My parents, deceased, are William Neely Rinker and Sarah Belle Noll. William is the son of Silas Edwin (also Edward) Rinker and Carrie Neely. Shilas Edwin is the son of Silas E. Rinker and Mellisa Jane HIATT. The charts take it from there. I have traced the Cracraft line back to England - and, I have the HIATT's back to 1600's and to England. This needs checking. I have nothing on the female links in the HIATT line, e.e., Lucinda Harper, Mary Worley, Hannah Reece, Rachel Wilson, or Mary F. Smith. For more Rinker details you should look at the Morgan County Historical Society and Genealogy Association, Inc. (http://www.rootsweb.com/~inmachaga/mchagai.html). etc.,referign to: Descendants of George Rinker - 14 pages of details. I gatehr the Hiatts were also heavily involved in Morgon Co., IN.

In Reply to: Re: Lucinda Harper marr Joseph Hiatt, by L. Wane GrissomTried to send to home email and it kicked back. Have Lucinda marrying into the Rinkers, Joseph Hiatt's will, dated 1849, death about 1851, since 3 year old son Oliver Hiatt "Rinker" was mentioned in lawsuit of Lucinda and Eli Rinker. Check also Quaker Gen. as Joseph was Quaker. Have to recheck my notes to see MM. I assume Linda was also Quaker. See Hinshaw's notes, if you can access them (Wade Hinshaw - Quaker Ge.) Send me directly with Email. Joseph died in Morgan Co., IN, whre all the exciting stuff takes place with the Rinkers.

Sent by Marilyn Baxter Martin, there seems to have been a typing error in the birth date of Susan, as it was written 3 Mar 1884, but marriage date of 1864, so I corrected the date to be 1844 instead of 1884. (Larry Anderson)
