General Notes: Husband - Philip Christopher 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.

Philipp Christoph Hinkle[57,58,105] born 7 May 1740 and baptized 21 May 1740 at the old Monocacy settlement.[22] He apparently is the Philip Hinkle who in 1778 enlisted from Frederick County, Maryland, in the "German Regiment" of Maryland and Pennsylvania, and served for nine months while the regiment was at White Plains, New York.[80,81] After the Revolutionary War, Philip appears to have gone to Rowan County, North Carolina, with his cousins (sons of his deceased uncle Jacob Anthony Henckel[83]). Philip died in Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina, in Jan 1810.[58] He was without heirs, for in 1810 he willed all his possessions there to one of his cousins.[82]

Schantz in Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1982); under baptisms (Note: pastor Stöver's practice was to record the names only of the child, the father, and the sponsors, omitting the name of the mother):

George Henckel (at Monocacy):
Philipp Christoph, born 7 May 1740, bapt. 21 May 1740 (sponsors, John Philipp Kuntz and wife)

57. Correspondence from John F. Dern of Redwood City, CA, to Robert L. Hess, Oakland, CA, 6 Aug 1993:
"About 1787, #521 [Rev.] Paul Hinkel listed the children of Georg Henkel, son of the 'ersten Henkel' [the first Henkel in America, Anthony Jacob Henckel], as: George, Balser, Jacob, Margret Schmit, Philip, Jo___. He knew them all ... I have never settled on ... a plausable reason for the order in which he listed them."

List of recruits belonging to the German Regiment, White Plains, 5 September 1778: . . . Philip Hinkel, 9 months.
81. H. J. Retzer, The German Regiment of Maryland and Pennsylvania in the Continental Army 1776-1781, Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD, 2992; pages 23 and 91:
To replenish the depleted ranks of the Continental Army at Valley Forge, Congress established quotas for individual states. Maryland was to raise 2,902 men, to be apportioned among the counties; Frederick County's quota was 309 men. Unfilled quotas were to be filled by draftees from the militia, and draftees were authorized to hire substitutes to go in their place.

Among the militia substitutes enlisted from Frederick County, Maryland, on 13 Jun 1778 was Philip Henkel. He was assigned to a Maryland company of the German Regiment, and he may have arrived in time to participate with the regiment against the British and Hessian army withdrawing from Philadelphia though New Jersey on 27 June 1778. In September 1778 Philip Hinkle was still serving with the Regiment at White Plains, New York.

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.

Philip Christopher Hinkle (Henkel)[142] [HG#43] was born 7 May 1740 in the Monocacy settlement, (now) Frederick County, Maryland; baptized May 21, 1740 by the Lutheran pastor John Caspar Stoever; sponsors were John Philip Kuntz and wife[143]; died in January 1810, Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina. Single.

He served in the Revolutionary War. On 2 June 1778, Philip Hinkle enlisted for nine months as a substitute in the "German Regiment" from Frederick County, Maryland, for service in the Continental Army. As Philip Hinkel he appears on "A List of Recruits belonging to the German Regiment," commanded by Lieut. Colonel Weltner at White Plains, New York, on 5 September 1778, with 9 months time of service.[145]

After the Revolutionary War, Philip apparently went to Rowan County, North Carolina, with his cousins Anthony, Charles, Peter, Michael, Henry, and Benjamin, sons of his deceased uncle Jacob Anthony Henckel [HG#6]. Philip appeared to be without heirs, for in his will dated 1810 he bequeathed all his possessions there to his cousin Benjamin Hinkle [HG#69]:

... I Philip Hinkle of the county of Rowan and state of North Carolina . . . do bequeath unto my cousin Benjamin Hinkle with whom I now live, one rifle gun, one cow, and all my wearing apparel of every description, . . . and $65 in cash, . . . and I do hereby . . . make [him] my sole Executor . . .[146]

NOTES:

142. Philip was identified as a son of [HG#4] George Rudolph Henckel in Rev. Paul Henckel's letter of ca. 1787.
