John Hankins father was Richard Hankins born abt 1733 in Frederick County, VA and his mother was possibly Deborah Churchman (but that is unproven right now).

John Hankins grandfather was Thomas Hankins b. 1705 in New Hanover Twp, Monmouth County, NJ, d. bef 5 Apr 1748 in Frederick County, VA. John Hankins grandmother was Mary Clevenger born abt 1706 in New Hanover Twp, Monmouth County, NJ and d. bef 5 Apr 1748 in Frederick County, VA.

Hankins-56 and Hankins-11 appear to represent the same person because: Birth and death dates line up, but one's more or less a stub with a different wife. People were widowed back then. Frequently.

I rejected the merge between Hankins-744 and Hankins-11 as the biography of Hankins-11 indicates that they have different parents
Hankins-744 and Hankins-11 are not ready to be merged because: Hankins-11 needs more detail info before a merge can be considered.

Hankins-744 and Hankins-11 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be the same people, but the unsourced 744 mistakenly places his birth in NJ.
Apparently, the lack of dates on this profile is preventing it from being merged. Please take another look at this situation.
