Marjie,

C. William Ridenour has done an obituary locator for the obits in the Washington County Free Library in Hagerstown, MD. [Washington County Maryland Obituary Locator 1790-1943, Willow Bend Books, Westminster, MD 2001. ] Using the locator you can then contact the library for copies or go there in person and with a printer/reader print them off the microfilm. There are about 2 1/2 pages of single spaced entries on Ridenour obits.

There are also some family Bible records lodged in that library. They have been published in Family Bible Records in the Washington County Free Library, Hagerstown, MD, Marsha Lynne Fuller, CGRS, Willow Bend Books Westminster, MD. 2003. There are quite a few Ridenour entries there also.

Also in the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Hagerstown, Washington County 1770, Maryland German Church Records, Vol 13, translated by Frederick S. Weiser, published by the Historical Society of Carroll County, Westminster, MD there are quite a few entries for your surname. In Morrow and Morrow's Will and Estate Document index that are roughly 40 entries.

I'm sure there are probably other Ridenour researchers on this list - it seems to have been a prolific family.

Have you looked for the grave in Somerset, Perry Co. Ohio?

These are reports of two distinctly different men of different ages who died
at different times in different places - one in Maryland and one in Ohio.

The Torchlight
July 31, 1828

"Died 19th inst at his residence in Somerset, Perry Co, Ohio, Jacob
BINCKLEY, Sen., formerly a citizen of Hagerstown. After eating his dinner on
the 18th he was visited by anapolectick stroke, of which he died the
following day, about 61 yrs."

In 1822, George, son of Jacob (formerly of this place) married Francis
Sterling in Canton, Ohio.

The Torchlight, November 29, 1825, contains information about an equity case
regarding the estate of John Miller, who died intestate. Thomas, Louisa,
Ferdinand, George and Jacob Binkley are listed as heirs. The suit was
brought to liquidate land holdings and settle the estate. Some of the
Binkleys lived out of state.


The Torchlight
August 7, 1821

"Died Friday last in this town, at an advanced age, Jacob KINKLE, Sen."

Jacob KINKLE has a will and estate documents in 1821 and another Jacob
(probably Jun.) has the same in 1827. There is a distribution in Morrow &
Morrow's Distribution of Estate Accounts 10/3/1823, Heirs are Jacob, Henry,
Adam and Elizabeth. There are 5 Kinkle obits in Ridenour's Obituary
locator - the latest in 1839.

The only Jacob Binkley listed in the estate index (Morrow & Morrow) is in
1869, far too late.

The earliest BINKLEY in Morrow & Morrow's Will and Estate Index is Catherine
who has a will and estate documents in 1806.
[Her estate distribution indicates 45 heirs - they were not listed in Morrow
& Morrow Distribution of Estate Accounts, Wash Co Md 1778-1835]. There are
18 Binkley obits in Ridenour's Obituary Locator indicating a presence
remained in Washington County. Maryland German Church Records, Vol. 13, St.
John's Evangelical Lutheran in Hagerstown, MD indicates a strong presence of
Binkleys and indicates Catherine and Jacob were sponsors in 1794 to a
baptism as the earliest entry. There are 24 pages listed in the index under
the following surname variations: BINKLEY, BINCKELE, BINCKLE, BINCKLEE,
BINCKLY, BINGLEE, BINKLY.

Graham's History of Fairfield and Perry Counties Ohio 1883. - At the
usgenweb Perry County Ohio website has a lengthy BINKLEY history.

In 1807 - Jacob Binkley's place in Hagerstown is referenced in a newspaper
account. It indicated that a business for a burr maker was located two doors
down from him - he is listed as a blue dyer. Phillip and George Binkley also
show up in Hagerstown during the period of 1806-1810. In 1798 Christian
Binkley was living on Antietam Creek. In 1795 George Binkley was carrying on
the business of blue dyer and stamper in Hagerstown. In 1804 George
dissolved a partnership with Wm. Kreps and also one with David Ridenour. In
1811 Jacob Binkley was still carrying on a blue dying business in
Hagerstown.

KINKLE, Jacob (1745-1828). Took the Oath of Allegiance before the Hon.
Andrew Rentch before March 7, 1778 [Ref: J-15, which listed the name as
"Jacob Kinkley" and O-52, which mistakenly listed the name as Jacob
Pinkley"]. "Jacob Kinkley" died in July, 1828, aged 83, was buried in Old
St. John's Lutheran Churchyard, and subsequently reinterred in Rose Hill
Cemetery in Hagerstown [Ref: JJ-VII:106]. "Jacob Kinkley, Sr." died at an
advanced age on August 3, 1821 in Hagerstown [Ref: Z-55]. (This record might
not pertain to Jacob Binckley of Somerset but if it is wrong then we can
delete or leave showing that it is disputed. bmr)
