GENERAL, AARON HANKINSON. 127
Aaron Hankinson was the son of Joseph and Rachel
(Mattison) Hankinson. He was born Feb. 7, 1735, near
Rowland's Mills, Hunterdon G>unty, N. J., and died
Oct. 9, 1806, near Stillwater, Sussex County, N. J. His
marriage license, dated Feb. 9, 1764, is recorded in the
office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N. J., and gives
him as of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, N. J.,
to Mary Snyder of Kingwood Township, same county.
He was brought up on a farm there, still known as the
"Hankinson Homestead," but in 1764 or 1765 removed
to Sussex County and lies buried in the "Yellow Frame
Cemetery" of the Presbyterian church, near Stillwater, of
which he was long an elder. He lived at or near Still-
water, but also owned land in Sandiston Township.
When he removed from Hunterdon to Sussex, his father
(evidently a man of means) gave him and his brother
William farms there of 363 acres each.
He was in commission as Colonel, commanding Regi-
ment N. J. Troops (a Provisional Regt., probably), at
Amboy, N. J., 1776, and was regularly commissioned
Colonel of 2d Regiment Sussex, N. J., Militia Feb. 28,
1777, and continued as such during the Revolutionary
War. He was present with his regiment as a part of
General David Forman's Brigade, N. J., Detached
Militia, at the battle of Germantown, Pa., Oct. 4, 1777,
under General Washington, but his regiment appears to
have been kept chiefly at home to protect Sussex against
Tories and Indians — Sussex being then a frontier county
in part. After the war, June 5, 1793, he was promoted
Brigadier General of N. J. Militia, and continued as such
until his decease. He was a member of Assembly N. J.,
1782 to 1786, and again 1788 to 1792 continuously, from
Sussex County.
He had thirteen children, as follows :
Joseph, b. 1763, d. 1838; m. Margaret Goble, d. 1844.
Henry,2 j, ^^g 27, 1767; d. May 5, 1848; m Mary Mc-
Cuilough, dau. Col. Wm. McCullough, Asbury, N.
J. Her dau. Eliza B. married Gershom Rusling, my
father.
Sarah, b. 1770, d. Feb. 10, 181 5; m. ist, David Linn; 2d,
John Smedley, June 10, 1806.
John, b. Nov. 25, 1771; d. Aug. 3, 1845; m- Elizabeth
Hunt, b. Feb. 6, 1770; d. Nov. 2, 1841.
Thomas, b. 1775, d. April 27, 1796.
William, b. Oct. 30, 1779; d. Oct. 17, 1830; m. Margaret
Crisman, March 14, 1805. She d. Feb. 26, 1857.
No issue. He acquired much property at Blairstown,
N. J., which he bequeathed to John I. Blair (his
clerk), which was the beginning of the great Blair
estate.
Samuel, b. 1792; d. April 21, 1793.
Elizabeth, b. — ; d. — ; m. Nathan Armstrong, Jan., 1807.
He d. 1838.
*The "Genealogical Record of descendants of Nathan Armstrong"
says 12, but apparently there were 13.
'Admitted to N. J. Bar Nov. Term, 1794 and settled at Washing-
ton, N. J. Was Major and Inspector Sussex Brigade, Oct. 26, 1809;
member of Assembly N. J. 1806-1807-1808 and t83S-
Hannah, b. — ; d. — ; m. Cooper Kelsey, May 14, 1808,
related to Hon. Henry C. Kelsey, probably.
Aaron, b. April 22, 1782; d. Feb. 23, 1850; m. Sarah
Kelsey, April 12, 1804; b. March i, 1785.
Nancy, b. — ; d. — ; m. Aaron Southard.
Rachel, b. — ; d. — ; m. Sidney Herriott.
Daniel Thatcher, b. — ; d. — .
A fruitful vine, clearly; but am unable to complete his
"Family Record," and am not sure of their order of
births, even.
His grave is on the southeasterly side of the old
"Yellow Frame Church," and near to it (our forbears
liked to be buried as near to the church as possible, and
many inside of it!), in the midst of a group of Hankin-
son graves, and bears the following quaint inscription :
"A. H.
In memory of
B. General
Aaron Hankinson,
who departed this life
Oct. IX, 1806.
Aged 71 years, 8 months, 2 days.
Let all his children in a word,
Unite and praise the Eternal God,
For the sweet hope that he has gone
To rest with Christ God's only Son."
Evidently he was a God-fearing man, of soldierly tastes
and character, a typical Jerseyman of his time, a good
citizen, and a man of parts and substance.
The Hankinson family were English unquestionably,
and settled first in Monmouth County, N. J. Two of
them removed to Hunterdon and settled near Rowland's
Mills, 4 miles northeast of Flemington, about 1700 prob-
ably. These were Joseph (father of General Aaron) and
William Hankinson. As early as 1688, Thomas and
Richard Hankinson received a patent for 120 acres of
land in Monmouth County from proprietors of West
Jersey. In 1700 Thomas Hankinson, of Freehold,
bought 610 acres from Benjamin Allen. In 1776 Ken-
neth Hankinson was taxed in Freehold Township for 594
acres of land and 64 horses and cattle. This Kenneth
Hankinson was a man of parts, and June 16, 1776,
became a captain in Col. Forman's battalion, Heard's
Brigade, N. J. Line; also in ist Reg't Monmouth
Militia 1777, and participated in the battle of Monmouth,
June, 1778 (probably). The Hunterdon and Sussex
Hankinsons all claim relationship to this Kenneth Han-
kinson, and Ex-Gov. William A. Newell, of N. J., was a
descendant of his.
If the Hankinsons emigrated from England, they likely
came from Middlesex County there, where they have the
following coat-of-arms : "Ar. a f esse gu. f retty or. betw.
three ducks sa. Crest a demi-phoenix, wings elevated or.
issuant from flames. Motto vi et cmimo." Burke's Gen.
Armory, 452.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 22, 1907.
