Research Notes

I want to thank the person who calls themselves "Always Searching" from Find A Grave for writing the following:

Catherine Kinkey/Kanky is the daughter of Herman and Margery Kinkey. Catherine married William Cox. She is buried by her husband William at Mill Creek Friends Cemetery in Asheboro, Randolph County, North Carolina, USA.

Catherine and her siblings was named in her father Herman's will dated 22 April 1732.

Catherine married William Cox circa 1713/1716 in Hockessin New Castle Delaware. They had 10 children and removed to North Carolina where he died in 1767 [N.C. Will Bk A 1752-1788, pg 53, et seq].

William Cox, Catherine's husband was born in 1692 in Hockessin, New Castle, Delaware. Hockessin (Ocashon) is a community that is located in the northern section of New Castle County Delaware, along the border of Pennsylvania. The territory known as Hockessin was founded in 1688 when several European families settled in the area. They named the little village Hockessin after the Lenape word hokesa, which translates to pieces of bark. At this time, the community was mainly dependent on dairy and mushroom farms.

The Kinkey sisters tie this family together: Mary Kinkey m. William Husband in 1720 at St Stephen's Episcopal Church, Earleville, MD; Catherine Kinkey m. William Cox about 1716; Margery Kinkey m. William Gregg in 1725 at Centre Mtg, New Castle County Upon Delaware.
