His name has always been listed as Tink. I believe there were two of them. One earlier operated a Grist Mill. The one to whom you're referring married Parley Loy Hutcheson in 1902. At least that's who I believe she was. I have never been able to determine that this was actually Parley Loy Hutcheson because according to my records Parley's Loy's husband, Daniel did not die until 1829. If you get a good answer that's not published on this mailing list, please let me know. There must be more to the story that what I know.
