Henry Hankinson, as a young boy, was educated by his Aunt Hannah Hankinson
on the Hankinson Family Plantation in Rowland's Mills, Hunterdon County,
NJ. Following his early education, he read law under Nathaniel Saxton, Esq. a
noted attorney in Flemington, Hunterdon County, NJ. Henry was admitted to
practice law by the NJ Supreme Court for the November, 1794 term. Henry
Hankinson settled in Washington, Warren County, NJ. He erected the finest
brick home in the town upon his arrival. He practiced law from that home for
many years. On August 14, 1800, he married Mary McCullough. The ceremony was
preformed by Rev. William B. Sloan. Major Henry Hankinson, Esquire, was an
elder in the Mansfield-Woodhouse Church in Washington, NJ before converting
to Methodism, his wife's faith. He became a member of the Asbury Methodist
Church. Mary, his wife, died when their daughters Keturah McCullough Hankinson
and Eliza Budd Hankinson were four and two years old respectively. They
were raised on their grandfather William McCullogh's Plantation in Asbury,
NJ. They always considered the McCullough Mansion their home and were both
married from there. Henry Hankinson never remarried. Henry became a major
