I received the following from Doug Pinkerton: Craig, My earliest known Pinkerton ancestor was Henry of Hopewell Twsp. NJ. He was there in 1755, and died in 1788. Married Keziah, 5 children. My ancestor was John Pinkerton, Henry's only son. John married Rachel Lequear 1st., 6 children. Married 2nd Azuba Akers, 2 children both girls. My ancestor was David his oldest son who married Rebecca Rockefeller, 10 children. My ancestor was Henry Rockefeller Pinkerton who married Juliana White, they had 11 children. My ancestor was John Wesley who 1st married Rachel Jane Kerr, 3 children. Married second Lorrvina Emmons, 4 children. My ancestor was produced by the second marriage. Frank Emmons Pinkerton was my grandfather. He married Ada Vanselous, 5 children. My dad was Doyle Allan Pinkerton who married Catherine Emery, 4 children. If you need any data on the children of any of these marriages please "E" mail me at hdougpinkerton@gateway.net P.S. The David you mentioned was probably "David of Trenton" who's son John died as a child. I suspect that David was a relative, but I don't know the exact connection. Old court records show a David Pinkerton lending money to one of my known ancestors. HDougPinkerton@gateway.net Azubah Akers was Jesse Akers sister.
