Hi Bruce,      I'd check the 1750 tax list for Lancaster County.  This would really cover a wider area than the current Lancaster County, it would also cover Lebanon, parts of Berks, Dauphin, Cumberland (perhaps it was formed in 1750)  other surrounding counties.  Only York County was formed in 1749 and wouldn't be included.  There is a good chance if your guy came in the 1730s or 40s, he would be on this 1750 list.  The only exception would be if he left the area and the odds are he didn't.  If you can pin your Peter Binkley to a township you can then check church records that cover that township or see if your Jacob shows up later in that township.      Maybe someone on this list has the 1750 tax list and then can check it for you.                                                                                                                                   Jim Conestoga Area Historical Society http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacahs/index.htm  ________________________________ From: Bruce Fosnocht <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 6:38:15 AM Subject: [PALANCAS] Jacob BINKLEY, b. 10/23/1736; also surnames STOCKLI, SCHLECTY, ROTH Hello, I am trying to locate the birth record for the birth above, to see if it names the mother of the child, or the location of the birth, in order to determine which Peter Binkley is the father. The following website of Monique Francois gives details about the passengers on the Princess Augusta who arrived in Philadelphia 9/16/1736. http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:jvW-C40t5bkJ:www.bgo.atmedia.fr/mediatheque/publications/princess_augusta.doc She describes two Peter Binkleys: English: PINCKELE, Pierre, son of Christian and of Elizabeth BURRI, m. Marie Salome VERLY Feb. 2 1725 in Rothau (couple may be the same as the couple known in America under the names of Peter BINKLEY and Anne-Marie WERLE) English: PINCKELE Pierre, son of Simon and of Elizabeth ZAUN, m. Verena ROTH the 8th of May 1732 at Rothau (perhaps this younger Pierre is the same one discovered by Patricia Smith who becomes the head of a family in Virginia. The first of these Peters came to Warwick in Lancaster Countyand had a daughter Christina there in 1738. He soon moved to York County, then Frederick County, MD, and then to Bethania NC. The only Jacob among his children is one born in 1767, so if the 1736 Jacob is his, the child died young. The second of these Peters is largely unknown to us. The 1736 Jacob could be his child. Monique Francois states that his wife Verena ROTH had a sister named Anna Catharine, who married Hans STOCKLI. There was also an Elizabeth ROTH, married to Christian SCHLECHTY. These families traveled together on the Princess Augusta, and probably settled near each other. Hans STOCKLI, according to a file at Rootsweb, had four children, and died in Kleinfeltersville, Lebanon Countyin 1784. Christian SCHLECHTY lived in Cocalico, and in Heidelberg, and left a will in the name SCHLECHTY. Can you look in your resources, especially the 18th century birth books by F. Edward Wright, Humphrey, or HP Publishing, for birth records for any of these families: BINKLEY/BINGLY/BANCKLE SCHLECHTY/SCHLICHTER/SCHLASTER/SCHLAGETER STOCKLI/STOCKI/STOCKLEY/STUCKEY I'm looking for any clues which might help me trace this Peter Binkley and his son Jacob.
