Yes Alma was one at the beginning who find me and answerd Hinkle questions I had just started my research and I did not hardly know where to begin let alone help others. I was really wet behind the ears. Alma found me and wrote e-mailed me sent me pictures and of the Piney Grove Baptist Church & Cemetery, there in Whitley County,Kentucky. Alma sent me family sheet reports a copy of the Land Deed the when James Madison Hinkle and his 2nd wife Mary "Polly" Taylor Hinkle gave land for the Pinry Grove Baptist Church & Cemetery to been built, church services are still taking place and burial still going on also. But James Madison Hinkle was Alma's GGG Grandfather and my GGGG Grandfather. Alma helped me in a very much, I sent Hinkle pictures to her the one picture I sent her was of her Great Grandfather James Maddison Hinkle Peter Hinkle & Margaret Elizabeth Jones Hinkle's oldest son and 1st born. It was a family picture of all of Peter & Margaret's children it was taken around 1933 in Pulaski County,Kentucky. I have a 8x10 picture of it. Just thankful to have known Alma and for all she had done for me. Will miss her a great deal. I just guess Alan feel lost with out his sister, I know Alma spent time with him when he had hearts operation I would say maybe 2 years ago, there in Florida. She sent Christmas card and many Hinkle Information everytime I would get something new I would share with Alma.
