I am looking for any information about John James Brinkley (or Binkley) that I can find. Here is what I think I know about him. He was born in 1815 in Lewisville, NC married Mary Polly Yoakley Aug 12, 1835. He had a son William Lewis Brinkley born 1836 in Lewisville, NC. Married Jaina. He had another son Thomas Henry Brinkley born 1838 in Lewisville, NC. Married Sarah Jane Lancaster on June 25, 1861 in Mecklenburg Co., NC. He also had a daughter Mary Polly Brinkley born 1840 in Lewisville, NC. Married Joseph L. Haskett May 5, 1865. He had another daughter Elizabeth Ann Brinkley born 1844 in Lewisville, NC. Married James Marshall Turner Jan 11, 1868. He had another son William James Brinkley born Nov 1845 in Lewisville, NC. Married Emily Ann Brandon on Dec 3, 1868. William James is buried in Warners Chapel, Lewisville, NC. He also had a son James Ervin Brinkley born 1849 in Lewisville, NC. Married Charity Simpson Jan 17, 1868. There were also two other daughters Emma born 1852 and Julia born 1853 in Lewisville. Does anyone know who John James father might be? Does anyone where John James is buried. Is his last name Brinkley or Binkley? The census has him both ways.
