John Hindle (Original Immigrant)
In the Manchester, England Directory:
1818 John Hindle, Spinner, 7 Roger's Row, Aqueduct
St.
James Hindle, Spinner, 5 Roger's Row, Aqueduct
St.
1821 John not there
James the same
1824 James 35 Hodron St., Salford
The Hindle family may have come over to New Jersey from England between 1831 and 1832. This is surmised from the birthplace of Jane and the 1832 Paterson Census. There is a John Hindle and his family in Samuel Fisher's Census 1832 as living in a house on John St. with 1 male, 4 females, 3 under 16. The family is tentatively traced back to Lancashire, England. That comes from finding the additional daughter, Mary. A Mary Hindle with parents John and Elizabeth was baptized in the cathedral at Manchester, Lancashire, England. A Jane with parents John and Elizabeth was found baptized at Bury, Lancashire, England in 1831. It is possible that John came over prior to 1831 to establish himself before the rest of his family came. John's approximate birth and death dates were obtained from the transfer of burial records of Cedar Lawn Cemetery. There is no verification for either from censuses or other sources.
Elizabeth Lawton Hindle (Wife of John)
Elizabeth's maiden name is supposed from Daisy Hindle Spear's memory of the family. Many grandchildren were given the name Lawton. Being widowed rather early, she became the head of the family of seven children. In 1850 she is living with 6 of her children in the residence of Gilbert Elliot. Census Abstracts Mary, the oldest, had been married by this time. Elizabeth, the mother has not been located in the 1860 census. By 1870 she is the head of a household that includes her eldest daughter, Mary and her family, and 2 of her daughters, Salina (not with husband) and Jane (widowed), with their respective children. Her last place of residence was Washington & Division St.
Mary Hindle Calvin (Eldest Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
The finding of this daughter has enabled research to locate a possible family in Lancashire, England. The christening record for the Mary Hindle, parents John and Elizabeth Hindle, states that her father is a cotton spinner. The censuses of the later families show that many of the children went into some kind of fabric spinning or weaving. Her marriage to Josiah Calvin was noted in the Paterson Intelligencer newspaper. The Josiah Calvin family was living in the same residence as Elizabeth Hindle (the mother) in 1870. Josiah Calvin was also mentioned in an obituary of John Henry Hindle. Family Card
Elizabeth L. Hindle (Second Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
The daughter Elizabeth's, birthdate is a mystery at this time. Varying censuses have her birth year as 1828 and 1831. Her headstone at the cemetery says 1826. She died unmarried. She lived at varying times with different members of the family. At no time do censuses mention her working. Her death certificate indicates she is 57 at the time of her death in 1883. She died of "general debility" not long after her mother. Family Card
Jane Hindle Ackerman (Third Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
Jane was the second wife of Peter Ackerman, taking his two sons into her care. Her birth is still unverified. A Jane Hindle was born to a John and Elizabeth Hindle in Bury, Lancashire, England in 1831, the 1850 census also estimates her birth year as 1831. In 1860 it would have indicated 1833, but that was when John Henry, below, was born. In 1870 it is indicated as 1834. She died in 1871 and in 1880, Mary, her daughter with Peter Ackerman, was living with Elizabeth Hindle, the elder. Family Card
John Henry Hindle (First Known Son of John and Elizabeth)
In 1860, John Henry and his sister, Jane and their respective families are living in residences right next to each other in Paterson. Census Abstracts In 1870 the undertaking business was called Hindle J. H. & Bro. and was located at 175 Main, Paterson. The family probably resided in the residence/business at 115 Ellison which John had built for them shortly after 1871. They had one servant living with them at that time. John Henry resided at 115 Ellison St. at the time of his death. The obituaries are a very good biographical sketch of John Henry. Obituaries His first wife, Mary Elizabeth Hammond, died of typhoid fever in 1862. He then married Hester Louise Cunningham in 1864. His son John, who was the first to enter the undertaking business with his father, preceded him in death in 1887. John Henry, himself, and his first three children all by Mary Elizabeth, and his brother James, all died from nephritis, Bright's disease or some other form of kidney disease. John Henry Hindle was a trustee of and instrumental in the creation of Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Paterson. John H. Hindle had an infant, unnamed, bapt. Cross Street M.E. Church 16 Jun 1863. Which child is unknown. Family Card
Ann H. Hindle Norris (Fourth Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
She married James Norris who was a fish dealer, saloon keeper and proprietor of the Erie Hotel according to censuses and directories. When they were first married they were living in 1860 with James' parents in Ramapo, New York. Their son Nelson C. Norris was a fire fighter for Paterson who died in 1902. Obituary Daughter Annie died a spinster in 1911. The Nelson Norris descendants seem to have spread out from Paterson. We have Nelson's wife's name straightened out thanks to another researcher working on a collateral line. One branch went to Pennsylvania, some seem to have ended up in Washington, another was in Connecticut working for the railroad, and it is possible there are some in Florida. There are recent additions of members of this family in the census records, particularly the daughters, Fannie and Annie whose families were located with help of a researcher whose husband is descended from Annie and finding Alfred Norris living with his sister, Fannie, in the census in Connecticut. Family Card
Emma Hindle (Fifth Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
A christening was found for Emma Hindle, daughter of John and Elizabeth Hindle in St. Paul's Epsicopal Church records by Arlette Keri. This daughter does not appear in any censuses and it is assumed she died very young.
Salina Hindle Westervelt (Sixth Daughter of John and Elizabeth)
Salina's name has been variously spelled Selina, Celina, Slina, Sabina. It is probable she is the "Caroline" listed with Martin Westervelt, the butcher in 1880. Martin, her husband, has not yet been located in the 1870 census. Salina and her daughter Kate were living with Salina's sisters. Until receiving Civil War pension papers of Martin Westervelt's widow, Selina, I had assumed he died before 1870. There is new information in the census records showing Selina's daughter Kate and her family. They were living at 15 Weiss in Paterson. Family Card
James Augustus Hindle (Second Known Son of John and Elizabeth)
James was also a partner in the undertaking business with his brother, John. He served in the Civil War and died at an early age also of Bright's disease. Information on this son was obtained from his descendant, Arlette Keri. New census information on this line has been added to the census records. Family Card
