HINTON, Samuel – (d. 1802)

DIED – At his father’s house, in the vicinity of this city, Mr. Samuel HINTON, son of Major John HINTON.  This deserving young man had long lingered under the pressure of a consumptive disease, which baffled medical skill, and rendered the unremitted attention of maternal and fraternal love unavailing, fe<…>ing only to make easy the certain approach of death.  He was esteemed a young man of promising talents, and his death is regretted as a loss to that society which his early connect promised to adorn.
