Ron Thank you for your response and your offer to share information. In response to your question of "what was my name of interest" -- Generally, I'm interested in filling in the holes of my tree, so the answer is, ... many. Particularly??? I am of the John1/Lewis2/Richard3/Ola4 HANKINS lineage. -- Ola (HANKINS) McMAHON of Muscatine Co. was my grandmother. I had a copy of the interments at Brockway that you sent, but perhaps you can identify the "F.G. HANKINS" that is listed for me. Was that the person I have recorded as George in the generation one column??? Brockway Cemetery Records, Muscatine County, Iowa Conesville (city), Orono Township, Section 9 surname given name year of interment inscription HANKINS Elizabeth 1867 w/o F.G. HANKINS Elizabeth 1899 w/o Timothy HANKINS Mary 1882 w/o John HANKINS Timothy 1896 The fist two generations of my lineage follow for your information and orientation. GENERATION ONE John Hankins b. 2/25/1794 d.10/15/1876 (died and buried in Wyandot Co, Ohio) married Mary Young b. 2/13/1802 d. 1/3/1892 (buried at Brockway Cemetery, Conesville) Children: Timothy Hankins b. abt 1824 d. 1896 Lewis Hankins b. 12/25/1825 d. 8/14/1892 (Tree fairly complete) Susan Hankins b. d. (I have been sent a fairly exhaustive tree on Susan.) George Hankins b. d. (I have nothing) Thomas Hankins b. 1/1/1831 d. 6/21/1875 (What you see is what I have.) GENERATION 2 Lewis Hankins b. 12/25/1825 d. 8/14/1892 married 3/22/1851 Francis A. Lee b. 11/10/1835 d. 8/27/1912 Children: Amanda Hankins (I have nothing.) Mary Hankins (I have nothing.) James Hankins (I have nothing.) Marian Hankins (I have nothing.) John Hankins (I have nothing.) John Hankins (I have nothing.) Richard W. Hankins b. 4/21/1853 d. 12/12/1933 Lewis' family I have a pretty good idea of, but until just recently, I didn't even know the others even existed, soooo I have a long way to go. I will certainly appreciate anything you, or anyone else on the list, can do to enlighten my ignorance of these lives who were so much a part of my history. Thanks in advance for your help.
