These records were compiled for Dorothy Cresswell Lottes, a prospective member of John Sappington Chapter DAR, for the purpose of getting to know her Revolutionary War ancestor, Benjamin Harrison, his son-in-law William Hinkson, and their families.
The next three generations in her lineage are covered in biographical sketches in the Washington County section of Goodspeed's History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties, Mo. (l888): Margaret Hinkson married Noah Martin, Sarah Martin married Thomas Nicholson.
We do not pretend to have all records available on Benjamin Harrison and William Hinkson but we have acquired a sufficient amount of data to prove where they lived, names of their wives, etc.
We thank everyone who was involved in this effort, especially applicant's husband, J. Otto Lottes, M.D., who went from courthouse to courthouse in Missouri searching for Harrison/Hinkson records on Thursday, his day away from the office and hospital.
We trust these chronologies will be of assistance to future researchers and we hope someone will carry the project further and write a book about these interesting men - Capt./Maj./Lt. Col./Col./Brig. Gen. Benjamin Harrison and his son-in-law, Maj./Lt. Col./Sgt./Pri. William Hinkson.

they had come from a distance on no lawful business and went about the
neighborhood in a suspicious manner. Further, when two negro men, Tom and Joe,
property of Benjamin Harrison, Sr., were taken last summer in execution under a
mortgage from Harrison to Waters, there were strong circumstances to induce
