| Notes for Joseph HINKLE | ||||||||||
| Joseph Hinkle very probably served in the Revolutionary War and it claimed he was one of the sons of Anthon Hinkle, III, who is said to have removed his family to Ohio at the close of the war. Offical roster of the Revolution buried in Ohio (1929, p. 187) include "Joseph Hinkle, private, Captain Conrad, Karner's Company, Lieutentant Adam Fischer's Regiment, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Militia. Born Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, died in Ohio." Note, He was born at Germantown but resided in Lancaster County at the time of enlistment on June 8, 1782 as "Private 5th Class." Covalt Station - This was in the valley of the Little Miami River about ten miles above Columbia near the present village of Terrace Park, Ohio. It was established by Captain Abraham Covalt of New Jersey and a Revolutionary rebel. He left Pennsylvania, his residence, on January 1, 1789 with a party of forty-five. The women and children slept in a tent all that bitterly cold, sleety, and snowy winter. As quickly as possible the men built a fort whicvh was called 'Covalt's Station.' The first mill in Hamilton county waas built close by on Mill Creek. Young Abraham Covalt of the Captain's family was killed by the Indians in 1789 some miles above Covalt's Station. Abel Cook (probably brother of Lydia Cook Hinkle) was killed at Round Bottom after Harmon's defeat in Seveteen Ninety-one. Many of this party were with these at the battle when so many of their number were killed, the rest left Covalt's Station and went to Gerard's. They landed January 19 and built a strong fort, seventeen cabins and a mill. March 17, 1793 while getting timber for his own house, Captain Covalt with his two sons and Joseph Hinkle were attacked by Indians. Hinkle was killed by tomahawks and then scalped. Captain Covalt was shot twice, urged his sons to run to the fort saying he was wounded. He ran one hundred yards holding his axe, then fell dead and was scalped. | ||||||||||
