Beverly, I believe the father of your Robert Milton Pinkerton was David Pinkerton a brother
to my Robert Pinkerton Jr (my great great
grandfather)...If so, they were the sons of Robert
Chapman Pinkerton who was born 22 Febraury 1779 in
Orange Co., North Carolina. Robert died 7 March 1846
in Buncombe Co., NC, Fairview and was buried in Cane
Creek Cemetery. He married Mary Ray , 6 Sept 1800 in
Rowan Co., NC. She was born 9 July 1781 in Orange Co.
NC. Mary died 26 Sept 1864 in Boncombe Co. NC and was

This list of children comes from information compiled by Bartina Wilson Peoples and I also have notes of Howard Lee.(Have you seen any of Bartina's research notes? She's done a great job!)
Other notes on your David:

Co., Tx. He married Christina "Teny" Garren. She was
born 11 Feb 1799 in Randolph Co. NC, the daughter of
