FAIRFIELD COUNTY OHIO
1801- From the book History of Perry County, published in 1883, page 262, Aaron Binckley, Esq., of Reading township, in response to an inquiry on the subject, writes: "My grandfather's name Christian Binckley. He came to Ohio in April 1801, and settled on the farm where I now reside, in section eleven of this (Reading) township. He built a cabin about one hundred yards from where my house is. The land was bought of George Arnold, who entered it, a short time before. Christian Binckley came from Washington county, Maryland, near a place called Funkstown. He died in 1832, at the age of ninety-five years."
This settlement of Christian Binckley, in the western part of Reading Township, is the earliest permanent one made within what is now Perry county, so far as any authentic information can be obtained. The place where Mr. Binckley settled was originally in Richland Township, Fairfield County, but when Perry was organized, two rows as sections were taken from Richland and attached to Reading, the section where Binckley settled being included. It will be noted the Christian Binckley was born in 1737, and he was a middle-aged man at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. He was sixty-four years old at the time he emigrated to this part of the country, and must have been one of the oldest man who ever came to this part of the western wilderness to hew out a new home. Aaron Binckley, the great grandson, who gives the information, must be about fifty years old, and there are few persons of that age in Perry County. Very few persons ever emigrated to what is now Perry County, Ohio, who were born so early as 1737.
1801- Vol. R, page 509. Thomas Jefferson President of the United States of America To all to whom these presents shall come Greeting. Know ye that Christian Binkley having deposited in the Treasury a certificate of the Register of the Land office at Chillicothe where by it appears that he has made full payment for the Lot on Section Numbered Two in the Township numbered Seventeen, in the Seventeenth Range of the lands directed to be sold at Chillicothe by the Act of Congress entitled "An Act to Amend the Act, entitled an Act providing for the sale of the lands of the united States in the Territory Northwest of the Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky River. There is granted by the United States in pursuance of the Act a foresaid unto the said Christian Binckley the lot or Section of land above described. To have And to hold the said Christian Binckley, And his heirs And Assigns forever. In Testimony Where of I have caused these letters to be made patent And the Seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Given under my hand at the City of Washington this fourth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred And one, And of the Independence of the United States of America, the twenty sixth Th. Jefferson, James Madison, Secretary of States
1801- In the book History of Perry County, Ohio, published in 1980, page 14, says, "ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH. Perry County's first settler and first Lutheran came to Reading Township in 1801 in the person of Christian Binckley."
1801- In, A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOLY TRINITY EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH NEW LEXINGTON, OHIO. Lutheranism came early to Perry County. It was in April 1801, that the first Lutheran, Christian Binckley emigrated from Maryland, according to Prof. C. L. Martzolff in his book, "Lutheranism in Perry County, Ohio." Christian Binckley settled in Reading Township, Perry County. A widower, he arrived here with his three sons and three daughters, who became the ancestors of numerous families in Perry and Allen Counties. It was not long before they were joined by the families of John Peter Overmeyer, born near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Peter Whitmore, a former soldier in the Revolutionary War. The former Joint Synod of Ohio had its founding at Somerset in 1818.
1802- From History of Perry Co., Ohio, by Clement L. Martzoloff says, "Christian Binkley was the first permanent settler in Perry Co. very early in the 1800's (c. 1802). He came from Washington Co., Maryland. He was the great grandfather of Capt. T.D. Binkley present representative from the county."
1814- Elizabeth Binkly's grave marker at Binckley's Ridge Cemetery says, "Elizabeth Binkly Died Apr. 18 1814 Aged 75 Years." There was more but the saying was in German.
1817- (The following is transcribed verbatim from a copy.) In the state of Ohio, Fairfield County Ss a Petition of Christian Binkley to vacate Elizabeth Town. Be it remembered that here to fore towit: at, a, Court of Common Pleas holden, at Lancaster in and for the County, forsaid, on the 4th day, of October A.D. 1817 Christian Binkley filed in Court his Petition in the words and figures following Viz: To the Honorable the Court of Common Pleas' in, and for the County of Fairfield and State of Ohio now in session.

1817- In the book, History of the State of Ohio, page 155, Published in 1883 says, "Perry County was formed from Washington, Fairfield and Muskingum, March 1, 1817. Fine tobacco is raised in large quantities. Wheat, corn, oats, hay, cattle, pork and wool add to the general wealth. This county was first settled in 1801. First settler was Christian Binckley, who built the first cabin in the county, about five miles west of Somerset, near the present County line. New Lexington is now the county seat."

1997- The following records are from Ann Sherrill Davis. Notes for CHRISTIAN BINKLEY: Captain Christian Binkley was a Revolutionary Soldier (Berks County, PENN.) Sources of information may be obtained from (1) History of Family in Biog. Records of Fairfield & Perry Counties by Graham? 1883; (2) History Perry County by C. L. Martzolff 1902; (3) Will of Capt. Christian Binkley, Perry County; (4) Gravestones Binkley Cemetery. (5) Baptism records St. John's Lutheran Church, Berks Co, PA: (6) Family Records by Stanley Bourdo, 11150 Bunting Rd, Curtis, Ohio, 43412 (7) DAR Records; (8) Land Deeds Maryland & Perry County, Ohio. (9) Had 10 children-newspaper account of Capt. Christian Binkley's (Binckley) death. Only six known for certain, possibly two named Jacob and Christian, Jr. An exact copy of his will was obtained from Perry county, Ohio at the courthouse Oct 1993. Christian Binkley's name is abundant in the land records in Perry County. Christian was the father of ten children; most are well known and well researched. Perhaps the unnamed died very early.
In the will of Capt. Christian Binkley, he names his deceased son, husband of Freny, surname unknown. His will stated that he wanted his daughter and daughter-in-law, Frany, to divide equally, his household belongings. This Christian Binkley can be located on the 1800 census, pg. 26, Elizabeth Twp., Allegheny Co., PA on a stop-over on their way from Washington Co., MD to land in Ohio. They arrived in Fairfield Co. Oh, sometime around April of 1801.
Book-"Biographical Sketches-History of Perry County, Ohio" sites on pg341 and I copy exactly midway through page. "The great ancestor of all the Binckley was Christian Sr., who came to Ohio a widower, his wife having died near Hagerstown, Maryland. The sons of this Christian Binckley, the patriarch of the family, were John, the father of Jacob, with whom Christian made his home, section 31, Hopewell Township. Then there were Adam Binckley and Heney Binckley, brothers of John, Sr. aforesaid, the three sons of the patriarch, Chriatian Binckley. They all came to Perry in 1801. At the same time he brought with him three daughters, to wit: Lizzie, wife of Jacob Foy, Katherine, wife of Adam Spoon (sic), and Sarah, wife of Henry Musser, near Millersport. For each of these three sons and three daughters, the old widower patriarch provided a home in this new land of promise. Christian lived till 1831 and died after his son John, in whose house he lived, now the Peter Shrider place. He was then in his ninety-seventh year.
