- Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch William Hankins, was the oldest son of Joseph Hankins (ca. 1765?-1836) and his wife Nancy. In 1811, William married Elizabeth McCarty who is probably buried here. Her name has often been given as Lydia, but the marriage record shows Lida (or Lide) a nickname for Elizabeth.
William was a messenger from the Milton Baptist Church to the Coffee Creek Baptist Association in 1831 when his father, shown as an ordained minister, was also a messenger. This church existed from 1829 through 1836.
The Milton Baptist Church reformed in 1840 with William and Elizabeth as founding members. Other founding members included William's brother Aaron and Aaron's wife Sarah; his brother Moses and Moses' wife Rachel, and Nancy Hankins, widow of William's father. Also a member was Jemima Weathers who was possibly a relative of Nancy Hankins, William's mother.
In the 1850 census William (age 61) was in Milton Township, Jefferson, Indiana, United States.[1]
