There is info on the Tinker family back to the first English comeoverer in the book:
<b>A Portrait and Biographical Record of Portage and Summit Counties, Ohio
</b>A.W. Bowen & Company, 1898 - Governors - 988 pages
PIONEER WOMEN OF KINGSVILLE, 1803-1850
<b>Memorial to the Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve, Volume 1 1896
</b>Lois Wade and husband, Silas Tinker, moved here in 1809. They had traveled in a flatboat from Buffalo with the Nettletons the first year of the century, and after residing a few years elsewhere, the two families met here, to live side by sid e as neighbors.
Mrs. Silas Tinker, Jr., [Elizabeth Randall] was a woman of much force and energy of character.
PIONEER WOMEN OF KINGSVILLE [Additional]
Amos Harmon of Marlborough, Mass., arrived in the town in 1816. He remained until late in the fall, then returned for his family, consisting of his parents, his wife [Lydia Shaw] and their two children. They traveled all the way in a wagon, slee ping in and under it at night, and were four weeks on the road.
Their home, a log cabin, was burned to the ground in the spring of 1818 and very little of its contents escaped the flames. The neighbors all turned out to assist in the building of another house but no one had much to spare in the way of furnit ure. However, each contributed their mite. One a few dishes, another a chair, etc. The first meal in the new house had been eaten when it occurred to Mrs. Harmon that she had not even a dish cloth with which to wash the dishes, let alone anythin g to dry them with. Again the neighbors came to her relief.
Henry and Mary, the oldest children, were born in Massachusetts. The Kingsville ones were Hiram, Dorcas, Emily [Mrs. J. W. Rockwell], Harriet <b>[Mrs. Sylvester Tinker]</b>, and Mrs. Elnathan Harmon, now living in Lenox, Ohio. The three younge r children are the only survivors of this family.
Mrs. Harmon was mortally afraid of the Indians until she found that as soon as she fed them they would become very good natured. Mrs. Rockwell, her daughter now living in Jefferson, says, "We children all had to work very young in order to hel p our parents in their struggles to raise us properly."
In 1836 Mr. Harmon sold his property in town and removed to Lenox, in the same county. His wife died in 1867, preceding him to the Better Land five years.
