Ahnentafel #436 - Charles Hinkle

Captain Charles Anthony Hinkle

Born: 1741 Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Died: between October 10 & November 5, 1783 Rowan County, North Carolina

Buried: Unknown, possibly at nearby Bethany Church Cemetery where Philip Fox is buried or on his farm.  If you are in the area, it's worth a visit. 

Married: ca. 1761 Elizabeth Johnson in Pennsylvania

Occupation: teamster bringing goods from Pennsylvania to North Carolina with his brothers:
wagoning between North Carolina and Pennsylvania seems to have been the main business of Anthony 3rd, his sons Wendel and Nathan and his brothers Charles, Peter, Henry, Benjamin and Michael.  All of whom were located in Rowan County and on Abbott's Creek except Benjamin and Michael who bought land on Dutchman Creek.  In both the records of the Moravians and the Pennsylvania Archives there are references to the Hinkle Wagons carrying supplies and letters, and during the Revolutionary War they carried Army supplies also.
