Was surprised to read the name of Nathaniel Hankins and I realize this is
not the Nathaniel that I am looking for but possibly the father John had a
brother Nathaniel. The Nathaniel I am looking for married a young widow
Jane (Burton) Walker in 1811 Shelby County, Kentucky. She died
approximately 4 years later. I do not know if she had any children with
Hankins or not, but she had four young children by Walker and her brother
Prettyman Burton received/acquired guardianship of them until the daughter
Sarah married, then her husband had guardianship of her 3 siblings. Do you
have any of this in your family history?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Mr.Hankins, I just read your posting on
Ancestry.com message
board. I am trying to find more info on the children of
John H. Hankins. These are the names I was given: Nathaniel 1808, John
Henry
1810, George W. 1812, Jeremiah 1818, William Walter 1822, Augustus
Frederick 1824, Amanda
1827, Wilhelmina Henrietta 1828, Richard 1829,and Preston 1831. As
you
are probably aware, this has been a hard bunch
of kids to track down. Seems like they scattered with the
winds! I have some of the spouses and a few of the children but would
like to find
all of them. I believe I have most of Wm. Walter's children
and spouse but no children. I
found Amanda and husband, Charles W. Keith on 1850 and 1860
but there may be more children on the 1870. I found Augustus and 5 yr.
old son,
W.H. on the 1860 Brown Co. IL. I hate it when the census taker was
too lazy to spell out whole names! Aparently his wife had died. He was
married
to Elizabeth O'Neal 8 Dec 1850 in Brown Co. I was given info
that he died 31 Jan 1898 in Nauvoo, Hancock, IL.
John Henry md Martha Ann Phegley, Wilhelmina md Isaac Hodgen
Keith, and William Walter md Louzena (Lusina) Jones. The
others I don't have. I have been using the
Ancestry.com
census index but it has been somewhat a struggle to find
them. As you know, sometimes they are listed by their middle names or
just
initials. I don't know how accurate all of this info is but it is what
I was given or found.
Do you have any more that you would be willing to share with me? I
would
really like to have the names of their children
I would really appreciate hearing from you. Shirley Taylor
