Biography

William was born in 1709. He passed away in 1785.

William Hankins. ^[1]

Residence 1773 Burlington County, NJ. ^[2]

William was born in 1706. He passed away in 1785. William and Mary were both of Monmouth County, New Jersey. They moved from New Jersey to Surry County, North Carolina and raised a large family......however, some time in the late 1770"s, they appeared to have gone back to New Jersey. We have other of their children traced also... one son in Ohio. One in Kentucky and we are working on tracing some of the other.

Military Service: Private in Revolutionary War. Server under General Marion (Mark Hankins-163 suggests Hankinson-482 is the right age to fight under Marion, not his father or grandfather).

From Peggy Gilkey: This family starting back with William B: 1709 was in Monmouth, N.J. Thomas Hankins, the family that Debroah Eaton researches was also in Monmouth, N.J., he was born bef. 1710. A lot of researches think they were brothers, but have no documentation on this.

From Peggy Gilkey: I think all of John and Rhonda Ireland Hankins were born in North Carolina and then the whole family left and went to Fayette Co. PA., in 178. John was 45. Then 4 or 5 of John's son's went to the Wilson Co. Ten. area. This was about 1791. They were William, Samuel, Richard, Arthur and John Jr

James Hankins. B: July 24, 1780 stayed in Fayette Co. Pa.

In 1780 he bought land in Surry County. In 1781 a Surry County road ran near his his land to meeting house. Neither the Surry County, North Carolina index of will, the New Jersey Archives or Fayette County Pennsylvania index lists a will of William Hankins.

Other information from Surry County, North Carolina Land Entry Book states that in 1778, Surry County, John Martin entered land in Surry County near Fox Nobs which included improvements whereon William Hankins was living. William Hankins entered 100 acres of land on head of James Jones Creek and waters on the North of John McMickel's line, east of John Martins entry. William Hankins also entered 300 acres along road to Fox Nob from his house and warrant was granted. William and Mary had ten children, three of who died young. William's wife Mary was still living in 1794 and named in the Knox County, Tennessee will of her son Robert Eveland Hankins.
