Message Board Post:
My grandmother, Meryl Newkirk, was born in Middletown, Ohio. Her grandmother was Ebenezer
and Mary's daughter Nancy Hinkley. Her mother was Nancy's daughter Rebecca Jane
Leight, known as Jennie, who was born in 1875 and married Homer Newkirk. Mary Hinkley is
listed in the 1870 Census, available on
ancestry.com, as living with Nancy and her husband
Johnathan Leight and their children in Miami Township, Clermont County, Ohio. My
grandmother referred to an "Uncle Van," her grandmother's brother, who is
undoubtedly your great grandfather.
I have been unsuccessful so far in finding out Ebenezer Hinkley or Mary Camren
Hinkley's parents. It is my understanding from my grandmother that Ebenezer Hinkley
descends from a brother of Thomas Hinkley, the "sixth and last governor of Plymouth
Colony." But I have no information on the 18th century yet to link them. My
grandmother also said Mary Camren was descended from a Lady Camren in England.
Perhaps if you read this we can share information.
Sincerely,
Aleen Crispino
