Hi Cousin!
I've been in something of a prolonged absence in excess of 8 years, but have just thought it would be a good idea to check in once again... and am glad that I did!
I am descended from the "Texas" Hinkle, who happens to be my paternal grandmother's father. William Alpheus Hinkle (b. April 21, 1845 Cumberland, MD) married Laura Virginia Rizer in Wellersburg, PA. He was a civil engineer with the U.S. Corp of Enginners and based in Galveston. He was "project engineer" in charge of the building of the Galveston Jetties, which is a principle structure of the (now) Houston Ship Channel. He died on April 7, 1915 and is buried in Galveston (GPS fix 2916.403N 9449.518W).
