I am a descendant of Kenneth, Solomon, Walter Morris Hankinson. My mother, Elda Hankinson youngest child of Morris and Margaret (Pardee) Hankinson, passed away on February 14th, 2019, just short of her 90th birthday. I appreciate the geneology work that has been completed. My mother was never able to secure a birth certificate from the Commonweath of Pennsylvania.

This is very confusing, Kenneth is listed as s/o Joseph & Rachel Mattison, but in the bio section he is listed as s/o Thomas and Helena (Anderson) Hankinson. Joseph & Rachel were married 15 Feb 1732 Freeland, New Jersey (ref: PIONEER FAMILIES OF NW NEW JERSEY by William C. Armstrong, p.13. Also see AN ANCESTRAL CHART & HANDBOOK by Alice B. Rowland, pp.94-5 for this family. Kenneth is the son of Thomas & Helena Anderson were married between 1726-8 in Freehold, besides Kenneth the oldest they had Lydia, Helen, John, Reuben and William. Kenneth married Eleanor Conover 25 May 1757 Monmouth County, New Jersey. I have 14 children for them.
