I am not related but enjoy looking up genealogy information needed from the CG area. 1850 Cape Girareau Census - pate 56 HINKLE Levi 38 M KY Matilda 36 F MO Cyndarilla 15 F MO Marvin L. 14 M MO Orilla E. 12 F MO Arena 8 F MO Columbia J. 4 F MO Levi M. 2 M MO Nepolean 6/12 M MO 1860 Cape Girardeau Federal Census - page 359 HINKEL Levi 49 M NC Matilda A. 46 F Marim S. 23 M Juno 17 F Josephine 15 F Levi M. 12 M Napolean S. 10 M Cornelia 8 F Julia 6 F John A. 4 M Laura J. 2 F 1870 Cape Girardeau County Census - page 157 - Shawnee Township HINKEL Levi 58 M KY Mathilda 56 F MO Marion L. 33 M MO Monroe 22 M MO Scott 20 M MO Cornelia 18 F MO Julia 16 F MO John 14 M MO Jennilla 13 F MO (Note: notice how they use their second given name instead of their first given name) 1876 Cape Girardeau Federal Census - page 2 - Township 33 North Range 13 East HINKLE Matilda A. F 45+ Monroe M 21-45 John A. M 18-21 Looks like Levi Hinkel/Hinkle is deceased. 1880 Cape Girardeau Federal Census - page 10 HINKLE John 24 head of house Marvin 42 bro Matilda 65 mother Now to the marriages: Cornelia Hinkle - James M. Colyer 4 Dec 1870 Julia Hinkle - Theodore Albert Stephenson 15 Aug 1872 Laura J. Hinkle - William Bonney 14 Nov 1875 Scott Hinkle - Marsha Beal 28 Aug 1870 John A. Hinkle - Laura C. Cotner 15 Jan 1884 Columbia J. Hinkle - James P. Thompson 17 May 1866 Napolean S. Hinkle - Narcendia C. Wilson 24 March 1874 Levi M. Hinkle - Amanda C. Shoults 17 March 1878 (note: Laura is probably Jennilla Napelean S. is probably Scott Columbia J. is probably Juno Levi M. is probably Monroe) The Shoults Cemetery is located on county road 506, off highway 61, near Appleton, Missouri, and near the Perry County Line. I hope this information helps answer a few genealogy questeion. Now you know why Matilda is buried at Shoults Cemetery - her son Levi married a Shoults lady !!
