Eric: No DSL service so couln not mover around your web site. I would
like to
follow up on Nancy Pinkley. Both Robert and Wilson
Pinkley/Pinkney/Pinckney were illiterate (census records) so name spelling
may have been left to someone else. In the Eden R. Martin, "History of
SullivanCo., IL the and on Coles co,. IL marriage records Wilson was both
Pinckney and Pinkney. I also found a Benjamin Pinckley in Coles co onthe
1840 census but missing in 1850. Both spellings are probably correct The
fact that Wilson Pinkney and Martha Pinkley had merged their families and
were so enumerated in PoseyTwp., Clay co., IN 1850 Federal Census creates
the obvious question.
The oral history in the Reed family indicates Sarah Ann (Pinkney) Reed
claimed
relationship to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, aristocrat, soldier
and politician, b. in SC who attained flag rank and ran for VP 1800 & 1804
on the Federalist ticket. James Scott Matin, m. Mary Virginia
Feagle/Feagley. Their daughter, Mary Jane Martin m. Wilson
Pinkney/Pinckney/Pinkley, c
Clay co, IL 17 Aug 1837. A Feagle descendant was researching the
Pinckney family but apparently lost interest
Sarah Ann d. in 1879. Generations since have attempted to find her
without success
until I stumbled onto the reason, i.e. the spelling of the
name. Any help or suggestion you may have will be appreciated. Thanks,
Joseph Reed Williams
P.S. The Ringo history indicates that Johnny Ringo who met the Earp
brothers in
Tombstone is a member of that clan
