This work is actually that of a few of us (John Skeehan, David Teed, Heather and myself) working on the Tinker lines of Campobello Island. Who this David Tinker relates to is a bit of a mystery still, however, I am starting to suspect that he is the youngest child of David Tinker, brother of William Tinker, who in 1808 files a land petition and notes in that that he is the father of five children all born on Campobello Island. If that is the case, then these children are also descendant’s of a “daughter of a member of the 74^th Highlanders” who had settled on the Island. I suspect that individual below could be the first son of that David Tinker – however that has not been proven as of yet.

Also, where things are speculative, that has been noted. I do not change the sources – so if something was later proven to be different, you will see that as a subsequent source for that event. I do this in order to ensure that others don’t have to trace down the same trail only to “discover” that which I have done – as well as allowing those that do find new information to help me understand how it all fits in! Ah, but to find a detailed bible for this family somewhere…it’s out there I know.

If there is something wrong in the materials below, please do not hesitate to contact me at rodfleck@olypen.com

Some of the older residents here informed me that it was a fairly large area in it's time, however it has been neglected and almost forgotten over time. It's very grown up and difficult to access.

26. Extract provided by Chris Larsen of Beaver Harbour, NB, 1880 Census - Eastport, Maine, (NA Film No. T9-0490/Pg 212.B), (ED: 177/Pg. 26), Attached hereto is a copy of the 1880 census records for Eastport, ME (ED: 177/Pg. 26) that show a David Tinker (age 13) & a Florence Tinker (age 6) in the household of their grandmother Mary Searles.

27. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan, "Electronic," Hi Rod,Just a quick note to let you know that I don't believe that Florence Tinker was the daughter of David Tinker and Sarah Searles for the following reasons: 1. According to your data, David died before 1871, but Florence wasn't born until 1874. 2. David probably died before 1871 because his wife, Sarah, and her children were living with her father and mother (Nathan and Mary Searles) according to the 1871 Campobello census.It would appear that Florence, the grandaughter of Mary Searles, must have been the child of some other Tinker rather than David Tinker?John.

Tinker died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Tinker, on Monday morning, at the age of 24 years. "Jack" - as he was familiarly known, entered the employ of the Courier after leaving school and learned the printer's trade. Failing health caused him to give it up and he moved to Freeport in the hope that the outdoor life there would benefit him. He improved rapidly and this spring entered the employ of the Middleton Outlook as foreman. In June he came home to make arrangements for the removal of his family, but the heavy work of handling furniture and packing up, brought on a hemmorage on the 1st of July. In the few days following he weakened very fast and since then has rapidly failed. He leaves to mourn, besides his parents, a widow and a five-year-old son, two sisters, Mrs. Roland Newman, of Wilson's Beach, and Miss. Lottie at home, and one brother also at home.

124. AGREEMENT ON SPELLING OF NAME, Per the e-mail exchange between John Skehan and myself - we have come to the conclusion that we will use this spelling of the name. Here is the justification from John.2. Back to the Adelaide/Adeline Estella Mitchell question. Theplot thickens even more as a result of the information that you sentto me concerning the birth of Erma Annie Tinker. You indicatedthat the registration of Erma's birth listed her mother as "Adelaine"Estella Mitchell. That name seems to be a combination ofAdelaide and Adeline, although it could be merely a typo error oftyping an "n" for a "d",. I don't have data that indicates the name of Adelaide/Adeline'sparents, but I looked through the 1871 Campobello census (shewas supposedly born in 1869) to see if I could find her family. Family # 96 of the 1871 census lists the following: Thaddeus Mitchell 25 Amelia 27 Adalade 3 (Yet another spelling!). I suspect that this Adalade is Adelaide/Adeline EstellaMitchell, what do you think? If so, although misspelled this seemsto agree with her gravestone that her name was Adelaide. By theway, when I visited the "Old" Wilson's Beach Cemetery a year orso ago, I visited the Grave of Geroge and Adelaide. My notesindicate that the gravestone says "George Tinker 1865-1947" and"Adelaide (wife) 1868-1932". So, on the basis of all of thisinformation, I'm satisfied that her name was Adelaide, and that iswhat I am going to enter into my file. (I'll probably still make a notethat some records indicate that her name was Adeline)..

184. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan, "Electronic," Hi Rod,This afternoon while working in the Maine Archives in Augusta, I came across the existence of another child of Nelson Tinker and Elizabeth Finch. The following information was taken from his death record in the archives: Vanif?? Nelson Tinker (his first name was almost unreadable), born July 18, 1911 (don't know where), died June 2, 1935 in Calais, Maine, although he previously lived in Pembroke, Maine. At the time of his death his age was 23 years, 10 months, and 14 days. His occupation was listed as "general labor". His father was listed as Nelson Tinker, born Wilson's Beach, occupation fisherman. His mother was listed as Elizabeth Finch, born Eastport, Maine, occupation "at home". The name of the death informant was Augusta Ritchie (his sister).

185. John W. Skehan [Skehan@maine.edu], e-mail from john skehan, "Electronic," Hi Rod, I believe, as you suggested, that Marianne, Aurelia and Aurora Tinker are all the same person for the following reasons:The ages fit perfectly. In the 1881 census she was 7, in the 1891 she was 17, and in the 1901 census she was 27. As I indicated earlier, Aurelia married Blan Fletcher in 1895. The 1901 census (Part 5, family #85) lists Blan Fletcher 30, born 10/27/1871 and his wife Annie A. 27, born 8/10/1874. It may be that her full and middle name name was Ann Aurelia or Aurelia Ann, but the age and birth date correlate with Aurelia.It appears that Miss Tinker has been listed by a number of names in the Campobello census records, and that has created the confusion. It goes to show you that census records can be misleading. I'm satisfied that William Tinker and Adeline Ludlow had only eight children and that Aurelia was their 7th child.Regards, John.
