Notes:

George W. Binkley, a prominent citizen and native of Cheatham County, Tenn., was born April 3, 1833, and is a son of Henry and Polly (Bennett) Binkley, both natives of Tennessee. The father was born in 1784, and the mother about the same time. They died in 1860 and 1843, respectively. Our subject was united in marriage to Miss Nancy Moses, who was born in Tennessee in 1836. Her father, Henry Moses, was born in Georgia in 1792, and came to Tennessee when about twenty years of age. Here he married the mother, Eberline Carney, who was born in 1812. Her father died in 1878. Mr. and Mrs. Binkley became the parents of these children: Sarah (deceased), Eliza A., Eberline, John R., Nancy M., James, William T. and Emma. Mr. Binkley was reared on a farm, and followed farming for a livelihood until 1862, when he enlisted in Company G, First Tennessee Regiment, and was stationed at Nashville for nineteen months. His health was very poor at this time and he was compelled to return home. Since that time he has been sell- ing timber, and also farms at different times. In 1834 he moved on the farm where he now resides. He belongs to the Republican party.

George married Nancy MOSES on 25 Apr 1855 in Davidson, Tennessee. Nancy (daughter of Henry (Henley) MOSES and Eberline CARNEY) was born in Feb 1836 in Davidson, Tennessee; died about 1903 in Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Adam had two sons named John Jacob, one born 23 Jan. 1766, in Monocacy, Frederick Co., MD, and one born 1 August 1772 in Monocacy. Presumably the first one died. In accordance with German naming customs, John Jacob Binkley would have been called Jacob.

It is not known just when or where the first settlement was made in
the territory now composing the county of Cheatham. The earliest ac-
count is that of Adam Binkley, who settled with his wife and sons, Ja-
cob, Peter, Joseph, Frederick, Henry and Adam, Jr., on Sycamore Creek,
near the present village of Sycamore Mills in the year 1780; but this is
probably a mistake as to date. The first settlements were made along
the streams where many sparkling springs were found.

Sycamore Mills is located in the picturesque valley of Sycamore
Creek, at the terminus of the Hyde's Ferry Turnpike, and about four
miles north of Ashland City, and is the site of the famous sycamore
Powder-mills. The scenery round about it is "romantic and wild," and
beautiful beyond description. The bluffs on either side of the valley
rise to an elevation of about 200 feet. The best view, perhaps, is ob-
tained from the site of the old Millwood Institute, where one may stand
and view the hills of equal altitude beyond the village, and observe that
the tallest sycamore trees in the valley will not reach half way up to the
line of vision. The waterpower at this place is considered the best
within sixty miles of Nashville. Its available power for all seasons of
the year is equal to 250 horse-power. A pointed bluff extends into the
valley from the south, and gradually descends and narrows down to a
width of about thirty feet, at which point it is only a few feet above the
creek, and then it rises and widens gradually, forming a long ridge, and
comes to a point about 100 rods farther out in the valley. The foot of
this bluff and ridge is washed by the creek, which travels a distance of
two miles in a horse-shoe bend and returns to a point within 600 feet
from the narrow place in the ridge above described. At this place the
creek is dammed, and the water conducted through a race-cut across the...

Notes:

A grave marker (round stone) for Polly Carney was seen by Leonard Lawson Carney for many years in Dry Fork Road cemetery on the hill by Denton's Chapel Methodist Church, Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Polly was a sister of Elizabeth C. Goldsberry, wife of Elijah Carney, suspected brother of Vincent Carney. References: 1820, 1830 and 1840 Census - Davidson County, Tennessee Will of Vincent Carney Marriage Record Giles County, Tennessee Chancery Court Records "Polly" is buried in Vincent Carney Cemetery on Dry Fork Road, on hill above Denton's Chapel Methodist Church, Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. When Leonard Lawson Carney was a boy and a young man, he saw a carved round stone in the cemetery near the edge of the road with the name "Polly Carney" and dates on it. In 1981, that stone was no longer there or at least it was not visible when Leonard and Glenda walked a ways in the cemetery.
