Ulster Scotch-Irish to colonial Pennsylvania
The paternal Hindman trunk. Rev. John Hindman of London Grove (1720 Ulster to 1795 Chester County Pennsylvania), through Samuel Hindman Sr. (born Ireland 1762, settled Allegheny Pennsylvania), down through five generations of Illinois Hindmans to Brant's father Bill. The Hyndman surname is Scottish occupational (hind + man). The Tyrone Sliocht Airt O'Neill story documented at Killadrey townland in 1666 belongs to the neighbours, not the ancestors.
