7. William Hinkle[7] was born about 1776-1780.[8] He moved with his parents to Frederick County, Maryland about 1780, and to Lincoln County, North Carolina in 1784/5. Prior to 1801 he married Jane White, a daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth White of Chester County, South Carolina.[9] They had ten children, born between 1799 and 1819.[10]

William and Jane moved to York County, South Carolina, where in 1803 he bought 38 acres of land on Fishing Creek.[1] In 1805 William bought 140 acres of land in Lincoln County, North Carolina,[2] and about that time he and Jane moved there. He appears here in 1810 and 1820 residing near [his brother] Jacob Hinkle and [his mother] Widow Christina Hinkle.[3] William bought 145¾ more acres in Lincoln County in l829.[4]

Like his father, William was a tanner.[5] He died early in 1831 leaving an estate consisting of his tan yard, a store, and his plantation that was subsequently divided into nine parts.[6]

Further research findings on William and his family were published in the HENCKEL GENEALOGICAL BULLETIN, Volume 7 (1976), pages 274-277.
