From Robert Carney:
It is accepted by some that the son (of Henry and Anny) born in 1810 was named Elijah (Eli), and that the daughter born between 1810-1815 was Sina Paralee; rationale:
1. Their ages match the ages in the 1840 census.
2. Joshua Carney bought land from Eli Binkley on Big Marrowbone Creek in 1842 - this was only a short distance from Sycamore Village where the Adam Binkley family had settled.
3. It was a German custom to name the oldest son after the mother's father - Sina's two oldest sons, twins born in 1835, were named Henry and Elijah.
4. On the 1840 census, Eli Binkley is a neighbor to all the Marrowbone Carneys.
The son born between 1815 and 1820 has been identified by some as Hiram Henry Binkley who was born about 1815, married Nancy Morris 16 April 1836, and died 4 June 1860.
It is suspected that the daughter born in 1810 was Mary Binkley who was born 1 April 1810 and married to Moses Dean in Davidson County, TN on 27 October 1827; she named her second son Henry, probably after her father.

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

Notes:

This location would have to be just down the road from the Mitchell, Joslin, and Rooker families. Jesse is listed next door to his brother Albert and just down the road from Alsey. Also listed on the same page is Shaderick Bell and James Robertson. Robert Duke and Burwell Jackson are shown living in the same neighborhood. Sources say that Jesse and Sarah had some eight children.

In the 1840 Dickson County Census Jesse M. Speight is listed as head of a household consisting of 1 male 30 to 40, 2 females under 5, 2 females 5 to 10, and 1 female 15 to 20. His first wife, unk Harris died in 1840.
In the Dickson County Census of 1850, Jesse M. Speight, 45, farmer, and his second wife Sarah, 40, are listed as having nine children, viz.: Julia - 19, Evaline - 18, Almyra - 15, Guilford - 14, Matilda - 12, Jesse - 8, Edithy - 6, Nancy - 4, and Elizabeth - 2.

In the 1850 Slave Schedule, Jesse M. Speight is listed right under Moses Parker, with Jesse owing 6 Slaves, 4 adults, 2 children.

Jesse M. Speight's obituary was printed in the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate, Thursday, July 22, 1853, and reads as follows:
Died, at his residence in Dickson county, Tenn, May 19, 1852, Mr. Jesse M. Speight, in the 47th year of his age.
Brother Speight was for fifteen years an acceptable member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which he has left to join the church triumphant on high.
Methodist preachers, as well as those of his own communion, received at his house a hearty welcome and were kindly and hospitably entertained and cared for.
His last illness was short, though severe; but he bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation, and met the last enemy with the courage of the true soldier, saying to weeping friends in his last hours, that he was not afraid to die, and that he was ready for the change of worlds.
He has left behind a bereaved widow, (sister of Rev. L. C. Bryan of Tennessee Conference,) and nine children. May God administer comfort in this dark hour, and enable them, by his grace, so to pass the waves of this weeping world, as ultimately to meet their loved and lost in the climes of light and love.
