Notes:

Parentage of Anna Carpenter NOT PROVEN... I have listed an undocumented parentage to Daniel and Leah, but feel this is NOT likely line.

From Robert Carney:
Lois Barnes Binkley, in The Deserted Sycamore Village of Cheatham County, maintains that Henry Binkley fathered nine children by Anny Binkley. She identifies two of them as Blackstone F. and Tazwell M., but no records of the names of the other seven is known to have been found. Mrs. Barnes indicates that another son was born in 1810, and another between 1815 and 1820; a daughter was born after 1810; another daughter was born between 1810 and 1815; another daughter was born between 1815 and 1820; and another daughter was born between 1820 and 1824; then there was another son born around 1825.
It is accepted by some that the son born in 1810 was named Elijah (Eli), and that the daughter born between 1810-1815 was Sina Paralee

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...
