Hi Jennifer, I don't know if I'm the Helen that can help you or not. But here I am. ggg I'm hoping you mean Col. Jesse Hinkle instead of Harper. I'll send you all I have on Col.

I hope this has helped a little. Maybe you can find some leads here. If you have something to help fill in my blank info, sure would appreciate it. And I'm always glad to meet another cousin. That's one reason I like "researching" my families. I don't get on here as often as I'd like. My husband has been in and out of the hospital a lot here lately. Sooo, I sneak in some time when 'er I can. ggg Helen HKFEST@prodigy.net
