brown (p.Wm b. 1880 d.11/6/1944) married Lizzie ("and Lizzie's father David Hinsch"). Which of the above girls was Lizzie, I do not know at this point. Their children were Russell Brown of Tiffin, Mrs Lydia Lenz of FarmingtonMI, Mrs Alice Fisher of HillsdaleMI, Harry Brown of GrossPointeMI, and Mrs Elinor Luke of MarinaCA. The article closes to say that Lizzie moved to Hicksville upon the death of her husband, and had been in Fountain Manor Rest Home in Hicksville since 1972.
Great-great-grandfather John Lebrite Hinsch 1835-1904
John L Hinsch was born January 7, 1835 in AdamsCoPA and died March 7, 1904 in Paulding County OH, and was buried in Spindler Cemetery in Mark Center, DefianceCoOH. The 1860 census lists him as a farmer with $650 in land and $50 personal; the 1870 census increases to $1000 and $400. He is 25 in the 1860 census, 33 in the 1870 census, and 45 in the 1880.
Marriage and family
On 2/21/1858 in Troy, MiamiCoOH, John married Sarah (referred to as Mary on son David's death certificate, as Sarah on son David's birth certificate, as Sarah, age 21 on the 1860 census; Sarah, age 30 on the 1870 OHPACR p.22 census, Sarah on the War Records; referred to as Clara, age 40 in the 1880 census) Lehman. Sarah was born 2/25/1840 in MiamiCoOH and died 5/10/1893 at Cecil, as is dutifully recorded on the four-sided stone she shares with husband John, son Arthur, and John's second-wife Jemma in Spindler Cemetery

9. Augustie born and died the same day, 8/13/1881
Emeline Lehman, age 7, is staying with the family during the 1860 OHPACR census, during which John is referred to as a farmer.
It is while perusing his war record that we note that he married a second time, 9/3/1896 in Cecil PauldingCoOH by Justice of the Peace R Randolph to Jemima A Hall, b.6/18/1845 d.6/2/1899 i.SpindlerCemetery, Mark Twp, DefianceCo OH.
his war record
John served in the Civil War for both Indiana and Ohio. He served in Company G of the 152nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry, enlisting 2/15/1865 and was honorably discharged 8/30/1865 at CharlestonWVa. An application for benefits was filed 8/9/1890 for "rheumatism, disease of heart & rectum, & right femoral hernia," his lawyer being D F Openlander of SherwoodOH. Upon examination, they found him to be 5'7", 139 pounds, pulse rate of 96, respiration rate of 22 at age 50. On his declaration for invalid pension, however, he is listed as 6 feet tall with dark complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. He signs with his mark.
the Lehman-Rensch-Hittle-Boyer in-laws
A stone in the Spindler Cemetery notes "Anna, wife of C. Lehmon died 5/30/1896 aged 86 years." This was John's mother-in-law. Miss Anna Hittle was born to Nicholas Hittle and Eva Anna Boyer. Nicholas is mentioned in the 1880 History of MiamiCoOH as "a man possessed of powerful physical strength" that "pioneered [his] way into the wilds of Newton Township," locating on Section 8 "just above Pleasant Hill." Nicholas' son John, Anna's brother, "was raised a farmer, and adopted farming as his vocation through life, and shoemaking as an accessory. He came to Ohio, when about 10 years old, with his parents... the third of a family of ten children." He died on his 160-acre farm, half of which then was bought John's son, John K Hittle. John K was a member of the IOOF since 1866, the Encampment at West Milton, and the Patrons of Husbandry. A democrat, he considered himself "Protestant in faith, but not circumscribed by any particular creed. In all of his transactions, integrity is his ruling principle." Curiously, the Defiance Atlas lists the last name as "Hittler."
Her father-in-law Benjamin Lehman bought Jacob Ullery's saw mill 1818 and later that year a new frame building was erected and a flouring mill was actually in operation in 1820. Jacob Ullery had been a Maryland native who left there in spring 1810 by wagon to Pittsburg, floating on an old "flat" to Cincinnati, then by hired team to Dayton. He bought a mill-site for $300, the SE quarter of Section 30 in Newberry Twp, building a sawmill in 1815, selling it to 4 greats-grandfather Benjamin Lehman for $4000, which he in turn sold for $3500 to John Brumbaugh in 1822 after developing a flouring mill. The Hanks brothers established a tannery in 1820 known as the Covington Tannery. In 1824, it had nearly ceased but Benjamin Lehman rebuilt it in 1825, let John Ross operate it, and then sold it to John Ross in 1830.

Anna Hittle-Lehman, John and David's mother-in-law, is living next door with David, John's brother,in the OHPACR 1860 census at age 49, born in Pennsylvania, with personal possessions worth $300. In the 1870 OHPACR census, p.22, she is 60, still keeping house for David and Barbara's family. In 1880, she is only 67 with a broken arm, now living with John's family, in the OHPACR census, p.26. Her name changes from Lehman to Lemmon to Layman with each passing census.
great-grandfather David Jackson Hinsch 1876-1940
David was born 2/5/1876 (his death certificate says 2/4/1875, but his birth certificate says 2/5/1876, and his gravestone notes 1876) in Paulding County, moved from Montana back to Paulding in 1929, and died in the Paulding County Hospital 1/30/1940 of myocarditis, contributed to by his diabetes mellitus. He was buried the day before his 65th birthday in Forder Cemetery, outside of Antwerp, PauldingCoOH. His wife, "Gramma Hinsch," as we have always affectionately called her, moved to 220 Rock St, Hicksville OH in 1965 to be near her two granddaughters, Ruth and Dianne Stahl.
marriage and family
On April 18, 1915 in Wilbaux, Montana, David married Edith Della Mattson. She was born 7/17/1895 in OrtonvilleMN and died at 10am 4/23/1974 in Hicksville Community Memorial Hospital, DefianceCoOH.
