Our ancestor, Andrew
Jackson Tinker/Tanker was born about 1833. Different records list his place of birth as NY, NJ, & MD. He grew up in Coshocton and
Putnam Counties in
Ohio, with Doctor George
Parke and wife, Maria. We don't know Maria's maiden name and aren't sure if she's Andrew's mother. After the Doctor's death in 1864, Maria married George
Miller of
Ottawa, OH. In 1865, Andrew married Elizabeth
Wyant and went by the name Andrew
Jackson Parks. Does anyone have an Andrew
Jackson Tinker in their family tree? My husband took a DNA test, and did not match the Parke/Parks family line, but he did match a
Tinker! We'd love to know where we fit in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
