I now know that William Hinds was recruited by Spotswood Henry* and that he was in the U.S. Army, not the Virginia militia.  I knew that a pension had been received by his wife and children, but did not have a pension case number.  I knew his date of death, but had never seen any mention of Province Island Barracks.

 *Captain Spotswood Henry was probably Alexander Spotswood Henry, the son of Patrick Henry

William Hinds lived in Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia.  The History of Southwest Virginia... has an account of Captain Spotswood Henry's recruiting efforts.
