Parents: David & Ann (McNair) Wynkoop
Henry Wynkoop, (David, Gerardus, Gerrit, Gerret, Cornelius) born January 16, 1809
-----------------------
HENRY WYNKOOP, retired, P.O. Brownsburg, was born in Northampton township, Bucks county, January 16, 1809, and is a son of David and Ann (McNair) Wynkoop, the former a native of Northampton township, and the latter of Upper Makefield. Peter Wynkoop was the first of the name to emigrate to America. He was born in 1616, and came from Holland to New York in 1640, and settled in Albany, N.Y., in 1644. He was commissioned by the Patron to purchase land about the Catskills from the natives, and in connection with the commissary, General Curler, to recover land and other property which were alleged to have been purchased and misappropriated by Adrian Van der Donck, a former agent. Judge Henry Wynkoop, a descendant of the above, was born March 2, 1737. He was a lieutenant of the revolutionary war, and was associate judge of the common pleas court of Bucks county. He resigned the eldership of his church in Northampton and Southampton townships because of his absence while in congress. He died March 25, 1816. Gerardus, the grandfather of the present Henry Wynkoop, made a settlement in Northampton township in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and there lived until his death. He was a farmer by occupation. His son, David, father of Henry, was also a farmer. He represented Bucks county in the legislature six successive years, and in 1836 emigrated to Licking county, OH, where he died in 1842. He was the father of seven children: Elizabeth (deceased), James, Martha, who resides in Ohio and is now in her eighty-fifth year; Stephen R. (deceased), who was a clergyman and a missionary to Africa for some time, and died in Princeton, NJ; Henry, Charles, Mary A. (deceased), and Henry, who was reared on the homestead of his father and worked on the farm. He has been a resident of Upper Makefield township since 1813. In 1870 he moved to where he now lives. He owns this and another very fine farm in the same township, both places being finely improved. He was married October 9, 1833, to Lydia, daughter of Adrian and Lena (Craven) Cornell. Mr. and Mrs. Wynkoop are the parents of seven children: Louisa A., wife of James Jamison; Ellen, Mary, Henry, and Harriet, wife of Abraham Quick, living; and Stephen R. and David, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Wynkoop are members of the Presbyterian church. He has been an elder in the Thompson Memorial church, Solebury township, for forty-five years. He is an intelligent old gentleman, and a man of enterprise and integrity.
