Agree that they are not the same person.

Hankinson 249 is probably this person and not Hankins 249: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13425962/john-hankinson

Hankinson-249 and Hankins-249 do not represent the same person because: Different parents

Hankinson-249 and Hankins-249 appear to represent the same person because: The Hankins in Virginia with a large family of girls mentioned in "This Old Monmouth of Ours" was not any of the third generation of Richards although the writer called him Richard. John fits. However, John Hankins, if he were the son of Thomas Jr. would not have moved to Virginia but would have been born there and likely unknown to the TOMOO author, however the John Hankinson born in New Jersey would have been known. Hankins/Hankinson was fluid in those days, and likely on arrival in VA where the Hankins name was well-known, John shortened his name. It's probably inconsequential which is the surname and which is the AKA.

Strange coincidence between Hankins-249 and Hankinson-249. Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something. There is a record of a Hankins moving to VA with a large number of girls that misidentifies another Hankins but John is the only one who fits. It's possible the unsourced record has the correct parentage, I believe Thomas John would have been in Virginia before John's birth so how could John then move to Virginia? Further, the presumably New Jersey-connected writer would be less likely to even know of a Virginia-born branch of the family in the days before easy communication.

For the reader just dropping in, it's becoming apparent that many Hankinsons shortened their names. Although there's no clear pattern for it, the practice seems more prevalent among those who moved South.

Hankins-431 and Hankins-249 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate profiles for one man. Same wife, location, similar birth date. Both birth dates, or range, can be noted in profile.
