William Hankins. [1]
Residence 1773 Burlington County, NJ. [2]
William was born in 1706. He passed away in 1785. William and Mary were both of Monmouth County, New Jersey. They moved from New Jersey to Surry County, North Carolina and raised a large family......however, some time in the late 1770"s, they appeared to have gone back to New Jersey. We have other of their children traced also... one son in Ohio. One in Kentucky and we are working on tracing some of the other.
Military Service: Private in Revolutionary War. Server under General Marion (Mark Hankins-163 suggests Hankinson-482 is the right age to fight under Marion, not his father or grandfather).
From Peggy Gilkey: This family starting back with William B: 1709 was in Monmouth, N.J. Thomas Hankins, the family that Debroah Eaton researches was also in Monmouth, N.J., he was born bef. 1710. A lot of researches think they were brothers, but have no documentation on this.
From Peggy Gilkey: I think all of John and Rhonda Ireland Hankins were born in North Carolina and then the whole family left and went to Fayette Co. PA., in 178. John was 45. Then 4 or 5 of John's son's went to the Wilson Co. Ten. area. This was about 1791. They were William, Samuel, Richard, Arthur and John Jr
James Hankins. B: July 24, 1780 stayed in Fayette Co. Pa.
