Just when I thought I had hit a dead end on my Pinkard research, I happened upon a new vital record– the death certificate for my great-great-grandmother, Narcis Pinkard– and one more generation to add to the family tree.
You may recall that I found her name listed among those buried at Porterdale Cemetery in Columbus, Ga. Those records listed her death as 1934. The official death record confirms this, and also lists her father as Henry Hamilton.
Hamilton. I’m connecting all sorts of dots with this discovery.
Last year, I came across a Hamilton in a Census. His name was John, and in 1900 he lived with Ike and Narcis Pinkard, my great-great-grandparents. I now realize that the Henry Hamilton living next door to the Pinkards was more than likely John and Narcis’ father.

I tried to leave a comment earlier but didn’t do it correctly. Sorry. We are trying to determine the age of a house we own. It was built by my husband’s grandfather who was moved from Haw Ridge, Al, to another area of Dale County by the government to use the land at Haw Ridge as a part of what was then Camp Rucker. The problem is we have not been able to really determine when that was. His name was Fred Harden, married to Laura Willis. You are the closest I have been able to find who might have the information. I hate to be a bother, but if you happen to have information on him I would be so appreciative. All the information we have came from their daughter, my husband’s mom, but she was a little foggy on dates. Thanks so much for your time.
