Licensed to preach as a minister of the Presbyterian church and figured prominently in the public life of his adopted state as judge of the court of Franklin county. At about that time it was necessary to swear allegiance to the king of Great Britain but he changed the oath so that it would read: "As long as the colonies retained their allegiance to the British crown." One of his brothers went to Virginia and 83 years later, when grandson William Conley Hindman was teaching school in Racine, Ohio, an old man one day approached him and asked him if he had relatives in Virginia, telling him of a certain Thomas Hindman who had a wife and four children, three daughters and a son. The Indians surprised them and killed the parents and knocked the children on the head, but they were saved by neighbors. The eldest daughter, however, was scalped and ever afterward wore a cap to cover her head. This Thomas Hindman, was a brother (of David Hindman)
