Michael Hinkle, married Sarah Judy, was the son of Abraham, son of John Justus Hinkle, Sen.

[Branch 5-11] Mary Harper/Hinkle who married Adam Judy was the illegitimate daughter of Col. Jesse Hinkle, son of Isaac, son of John Justus Hinkle, Senior. [Branch 5-12] >> HI: Sorry to muddy the waters but here it goes: Question 1. Is the above referenced Isaac Hinkle the same one as Isaac Harness "Harny" Hinkle who married my gr-gr grandmother, Phoebe Stone. Question 2. In Phoebe Stone's obit - there is no reference to "a" son Isaac Harness Hinkle JR. but in the parsons tech.com, it shows an Isaac Harness Jr. born to Phoebe and Isaac Harness Sr. Unless Isaac Sr. was married before he married Phoebe Stone. Question 3 I don't understand why Mary Magadalena Henkle cited above is not spelled Hinkle since her father was Hinkle. This really confuses me. Phew - my head is spinning. Finding out again - more relatives. Phew. Barbara McDonald Levine
