Hello Ken how are you doing. I also have the same report on Jack Hinsons rifle. It once was said to be in the possession of a man in Clarksville, TN but there is nothing to substantate this claim, only word of mouth. My Uncle's great grandfather served with Captain Jack Hinson. 2nd Lt. Edward Plummer Martin, who lived in Big Rock, TN and is buried there. He was serving in Company E, 10th Tennessee Cavalry (which no records exist) and was on special duty under the orders of Gen Forrest to assist Capt. Jack Hinson who would aid in destroying telegraph lines between Johnsonville and Nashville and Clarksville and Fort Donelson. Their company were captured on the Tennessee & Duck river near Waverly, Tennessee and paroled at Ft. Donelson on May 13, 1865, of which Hermon F. Johnson was Captain and Edward P. Martin was 2nd Lt.
