Very possibly your Hindsleys came from North Carolina through Tennessee and then some of them came up to Ohio and Indiana (my ancestors) while other Hindsleys went to Texas etc.There are no Hindsleys now in North Carolina with the name spelled HINDSLEY except for those that migrated to Ohio, and some of them moved back.Other variations of the spelling of Hindsley do occur in NC.It appears that the branch that went to Tennessee for 3 years then on up to Ohio and Indiana changed the spelling to HINDSLEY, and that is why I think that you may be from that branch - or possibly others that went to Tennessee.There are presently in Indianapolis a few Hindsleys from that branch.To give you any help, you will have to get back further on the Hindsley line before there is much chance of getting you connected.Try talking with some aunts, uncles of other relatives - check the newspaper obituary of your father's death for the names of his parents or the funeral home records.Good luck.
