SUMMARY:

The following is in a biographical sketch of Ann's eldest son William Hinkle.

By trade the father of our subject was a carpenter. He died in Alabama when our subject was about six years old, at the age of thirty years. William was the oldest in the family of five children, the others being John, Alexander, Catherine and Baltis; but himself and John are the only ones now living. After the death of Mr. Hinkle his widow returned to the home of her parents, Andrew and Elizabeth (Jones) Downing, whose children were: Mary, John, Catherine, Annie, William, James, Sarah and Jonathan. Mr. Downing died in Tennessee, in 1844, at the ripe old age of seventy-eight years. For her second husband the mother of our subject wedded Tyrance Emerson, by whom she had five children. Her death also occurred in Tennessee, in the fall of 1855, at the age of fifty years.
