Notebooks - Mom's Families No. 3, Part II

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

In my first published venture in pre-Penn genealogy in the Delaware valley in 1983, I advanced the theory that my ancestor, the Swedish soldier Peter Jochimsson, was not only the father of Peter Peterson Yocum but "probably also had a daughter named Elizabeth Petersdotter, who later married John Ogle, one of the soldiers participating in the English conquest of the Dutch in

Notebook - Military #1, Part 1

Andrea, Leonardo. South Carolina Colonial Soldiers & Patriots, Columbia, SC: Daughters of Colonial Wars in the State of South Carolina, 1952.
Colonial Counties of South Carolina -This section is added for the benefit of people who research in the colonial period of South Carolina. A man who is listed in Berekley County may be found in Union or Orangeburg while a man in Colleton County may be found in Edgefield.
South Carolina had four colonial counties of Granville, Berkeley, Colleton and Craven. These counties at first extended fifty miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean.  When settlements began further inland, the counties were extended to the North Carolina line. These counties do not have any of hte functions of the modern counties. Charleston was the county seat of all four counties. From 1670 to 1782-85 all court records, will, administrations and deeds were recorded in Charleston and are still to be found there in the Charleston County Court House.
