Notes for Christopher Hinkle: Christopher " Christy " Hinkle a pioneer of Pultney Township, Belmont County, Ohio was born in Pennsylvania, April 15, 1777. He married Sarah Keyser, daughter of Andrew and Mary Palmer Keyser in Pennsylvania in 1798. Sarah was born in Pennsylvania January 24, 1780.
The birth of their first child Mary, in Jefferson County in 1799 ( before the formation of Belmont County ) I believe establishes their early pioneer presence in Belmont County. There are no early records of this Hinkle Family in Jefferson County so it is believed Mary was born on the homestead which, when Belmont County was formed from Jefferson County, fell within the boundary of Belmont County. The Hinkle homestead of 54 acres stayed in the family until the Great Depression When it was sold. The ruins of the Homestead still exist and the wonderful spring still run clear and strong.
