Thurs., July 16, 1807, Raleigh Minerva
   DIED, at the house of JAMES LEWIS, ESQ., of Hillsboro’, on the 27th June, 
COL. THOMAS HINES, in his 81st year of age, for the last 30 years an 
inhabitant of Wake County, and for most of that period a useful and most 
active citizen. – He was a member of the Convention which sat at Hillsboro in 
1788 to decide on the Federal Constitution, and for many years represented 
this county in the State Legislature, in which several states he acquitted his 
trust with fidelity – and has ever supported a fair and upright character. For 
the last six years, he was affected with palsey, which rendered him unable to 
converse with his family and friends, having destroyed his powers of speech 
and in a great measure, his reason. Three weeks before his dissolution he was 
attacked with a diarrhea, which caused a mortification of the intestines and 
death ensued. His numerous friends are requested to attend his funeral at the 
house of MR. SAMUEL ALSTON, on Sunday, the 26th instant.
