Research Notes

• The 1869 directory to Manor Township shows David Binkley with post office of Safe Harbor -- [http:/rootsweb.com/~pacahsmano1869.htmThe Conestoga Historical Society, 2007]. The 1869 directory also shows a John Herr with post office of Safe Harbor, presumably David's son-in-law.
• The directory of inhabitants of Manor Tp also shows David's father Zephaniah with post office at Millersville. Brother Christian is a farmer at Columbia. Samuel, Peter, and Henry Binkley are also farmers with the post office address Millersville. Who was Samuel? Perhaps Johnson Binkley's son, who died at Safe Harbor. [http:/rootsweb.com/~pacahsmano1869.htm The Conestoga Historical Society, 2007].
• The 1899 Lancaster County map near Safe Harbor in Manor Tp of Lancaster Co, on the Susquehannah, shows there are 3 entries that could be him and his son David E. : D. E. Binkley is east of Safe Harbor and north of the Safe Harbor school; Dav. Binkley and D. Binkley are both on 'an unnamed road on the west side of Conestoga Creek on map insert, both are on the main road of Safe Harbor west of the Creek -- one or both of these last could be David Fry Binkley, D.E.'s father. -- 1899 Graves & Steinbarger Lancaster County Historical Atlas, reprinted.
• In 1903 he was living with his son in law John N. Herr (Alice's husband) and John's own parents in Manor Tp.
