Profile of Husband

Abraham was born on March 20th, 1749 in Milford Township, Berkshire County, Pennsylvania and his christening took place on March 26th, 1749 in New Hanover, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Abraham's father was John Justus Henckel and his mother was Maria Magdalena Eschmann. His paternal grandparents were Antonius Jacobus Henckel and Maria Elizabeth Dentzer; his maternal grandparents were Ashman Abraham Eschmann and Elizabeth. He had three brothers and eight sisters, named Jacob, John, Isaac, Anna, Catherine, Rebecca, Mary, Mary, Elizabeth, Susanna and Hannah. He was the fourth youngest of the twelve children. He died at the age of 66 on September 3rd, 1815 in Germany Valley, Pendleton County, Virginia.General
In the old Augusta Co, Virginia Court Order Book 16, dated 19 Aug 1777, Abraham Hinkle, Thomas Miller (his father-in-law), and John Bennett were to view (layout) a road from Hampshire to the "Mouth of Dry Run on the North Fork".
In 1778, upon the death of his father, Abraham assumed command of Hinkle's Fort. He also acquired that part of the land on which the Fort and the Old Hinkle Cemetery are located.
During the American Revolution he maintained the Fort in support of the American cause and also supplied food to the American troops.
An old claim dated 23 September 1782, stated that Abraham furnished --- "one bullock 300 pounds at 2d (pence) per pound". Abraham was a very prosperous farmer and at least 8 old land records show that he owned several farms from 40 to 439 acres in size in the old Rockingham Co, Virginia. He assisted his children and sons-in-law in securing farms of their own through bequest or by direct loans of money. He was constable of Rockingham Co in 1779 and was overseer for the construction of a road from the Augusta Co line to the Hampshire Co line through the North Fork in 1781.
In 1791 he was the executor of the estate of the late David Harman for which he was paid --"one beaver hat".

Name Discrepancy

Many published references state that Abraham Hinkle married Mary Catharine TETER.
In 1980 this was proven to be incorrect, and Catharine's correct maiden name was MILLER. She was the daughter of Thomas Miller and his wife, first name unknown, last name Deeds or Teets. Thomas Miller had 8 children, 6 of whom are mentioned in probate records for the estates of Thomas Miller who's Will was dated 16 Feb 1799, and proved 7 July 1801. These records state that Thomas Miller's wife was the only heir to the estate of Adam Deeds/Teet. Abraham Hinkle is mentioned in these records as an heir to the Miller estate through his wife, Catharine Miller, daughter of Thomas Miller. We have not been able to determine the date of birth or death for Catharine, but assume she was born about 1748.
Possibly, he married 2 Catherines. A Catherine is mentioned in his will."
Marriage Mary Catherine Dieter or Miller b: 1751 in Buckingham Co, PA: Married: 1769 in Germany Valley, Pendleton Co, PA
According to Mary Catherine's grave, she died in 1809. Possibly he married another Catherine (Miller) and she was alive at the time of his death.
