Research Notes
Buried on his farm.
The article on Zephaniah's son Henry Fry Binkley in Biographical Annals of Lancaster County, pub'd by J. H. Beers & Co. 1903 [ p. 911] gives the history of this line. Here is what it says about Zephaniah:
Zephaniah Binkley, father of Henry F., was born on the old homestead, Dec. 2, 1806; and died March 20, 1880, his remains being interred in the family burying ground on that farm [later called 'the Stehman Herr farm' -- owned by Stehman Herr]. He adopted agriculture as a life work, and never left the farm where he was born.
He married Catharine Frey, a daughter of Peter Frey. She was born Sept. 21, 1808, on a farm embraced within the Indiantown tract, in Manor township. She died Jan. 5, 1875.
In the family of Zephaniah and Catharine (Frey) Binkley were nine children, namely: David F. is now living with his son-in-law, John N. Herr, in Manor township; an infant son died Aug. 20, 1828; Magdalena, born March 30, 1830, died Feb. 9, 1831; John has been a minister of the United Brethren Church since 1866, and is now a resident of Lebanon county, Pa.; Christian F. is a resident of West Lampeter township, Lancaster county [this would be 1903, but he is elsewhere reported d. 24 Dec 1892]; Peter died Sept. 21, 1871, at the age of twenty-nine years, eleven months and twenty-one days; Henry F. is mentioned below; Mary is the wife of Simon REESE of Lancaster; and Catharine is the wife of Isaac KEEPORT of Manor townshi.
If Zephania never left the farm where he was born, he was born in Manor Tp.
1869 directory of inhabitants of Manor Tp shows Zephaniah with post office at Millersville. Son Christian is a farmer at Columbia. Samuel, Peter, and Henry Binkley are also farmers with the post office address Millersville. Assume Peter & Henry are Zephaniah's sons; who was Samuel? Perhaps Johnson Binkley's son, who died at Safe Harbor. [http:/rootsweb.com/~pacahsmano1869.htm by the Conestoga Historical Society 2007].
The farm was evidently later sold to Paris Herr and was called the Stehman Herr farm in 1976 when Wilmer J. Eshleman transcribed the gravestones there -- this is the farm on which the Binkley Cemetery lies, on Walnut Hill Rd.
