1800 but signed on the 17th of April 1800, refers to an indenture (lease) dated
4 May 1796 for a tract of land to be leased for 99 years. It appears, since the next document that

49. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan,
"Electronic," Hi Rod--You may recall that some time ago I asked you
if you had information concerning Sullivan Tinker and how he fits in the Tinker
genealogy. You indicated that you
really didn't have the information that I was seeking.After re-examining all of
the data that I have available, I have come to the conclusion that Sullivan
Tinker was probably the son of William Tinker and Rebecca Parker. My conclusion is based on the following
factors: 1. The 1851 Campobello census includes only three Tinker
families: David (age 42) & Sophia
(age 33) Tinker (family #107), Sullivan (age 25) & Caroline (age 25) Tinker
(family #108), and William (age 57) & Rebecca (age 53) Tinker (family
#109). According to your data,
"Descendants of Capt. William Tinker", David Tinker and William
Tinker were the sons of Capt. William Tinker.
In view of their ages (42 and 57, respectively), it is quite unlikely
that Sullivan Tinker (25) was the son of Capt. William Tinker. It is more likely that Sullivan was the son
of either David & Sophia Tinker or William & Rebecca Tinker. 2.
Because of his age in the 1851 census Sullivan (25) could not be the son
of David (age 42) and Sophia (age 33).
It is quite probable, however, that he was the second son of William
(age 57) and Rebecca (53). Sullivan's
age (25) fell between the ages of William & Rebecca's sons William (age 27)
and George (age 22). 3. When I visited the "Old" Wilson's
Beach Cemetery last fall I made a lot of notes and took a number of photographs
of Tinker and Brown gravestones. The
grave of Sullivan Tinker "who died 4th Feb. 1853 aged 27 years" is
located next to the grave of "Charlotte W., wife of George R. Tinker
1822-1913". If my conclusion is
correct, Sullivan Tinker was the brother-in-law of Charlotte Tinker, and that is why they are both buried in the
"Tinker family" cemetery plot..
50. Notes of Rod Fleck, e-mail sent to John Skehan - 6 Jan 2003,
Sullivan could not be the son of David and his first wife Frances Patterson,
since Sullivan is born in 1826 and David and Frances marry in about 1832. Nor, can Sullivan be a child of David and Sophia's
union - since they marry after 1847.
So, here are the possibilities:1.
Sullivan is an illegitimate son of a very young David Tinker (age 17-18)
-- possible, but not too likely I would presume;2. Sullivan is the son of William and Rebecca - age works and the
timing pattern noted above works as well;3.
Sullivan could be the son of either the George Tinker noted in the 1823
tax rolls - making him part of a new line (not a possibility that lacks merit,
just no evidence - circumstantial or otherwise) - see the two reformated tax
rolls -- I suspect the George Tucker on the other one is in fact the same
George Tinker in the 1823 roll or in the alternative it could be right in that
there is a Gilbert Tucker noted in the 1811 militia roll. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcampob/camp9d.htm [Note to Heather - maybe that 1841 roll is
correct after all?).4. Sullivan could
be a son, at a rather late age mind you, of David Tinker, age 48 noted within
the 1811 militia rolls - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcampob/camp9d.htm (not a
possibility that lacks merit, just no evidence - circumstantial or otherwise)..
51. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan,
"Electronic," [This is a continuation of the message for the birth
and linkage to William and Rebecca].3.
When I visited the "Old" Wilson's Beach Cemetery last fall I

was the brother-in-law of Charlotte Tinker,
and that is why they are both buried in the "Tinker family"
cemetery plot.On the basis of these three points, I feel quite certain that
Sullivan Tinker was the son of William and Rebecca Tinker and the nephew of
David and Sophia Tinker. Incidentally,
the 1851 Campobello census includes a notation that Sullivan was "sick". As noted in #3 (above), he died two years later
(1853).I would be interested in any comments concerning my conclusion!John.

Among the "Record of Marriage Intentions" I found the
following: "May 19, 1856, George Tinker of Campobello, N.B. and Charlotte
Mahar of Pembroke"I haven't yet found a record of the date or place of

of the Admiral's retinue married and settled on the Island. Alice Cameron married Hibbard Batson, son of
John and Sarah Batson. Mary Reilly
married Ed Mahar, a descendant of the first Edmund Mahar and their daughter
married George Tinker.
61. e-mail of John Skehan, 15 Feb 2002, This would seem to indicate
that Charlotte Mahar was probably born
in Pembroke, not Cherryfield. As I told
you some time ago, my grandmother's
death certificate states that her mother,
Charlotte Mahar, was born in Pembroke, and this seems to confirm that..

John W. Skehan [Skehan@MAIL.MAINE.EDU]Hi Barb--In response to your question
regarding Seward Bucknam Tinker's age discrepancy, I went back over my notes to
make sure that I had passed along the correct info to you.I'm "virtually
certain" regarding his birth and death dates, and my notes say his age was
11 months. However, his true age at the
time of his death was 1 year, 11 months.
I'm not sure whether I inadvertently left off the 1 year when I made my
notes in Augusta, or whether the Eastport Sentinel article did not mention his
age and I made a mistake in calculating his age. In either case, his true age at the time of his death was 1 year,
11 months. The next time I am in
Augusta, I'll "double check"
the "Vital Records from the Eastport Sentinel" to determine how I
"goofed". Incidentally, they
had a serious water problem in the Augusta Archives, and the search room has
been closed for about 3 or 4 weeks. It
is scheduled to reopen May 15th (if everything goes according to plan).JohnWed,
18 April 2001.
97. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan,
"Electronic," John W. Skehan [Skehan@MAIL.MAINE.EDU], Hi
Barbara--After I sent my earlier note concerning the birthdate of Howard Welton
Tinker, I read through the communications that had gone back and forth between
you and Rod Fleck. After doing so, I
realized that I might have some of the other information about which you had
expressed an interest. I checked the
information that you had about the Alexander Tinker family against the
information that I obtained from the "Early Eastport Records"
microfilm in the Maine Archives in Augusta, and all of your birth, marriage,
and death information corresponds to the information on that microfilm, with
the following exceptions: 1. Glendy Alexander Tinker's date of birth on
the Augusta microfilm is listed as 13 November 1875, not 13 November 1874. This makes sense, because his sister, Susan
Nettie Tinker, was born 15 February 1874, and it is quite unlikely that these
two children would be born only 9 months apart. 2. Page 186 of the publication, "Vital
Records from the Eastport Sentinel of Eastport Maine, 1818-1900" states
that "Seward (Seward Bucknam Tinker) , son of Alex Tinker, died in
Wilson's Beach 24 December 1861, age 11 months". (The death was originally reported in Vol. 44, #1 of the Eastport
Sentinel dated 1 January 1861.I hope this information may be of use to you, if
you don't already have it.Regards,John SkehanWednesday, 4/18/01.
98. e-mail from johnskehan,
Barbara--last Friday I had a meeting in Augusta, and I had an opportunity to
spend an hour in the Maine Archives and the State Library. This is the first time that I have been in
the archives since the "flooding" that occurred last winter and
spring.One of my main tasks was to double check the publication, "Vital
Records from the Eastport Sentinel of
Eastport, Maine 1818-1900" to see if I had made a mistake in
recording what it said concerning Seward Tinker's age at the time of his
death. The report of his death in this
publication listed his age as "11 months", as I had informed you in
my e-mail of 18 April 2001. So, it
appears that his reported age at the time of his death was incorrect and should
have listed his age as 1 year 11 months (assuming his birth date is correct).Regards,John
Skehan.

In Reply to: tinkers of campobello island by: Rod Fleck According to the 1880
census records for Eastport, ME...Alexander Tinker & Ellen Bucknam's son
Seward B Tinker (age 21) was listed in their household - occupation listed as
"traveling clerk" - therefore he could not have died in 1861 as
mentioned in your article unless their were two (2) children with the same
name.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Author:
Rod Fleck Date: 25 Jan 2003 6:57 PM GMT In Reply to: Re: Tinkers of Campobello Island
by: G Christian Larsen I went back and looked at the sources and
materials. I think my hypothesis about
a wrong entry is the right one - but that about twins is in error. In a set of records from Eastport Maine -
there is a listing of Alexander's family and their son, Howard Spurgeon Tinker
is noted as having died in Dec 1861 in Campobello. I suspect that the other source may have recorded the wrong
child. The Eastport record - one that
shows births and deaths for the Alexander Tinker family and was on a microfilm
at the Maine Archive - shows entries up through 1879. So, if I can get a copy of the 1880 census - I will make a
correction on this record. .

Barbara--Today while looking through my folder of Tinker e-mail I noticed the
query that you sent to Rod fleck on 10/20/2000 concerning the correct birthdate
for Howard Welton Tinker. Rod's reply
of 12/10/2000 indicated that he couldn't verify either of the two dates in
question.The Maine State Archives in Augusta has a microfilm of "Early
Eastport Records" (births, deaths and marriages prior to the state
collecting said information starting in 1892).
Howard Welton Tinker's birth certificate on that microfilm states that
he was born 12 September 1868, not 12 September 1862. I hope this
"verification source" may be of assistance to you. I"m sorry that I didn't forward this
information to you sooner.Regards,John Skehan.
