Per Sara Binkley Tarpley

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 this Jacob Binkley, b. 1772, who was the father of James Binkley of Davidson Co., TN. To the best of my knowledge, his wife is unknown. Their children were James, b. 1797, m. Lucinda Smith; Henry, b. abt. 1800, m. Mary ?; William, b. abt. 1804, m. Elizabeth Smith; Lavina, b. abt. 1811, m. Caleb Keeler; George C. Binkley, b. abt. 1812, never married; David S. Binkley, b. abt. 1813, m. (1) Huldy Durard and (2) Priscilla Nabours; Jacob J. Binkley, b. abt. 1814, married Sarah Lee; and Mollie, date of birth unknown, m. Lemuel Morris.

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...

Johann married Maria "Mollie" Magdelena WELLER on 31 Dec 1764 in Monocacy, Frederick County, Maryland. Maria (daughter of Johann Jacob WELLER and Maria Barbara WILHIDE, Vierruhr) was born on 6 Sep 1749 in York, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America; died on 24 Jul 1826 in Davidson County, Tennessee; was buried on 24 Jul 1826 in Davidson, Tennessee.
