General Notes: Husband - Henry Hinkle

RLH:

The following is from a research article sent to me by Robert L. Hess of Oakland, California. See notes under George Rudolph Henckel. According to The Henckel Genealogy (pgs 154-55) the children of George Rudolph were George, John Balthasar, Philip Christopher, Jacob, Margaret, Henry, and other daughters. Recent research shows that this list was correct, though incomplete. Numbers in brackets indicate notes.

Henry Hinkle, probably born in the mid to late 1720s[1] and probably in New Hanover Township, Pennsylvania. He moved with his parents to the Monocacy Settlement, Maryland, about 1737. On 3 Jun 1769 Henrich Hünkel attended communion at St. Peter's Lutheran church in Frederick County, Maryland.[51] Henry married Mary ______; they had a least one child, Jacob.[7] At some time this family moved from Maryland to Virginia; when the tax rolls were begun in Frederick County, Virginia, in 1782, Henry Hinkle was listed there with two horses and a cow; [his father] George Hinkle was listed nearby. Henry continued to be listed in the personal tax rolls there each year through 1791.[55] In Sept 1788 he received a half-lot, willed to him on the death of his father,[9] and this is the land he appears to have been taxed on from 1789 through 1791.[56] His name was gone from the personal tax records in 1791 and from the land tax records there in 1792, and no further record of him is known.[2]

NOTES for HENRY HINKLE:

1. A "Jacob Hünckel son of Henry" sponsored a baptism at St. Peter's Church, Frederick County, Maryland, on 4 May 1769,[7] suggesting that this Jacob was born no later than about 1750, and that his father Henry was born therefore before about 1730.
2. On 14 December 1791 another Henry Hinkle, also of Frederick County, Virginia, leased Lot No. 50 of the Opequon Tract, containing 354 acres for the duration of the natural lives of the said Henry Hinkle, Mary his wife, and Jacob his son[108]; this Henry Hinkle was then listed in the tax rolls of Frederick County, Virginia, from 1793 through 1797. This latter Henry Hinkle was a younger man; he appears to have been a son of Leonard (not a known relative of the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel.)[109] The existence of these two Henry Hinkles in the same county and time frame has caused much confusion for Hinckel family historians over the past several decades.

HENCKEL GENEALOGICAL BULLETIN:

The following description is part of an article by Robert L. Hess in the Spring 2005 (Vol 36, No 1) issue of the Henckel Genealogical Bulletin about George Rudolphus Henckel (q. v.) and his children. Numbers in brackets indicate notes which follow.

Henry Hinkle [HG#46] was born about 1732,[106] probably in New Hanover Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; married Mary (maiden name unknown-?-). One son identified. Henry apparently moved with his parents to the Monocacy Settlement, Maryland, about 1737. On 3 June 1769 Henrich Hünkel attended communion at St. Peter's Lutheran church in Frederick County, Maryland, in company with [his brother] Jacob Hünkel, [their father] George Hünkel, and "the other" Georg Hünkle with wife Barbara.[107]

Henry married and at some time moved from Maryland to Virginia. When tax rolls began in Frederick County, Virginia, in 1782, Henry Hinkle was listed there with 2 horses and a cow. [His father] George Hinkle in 1782 was listed nearby. Henry continued to be listed in the tax rolls there each year through 1791.[108]

In September 1788 the will of George Hinkle, Henry's father, was probated, leaving among other things "the half lot that I live on [in Frederick County, Virginia] to my wife Mary . . . And further, after my wife's decease "son Henry to have the 1/2 lot on the death of his mother and to pay to his brothers and sisters as much as I paid for the 1/2 lot to be divided equally among them."[109] From 1789 through 1791, this Henry Hinkle was taxed on 75 acres[110] (which appears to be half the 150 acres on which George Hinkle and Henry Hinkle had paid taxes there in 1787 and 1788). This Henry's name was gone from the personal tax records in 1791 and from the land tax records in 1792.

In 1791 (another) Henry Hinkle of Frederick County, Virginia, leased Lot No. 50 of the Opequon Tract in Frederick County, containing 354 acres, for the duration of the natural lives of the said Henry Hinkle, Mary his wife, and Jacob his son;[111] this Henry Hinkle was then listed in the tax rolls of Frederick County, Virginia, from 1793 through 1797. This latter Henry Hinkle appears to have been born about 1749, a son of Leonard Hinkle (not a known relative of the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel.)[112]

NOTES:

105 The surviving fragment of Paul Hinckel's letter of about 1787 did not include the name "Henry" as a son of [HG#4] George Rudolph Hinckel; however, that list was not necessarily complete.
106 A "Jacob Hünckel son of Henry" sponsored a baptism at St. Peter's Church, Frederick County, Maryland, on 4 May 1769, suggesting that this Jacob was born no later than about 1750, and that his father Henry was born therefore before about 1730.

OPEQUON TRACT:

There were two Henry Hinkles in Frederick Co., Virginia at the time that one of them leased the Opequon tract. It is not entirely clear which one of them was the lessee, but it does not matter much. Since George Rudolphus's son Henry had a son named Jacob, based on a baptismal record in Frederick Co., Maryland, and since the lessee had a son named Jacob, I think it is highly likely that the lessee was Henry, son of George Rudolphus. I have discussed this with Robert Hess, and he agrees; he also agrees that which one of them it was does not have any major genealogical consequences. Since the lessee's wife was Mary, we can say that Henry, son of George Rudolphus, had a wife named Mary.

THE HENCKEL GENEALOGY:

The following is on page 155 of The Henckel Genealogy:

46 Henry Hinkle, married Mary __________. One (1) son identified. Henry Hinkle appears in the will of his father (Will Book 5, page 199. Winchester, Virginia).
