Will of Thomas Hind:
My wife, Elizabeth, gets 100 acres, the old homestead where now live, during her lifetime. My son Samuel Hind, gets the 75 acres I alloted to him. My son-in-law, John Carter, and his wife, Martha, get 50 acres, being a part of the tract where I now live and to be laid off parallel with R.C. Embry's line next to my farm, for which Carter has advanced me $100 on it. The rest of my land not specified is to be sold and divided equally among my heirs. My grand daughter, Susan Hardy, gets $10 above her interest in my estate for a new saddle.

Green Co Circuit Court Case #1091
30 Sept 1878W L MUDD, Admr of Thomas HINDS vs James T HINDS
William L MIDD state that Thomas HIND departed this life in Green Co in 1877. He was made administrator in 1878. James T HINDS owes a note dated 16 Sept 1876 to Thomas HINDS for $116. The note was for two tracts of land which Thomas HINDS sold and deeded to James T HINDS. The land is on Little Barren River.
DEED: 15 Sept 1876
Thomas HINDS and wife Elizabeth to James T HINDS…two tracts of land…Tract 1:..Beginning at HANDY's tract of 25 acres then with a line of J T HINDS…COOK..8 ½ acres; Tract 2: Beginning at W T HINDS line…SPILLERS 1000 Acre survey…edge of a small hollow and near a log way…18 ½ acres. There are 27 acres in the small two tracts.
William L MUDD wants a sale of the land to settle the note and the estate.
James T HIND states that it is untrue that he purchased the 50 acres from Thomas HINDS. He denies that the note to his father, Thomas HINDS, was made for the land mentioned in the petition. He bought from Louis HINDS and paid him for it. Louis bought this tract from M GOFF and GOFF made the deed to James T HINDS, the deed referred to in this petition. Thomas HINDS never owned the land or any part thereof, nor did he ever hold a lien on it. J T HINDS further states that the land in the amended petition is a part of his homestead and he is now living on it and occupying the land., and without the balance of the land now owned by him is not worth as much as $1000 and he is entitled to and claims the 50 acres under the homestead law. He asked for the suit to be dismissed.
DEED: 14 September, 1876
Jesse M. Goff and wife, Martha to James T. Hinds. .50 acres. .$200 ..Little Barren River.. .Wm Spiller's upper corner standing on the clift of Little Barren River. .Mary Clemons. .Richard Craddock...
Warren.. . AMENDED PETITION:
W. L. Mudd amends his petition and states that the note sued upon is for the purchase price of three tracts of land instead of two tracts mentioned in the original petition.
Thomas Hines, sometime before his death, purchased of Jesse M. Goff a tract of 50 acres and paid him, and Thomas Hines sold the tract to J. T. Hines at the same time that he sold the two small tracts mentioned in the original petition. The note was filed for the three tracts of land. Goff made the deed to J. T. Hines. Therefore, he has a lien on all three tracts.
REPLY: W. L. Mudd denies that J. T. Hines purchased the land from Lewis Hinds and paid him for it. Mudd denies that Thomas Hinds ever owned the land.
Depo. of Mrs. Nancy E. George (5 July, 1881 at New Salem Baptist Church) Age about 42 years old; reside Green County. I am a sister to James T. Hines. I am partially acquainted with the land in controversy. I don't know a thing about the note. I heard them speak about his giving a note, but I know nothing about it. I don't know who he purchased all of the land from. I know he got some of it from Pa. I don't know that I ever heard Pa speak of James T. owing him. I heard them speak something of having this trade up for land. I don't know of James T. owning any other land. I don't recollect of ever hearing them say anything about the money. My brother has never lived on any other farm except on the one where he now resides. I don't know how many acres my brother purchased of my father. I don't know anything about the indebtedness of my brother.
Depo. of James B. Montgomery (5 July, 1881 at New Salem Baptist Church) Age 70; live Green County. I was acquainted with Thomas Hines, dec'd. I wrote the note sued on. It was executed for land. It was for the land that J. T. Hines now lives on. Mr. Hines told me a good deal, but I don't recollect it all. That note was what was due Thomas Hines from his son, J. T. Hines, upon a final settlement. J. T. Hines had a claim against Thomas Hines for perhaps a hundred dollars. I do not recollect what was said between them at the time. Old man Hines, I think, had two claims against his son, J. T. Hines, to make the amount of the note. My impression was that both claims were for land. I think the whole note was for the land. I don't know if the land was sold by decree or not. I heard it was. I know that he owned another tract of land which was cut off from his father's land, besides the land he got from Jesse Goff. He executed a note sued on, in part or all, for that piece of land. The house that James lives on is on the land that Jesse Goff deeded to him. I think a fair value would be $8.00 per acre.
Depo. of Jesse M. Goff (5 July, 1881 at New Salem Baptist Church) At 42 years old; I live in Green County. I am acquainted with the 27 acres referred to. I would put it at about $7.00 or $8.00 per acre for a fair value. I reckon it would be worth more than that if sold on time. I understood when the question was put to me, that it was for a cash value. I am the Jesse Goff who deeded the land to the defendant. I sold the land to Bob Hines and he paid me half of it down and gave me the note for the balance. I then traded the note to Capt. Thompson and he and Hines both told me the note was paid. I bought the land from my father, William Goff. The defendant's father, Thomas Hines, never had any lien on it that I know of
Depo. of J. W. Carter (6 July, 1881, at New Salem Baptist Church) I am 38 years old and live in Green County. I am a brother-in-law of J. T. Hines. I don't know if my father-in-law, Thomas Hines, had any interest in the 50 acres deeded by Jesse Goff or not. He listed it while Lewis Hines was gone to Kansas and he told me he reckoned he would get the land. Lewis wrote to him for the money, and I went with him over to Ike Russell's to borrow it, but didn't get it. I did not know that the note was given until after the old man's death. It was said that it was given for land and that is all I know about the note. I don't know how J. T. Hines became indebted to his father, without it was for that note. Bob Hines, they tell me, bought the land from Jesse Goff before the war and I reckon he paid him for it. I don't know who furnished the money. I never hear the old man say anything about the indebtedness of his son, James T., to him nor anything about furnishing any money to pay any person for the land. I know nothing about how James T. made the payment of Goff. I've never heard how he got the land, or where he got the money to pay for it. The note calls for two pieces of land, 7 acres and 17 acres, I believe. I know nothing about the trade. Thomas Hinds listed the land of Louis Hinds while he was gone to Kansas. This is the same land. I can't tell you if Thomas Hines listed that land as his own or as his son's, Lewis Hinds. I don't think Thomas ever claimed the land in my presence. The only claiming he ever done was that he just claimed the whole boundary after Lewis left here. He owned the land all around it, and that lay in the middle and the old man just claimed the whole boundary. QUESTION: You have stated that Thomas Hines said that he reckoned he would get the land of Louis Hinds. Now state if that was not on account of his son's wife and two children dying and leaving his son without heirs
ANSWER: No, not that I know of. He told me that he would get it from Lewis, that Lewis had gone off and left it. I don't think Thomas ever paid his son anything for it. I don't know if J. T. Hinds paid his brother Louis Hinds for the land.
Depo. of Mrs. Martha F. Carter (6 July, 1881, New Salem Baptist Church) I am 32 years old and reside in Green County. I am a sister to J. T. Hines. I don't know if my brother was indebted to his father at the death of the old man. I don't know anything about the debt, only that he said he would sell it to him. It was the land where James T. Hinds now lives. Mr. Carter, my husband, and myself were living on the land at the time and he was talking about us moving off, that he would have to give it up to Jim Tom Hinds as he was about to sell it to him. This was the land deeded by Jesse Goff to J. T. Hines. This was not the 27 acre tract. This was a week or two before we moved away from there, about four or five weeks ago. I don't know if my father ever paid Louis Hinds for the land. My father was not hard run an aiming to sell off a portion of his land that I know of. He was at that time unable to buy land and pay for it.
Depo. of William Lewis Hinds (6 July, 1881, New Salem Baptist Church) Age 35; live in Hart County, KY. I am a brother to J. T. Hines. I owned the 50 acres of land deeded to James T. Hines by Jesse Goff. I got it from James Carter. I sold it to my brother, James T. Hines. He paid me for it. He paid me part money and part in stock. I didn't make him a title bond. There was no writing of any kind between us. My father has no interest of any sort in the land. He furnished no money. I do not know what the note was for from my brother to my father. I did not know there was such a note until the day of the sale. I think my brother James paid me $325 for the land. He paid it all in money except one mule at $100. He paid me $125 and the mule at one time and then in about a year, he paid the balance. I never heard my father say that he paid any part of it. I've never heard my father mention that James owed him. My father never owned the 50 acres. My brother, James T. Hinds, let Jack Carter move on it.
Depo. of James T. Hinds (6 July, 1881, New Salem Baptist Church) I am the defendant in this action. I was to give my father $216 for the land, I believe. The deed shows it paid. He let me have the land and said he would mark it paid and afterward concluded that I had better give him something to show, so they could not butt it up against me in the settlement of the estate. I gave the note for $316 for the land and other little trading around. When he let me have the land he said he would mark it paid and afterwards concluded that he might die and said I had better give him something to show so that the children could see what lowed when the estate settled up and that if my part didn't come to that much I could pay the balance over to the children. The deed was written about the time or after he was taken down sick. James B. Montgomery wrote the deed. ---
JUDGMENT: To sell the land. The land was appraised by John E. Davenport and John T. Rhea in May, 1879 at $121.10. The land sold' on October 20, 1879. The highest bidder was James A. Carter for $75.00
