"Decl. of Elizabeth Binkley, Stokes Co., NC, 18 Mar. 1839 , at her place of residence about twenty miles from the courthouse of Stokes Co. , 75 years old , She is the widow of Frederick Binkley, who was placed on the pension roll on 31 Jan. 1833 at $40 per year, his age was then about 76 years. [refers to Frederick's tours of duty]
Elizabeth also declares that the paper leaf writing containing the family record of her children is a true statement of their ages or births as set down in her handwriting which is now cut out of a German testament. The births stand thus:
1) oldest born child Susana was born 24 May 1787. 2) John b. 18 Mar. 1789 3) Jacob b. 8 Aug. 1792 4) George b. 5 Jan. 1795 5) Sarah b. 28 Oct. 1797 6) Nicholas, the last child, b. 7 Jan. 1804"
Bottom line: I don't think Hepsey Brinkley is their child.
