Sarah (--?--)

Born:
Died:  between 1675 and 1677 based on birth date of son Joseph and birth date of Israel Bradford, William's first child by his third wife.

Buried:

Married:
1) Francis Griswold?
2) William Bradford ca. 1674, based on birth date of son Joseph

For many years, the second wife of William Bradford was said to be a widow Wiswall / Wiswell, who later was identified as Mary (Fitch) Wiswall.  This theory has been destroyed and the newest theory is that William's second wife was Sarah (--?--) Griswold the widow of Francis Griswold.

This new theory comes from the wording of William Bradford's legacy to Joseph in his will:

To my Joseph Bradford a portion of Lands near Norwich aforesaid (which was his Mothers & part I Purchased) as may appear under hand & seal

Notebook - Mom's Families, No. 3, Part III

Eastwood, Elizabeth. General Daniel Morgan's Life - A Summary, Morgan Migrations, Vol. 18, No. 1, Spring-Summer, 1994.

The information we have found on General Daniel Morgan's ancestry, siblings and early life is meager. The names of his parents and siblings are not known and the place of his birth is claimed by both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Many different families have stated their relationship to him, but have not been able to prove it.

We'd like to summarize what we have found out about General Daniel Morgan's life. It is very important to read again some of the information given by James Graham, his first biographer, in 1859 (pages 17-22). Graham was married to one of Daniel's granddaughters, his evidence seems to us to be most valuable. He writes that very little is known of Daniel's ancestry, parentage and early history.  The only source was Gen. Morgan himself, who evaded answering questions and was very uncommunicative. Occasionally, in friendly conversation, something might be learned.  There was information from Rev. Dr. William Hill of the Presbyterian Church, Winchester, who was the General's pastor and intimate friend and was with him when he died. Zoe Steen Moore had heard of the conversations and friendship between the General and Doctor,from her friend Miss Snyder, Dr. Hill's niece. Daniel and his parents were of Welsh extraction; came from Wales to Philadelphia, between 1720-1730;

Catherine Hinkel, typescript from Davie Co., Public Library, Mocksville, NC

Every genealogist who has worked on the Henckel / Hinkel / Hinkle line comes to the conclusion that Catherine was the daughter of Anthony 3rd. who came from Pennsylvania and located on Abbott's Creek in Rowan County North Carolina where he was still living as late as 1798 when he paid tax on 3 acres of land. This three acres was sold by his son Wendel or Windle of Kentucky in 1815.

On a torn sheet of the Benjamin Eaton family bible is written the record that Catherine Hinkel, wife of John Fox was born . . . the 5, 1767. The record goes on to record that "John Fox and Catherine Hinkel were married October the 30th, 1783 and the births of ten children are given.

The third child, Amelia, married Benjamin Eaton and the letter quoted below was written by her great granddaughter Mrs. Bessie Cartner Derrick from Robinson, Kansas in 1935.

(Amelia Eaton, Grace Wiseman, Sarah Catherine Cartner, Bessie Derrick)

Speaking of Catherine Hinkel Fox, she says:

My mother told me she would not allow her children to speak English to her.

She taught her children a German hymn and great grand mother Amelia (Fox) Eaton taught it to her children, and Grace (Eaton) Wiseman taught it to her children, however it seems that my mother was the only one of Grandma's
