Does anyone know if Phillip Parks Tinker from Unico County Tennesse is any relation to the Famous Osage Indian Cheif Sylvester Tinker? Phillip if my husbands Great,Great Grandfather and my husband definitley looks indian and his father told him they were however I have researched back and cannot find where they link if they would. Hoping someone here that has done more extensive research can tell me if there is a link or not.

My father is Herman Tinker and he is related to Philip Parks Tinker. I have also heard of Sylvester Tinker, he use to have family reunions in OK. I will try to find as much as possible and let you know. If you learn anything, plese let me know.

Thanks for your help, Carol
