he is probably the John h. listed above - but seem unlikyly to be son of Samul - more elikely to be a grandson of samuel.

The Hinam listed in the 1850 census matches the listing of John H both b. about 1844

thus the only place he seems to fit is as a son of Wesley / John Wesley Bussard bUT nothing has been found to document it
