Binkley Family


First Generation

Peter Binckele was born in 1704 in Guggisberg, Canton Bern, Switzerland, son of Christen Binckele or Binggeli and Elsbeth Berg/Burri. In his Moravian memoir he said that his father died when he was about 9, and when he was 13 his mother moved into Alsace. He was living with his brother in the Steinthal district of Germany when he met and married Anna Maria Werle (1704-1748). They came to America in 1736 on the Princess Augusta. They lived at Warwick (Lititz) and then near York, PA, where Anna Maria died in 1748. Peter married Anna Margaretha Geiger (1722-1803), widow of Johannes Schemel, in 1749, moved with her to Monocacy Maryland in 1763, and finally settled near Bethania NC in 1772. He died there in 1793, survived by 11 of his total of 23 children from the two marriages.

Third Generation

Children of Johannes Binckele and Johanna Jacobina Lyd/Leedy
*Peter Binkley (c1764-1811) probably m. 1) Anna Christina Geiger (1769-bef. 1799), d/o Johann Adam Geiger and Maria Margaretha Fidler; 2) Catharina Helsabeck (1766-?)
Jacob Binkley (1766-1846) m. 1) Sarah Frey (1773-1833); reportedly married again in Robertson Co. TN after her death - who was the second wife?
Elizabeth Binkley (c1768-aft. 1850) m. Joseph Childress (ca. 1765-ca. 1800)
John Binkley (c1772-?) m. Elizabeth Wright
Joseph Binkley (c1773-1815). Did he marry Susanna Fessler?

*This entry was changed on June 9, 2001, based on new information received from Sara Tarpley. We now think that this is NOT the Peter Binkley who married Salley King, and that the latter Peter was the son of Johann Adam Binkley and Magdalena Weller.

**Marriage bond Stokes Co. NC for Daniel Binkley and Chaty Woolf, 1797. Previously we had her listed as Catharine Moser. We can't find good documentation for this. If the Moser family claims her, then was she previously married to someone named Woolf or Wolff?
__________

Children of Johann Adam Binkley and Maria Magdalena Weller
Jacob Binkley (1766-?) probably died before 1772, as there is a later son Jacob also
John Binkley (ca. 1768-?) m. Anna Schor/Shore, d/o Frederick Shore and Barbara Ries

Some errors were corrected in this family 10/21/07, thanks to Sara Binkley Tarpley.

----------

Children of Johann Peter Binckele and Susanna Margaretha Dull
Margaretha Binckele (1780-?) m. Adam Hauser (1775-bef. 1860)
Johann Peter Binckele (1782-1846) m. Susannah H. Stoltz (1784-1850); was she d/o Henry and Elizabeth Stolz?
Elizabeth Binckele (1785-?) may have died in infancy
Christiana (or Christina?) Binckele (1786-1843) m. Capt. Johann Lorenz Hauser (1782-1833)
Johannes (John) Binckele (1793-ca. 1843) m. Sarah Mock (1795-1871)

----------

Children of Friedrich Binckele and Elizabeth Dull
Susanna Binkley (1787-?)
Johannes Binkley (1789-bef. 1860) probably the John Binkley who married Elizabeth Hudson (ca. 1790-aft. 1870)
*Jacob Binkley (1792-?) m. Elizabeth ? (1793-?)
George Binkley (1795-?)
Sarah Binkley (1797-?)
Nicholas Binkley (1804-1864) m. Juliet N. (1820-1904) (possibly his second wife)

*Previously we listed (Jeremiah) Jacob Binckele (1792-?) m. Martha Elizabeth Pryor (1793-?). The marriage of Jeremiah J. BRINKLEY to Martha PRYOR took place in Halifax Co. NC in 1832. Jacob BINKLEY and wife Elizabeth appear in census records in Forsyth Co. NC in 1850 and 1860. We now think that Jeremiah and Martha Brinkley are probably unrelated.

----------

Children of Jacob Binckele and Maria Barbara Demuth
Maria Margaretha Binkley (1791-?) may have died young
Johannes Binkley (1792-?)
Anna Elizabeth Binkley (1793-?) Catherine Binkley (1788-1879) m. Thomas Jefferson Menees (d. 1859)
David Binkley (1801-1869) m. Rebecca Adams (1801-1868), moved to Grayson Co. TX

Information on Catherine and David added 10/21/07, thanks to Sara Binkley Tarpley. Although solid proof is lacking that Catherine is the daughter of Jacob and Maria Barbara, several lines of circumstantial evidence support this conclusion.

----------

Children of Johann Peter Binckele & Susannah H. Stultz

John Binkley (ca. 1836-?)
Keziah Binkley (ca. 1839-?)

This family was added on November 25, 2003.

----------

Children of Jacob Binckele and Elizabeth
*William Binkley (1811-1909) m. Mary Miller (1810-1881)
*John James Binkley/Brinkley (1815-?) m. Mary (Polly) Yokley (1816-?)

*Were other children born in the long gap between 1815 and 1825?? Or do William and John James Binkley not really belong with this family? James (not John James) and wife Polly appear in the 1850, 1870 and 1880 census records as BRINKLEY, in 1860 as BINKLEY. We are assuming here that this is the John James attributed to Jacob and Elizabeth, but this remains to be documented. We have added their children to the families listed in the next generation in hopes that someone will be able to give us more information on them.

----------

Children of William Binkley and Mary Miller
Sarah Binkley (ca. 1834-?)
Jacob Wesley Binkley (1835-1913) m. Margaret Eliza Lowder (1849-1934)

----------

Children of James Binkley/Brinkley and Mary Yokley
Lewis William Brinkley (ca. 1835-?). Did he marry Nancy Sheets in 1861?

This family was added to the web page on November 25, 2003. As indicated above, we have some doubts about whether they really belong with the Binkleys since three of four censuses between 1850 and 1880 spell the name Brinkley rather than Binkley.
