Tinker Family Washington County, Tennessee

A TINKER family descendant sent me this photograph several years ago. It was in her grandmother's collection. This is the same photograph which appeared in a book that others have listed on ancestry and elsewhere. She also copied the writing on the back and sent that to me as well.

Transcription by me: Phillip Parks Tinker (Our Great Grandpa). Wife Alice Tinker, Our Great Grandma. Aunt Hess Tinker (our Great Aunt) Frank Tinker, (Our Grandpa) Grandpa`s brothers Barnett, Phil, Willie, Jake, Boone, Bernie. White Coat, has grapes in his hand. Aunt Sallie Phillips, grandpa`s other sister is not in this picture. Our Great Grandma Alice Tinker was a Graham before she married and Grandpa Phillip Parks Tinker mother was a Parks before she married.

This photograph is of the Phillip Parks TINKER Sr. family. Phillip Parks TINKER Sr married one Anne Hessaltine GRAHAM daughter of John GRAHAM and Mary BAYLESS.  Apparently this family member referred to Anne as Alice. This is the first time I have seen her called Alice, she is usually referred to as Anne in the documents pertaining to the family. Anne GRAHAMS line of the Graham family can be traced back to Scotland. In a future post I will be sharing a little of the GRAHAM genealogy that I have traced thus far. Phillip Parks TINKER Sr was the son of James Abraham TINKER and Nancy A. PARKS. This couple made their home in Washington, then Unicoi County, Tennessee area.
