Land Grants of St. Stephens, Alabama Territory, Hugh and Azariah Tinnin received a grant in Washington Co. in 1808.


It wasn't long before Hugh, Jr. and his brother moved up to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He married Elizabeth Harris 30 January, 1814 in Cape Giradeau, Mo.(Marriage Lisence Bk. A. #109) She was the daughter of James and Sally Farrar Bibb Harris. James died in Lincoln Co., Ga. in 1804 (will dated 1803).

Missouri didn't become a territory until 1812. It wasn't until 1815 that the Treaty was signed with the Indians. In 1820, Hugh and Elizabeth moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas, (later Independence Co.) where Hugh became one of the first members of the Arkansas State Legislature. He also petitioned for, and got, one of the first, if not THE first, mail routes in Arkansas. It was probably while serving on the State Legislature that he met Maj. Jake Wolf, whose daughter, Amanda, married Azariah, son of Hugh.

1.  Azariah Tinnin b. 1816 was a very active Mason and helped established the first Masonic Lodge west of the Mississippi. The Adams Masonic Lodge #164, Norfolk, Arkansas was chartered Nov. 7, 1861 by 20 charter members, including Azariah Tinnin, who was elected Secretary.
Shortly after the Civil War, Azariah and Amanda, along with their family, moved to Salado, Texas. Azariah had Tinnin cousins who settled this area. (one cousin, Jeramiah Tinnin had gone there with Robertson's Colony.) Azariah had a general merchandise store just across the street from the Old Stage Coach Inn in Salado. He was also a blacksmith, and a "jack of all trades", which he picked up from his father and father-in-law, Jacob Wolf, no doubt. When he moved to Salado, one of his first actions was to join the Masons in Texas.
