WILLIAM TINKER, a prominent retired farmer and highly esteemed citizen of Clifford town- ship, Susquehanna county, was born on his grand- father's old homestead in that township, February 20, 1830, a son of John and Agnes ( Stevenson) Tinker.

John Tinker, father of our subject, was born in Falkirk, Scotland, May 11, 1796, and in 1817 came to America with his parents, William and May ( Anderson) Tinker, also natives of Falkirk. They spent the first winter in New York City, then removed to Little Britain, Orange Co., N.

Dunn, and was a wealthy, prominent and charitable farmer residing on the old homestead, where he died June 3. 1884; and Flem- ing died in Scotland at an early age.

He was a large land owner in Susquehanna county, and became a noted speculator, stock farmer and money lender. In the spring of 1830 he removed to the farm in Clifford township, where his daughters now reside. Returning to Scotland, he was married in Silverwood, Ayrshire, March 18, 1829, to Miss Agnes Stevenson, a native of that place and a daugh- ter of Thomas and Agnes ( Templeton) Stevenson.

He went to Lehigh county, where he learned the art; then returned to Lower Smithfield, where he erected a shop about the year 1819. He wove spreads and worked in general for farmers and others. In connection with weaving he held an ap- pointment from the Governor of Pennsylvania as jus- tice of the peace for many years. His jurisdiction extended over five townships. He and his wid- owed mother kept house to the time of his marriage, in 1828, to Miss Sarah Schoch, daugliter of Jacob and Anna M. Schoch, of Mt. Bethel, Northampton Co., Penn. Sarah Schoch was born April 10, 1806.

Henry Smith continued the occupation of weaving until about 1840, when failing health brought him to seek a more healthful occupation. A number of children were already added to the family. He purchased some additional land and began farming. Later he purchased more land and built the necessary farm buildings, also an addition to his house. Schools being few and far between, people, generally speaking, were . unlearned. In those days the law made 110 provision for limita- tion. It was common for creditors to sue for the collection of small debts, and this brought distress and trouble, and many a person sought counsel and advice in the person of Squire Smith. Politically Mr. Smith was an Old-line Whig until the advent

of the Republican party. lle was a member of the German Reformed Church. He continued farming up to his death, on September 6, 1862. Sarah ( Schoch) Smith survived him many years, passing away on the old homestead February II, 1895, in her eighty-ninth year.

Aaron Smith was brought up on the farm of his birth, and received such educational advantages as were afforded by the public schools of his boy- hood days. He was trained to agricultural pur- suits, assisting his father in the work about the home farm, and in his carly manhood also learned the milling business, at which he served four years.

Mr. Smith was enrolled, August 18, 1862, at Stroudsburg, under W. K. Haviland for three years or during the war. The company was called to Harrisburg on September I. A regimental or- ganization was effected by the choice of the follow- ing officers: Colonel, Robert P. Cummings, of Somerset county ; lieutenant-colonel, Alfred B. MeCahont, of Venango county; major, John Bradley, of Luzerne county. It was called the 142nd Regiment Pa. Vols., and was sworn into the U. S. serviee at Harrisburg. The following day they were ordered to Washington, and arrived there just as the wounded were coming in after the second battle of Bull Run. Few of them had ever seen the distinguished place before, and the dome of the great Capitol building rose up before them in great splendor as they entered the city. They learned from the wounded that eame flocking into the city that the Army of the Potomae had been defeated on the same identical ground where the first battle of Bull Run had been fought the year before. The regiment was marched out about four miles, near the Maryland line, where they were or- dered into eamp. Soon the regiment was actively engaged throwing up earthworks and felling the trees around the chain of forts. While encamped here Gen. McClellan, at the head of the deicated army, passed their eamp for Maryland. A few days later the booming of cannon was heard, which proved to be at South Mountain between Gens. Hill and Longstreet, Confederates, and Ilooker and Reno, Federals. Three days later, on the 17th of September, the battle of Antietam was fought. Gen. Lee retreated from the field. The loss of killed and wounded was heavy on both sides. Gen. I.ce erossed the Potomae into Virginia. The 142nd regiment was ordered to pack up and leave for Washington, where they boarded a train on the B. & O. railroad for Frederick, Md. There a gen-

eral field hospital was established for the wounded which were brought to that place from South Mountain and Antietam. The regiment was on duty there for a few weeks, where they heard the groans among the suffering, wounded and dying soldiers. From this place his regiment left for Antietam, where they joined the Army of the Po- toniac. On October 26, which was Sunday, with this grand old army they made their first day's inarch. They well remember the day. It com- menced raining in the morning and continued till late in the night, when it changed into sleet and snow. That was a night of suffering. In the morning they found the fences for miles around had been burned. The next morning they resumed their march, and that night camped at Berlin, on the Potomac. They remained there a few days, where they were supplied with rations and forty rounds of ammunition. Then they crossed the Potomac on their march to Fredericksburg. On the way, at Warrenton, Va., the Army of the Potomac was drawn up into line and reviewed by President Lincoln, Gen. McClellan and Gen. Burn- side. At this place Gen. Burnside superseded Gen. McClellan in command of the Army of the Poto- mac. They continued the march to Brooks Sta- tion, where the army encamped a few days, getting ready for the great battle of Fredericksburg, which was fought December 13, 1862, proving a dis- astrous defeat to Gen. Burnside's army. They re- treated across the Rappahannock under the dark- ness of the night. In the morning the defeated army was safely across the river. The loss to the regiment was 270 men killed and wounded. Major Bradley was shot in the leg, and died from its effects. The battle was brief but terrific. Many of Mr. Smith's comrades in his company fell in the advance. Mr. Smith found his overcoat the worse *for wear after the battle, several holes being dis- covered. From this place the army went into win- ter quarters at Belle Plain, Va. In February a gen- eral move was ordered, which proved a disastrous affair, and was known as the "Burnside Mud March." The next engagement was at Chancel- lorsville, and there the army met with further dis- aster. His regiment, connected with the First Army Corps, was making a feint below Fredericks- burg to draw the enemy's force from Chancellors- ville. The enemy was shelling them from the heights. Disaster happened to the Eleventh Corps, and the regiment was ordered to report with haste to the right of the army. As they pulled out a piece of an exploded shell took the under jaw off of the Colonel's horse. Another horse was sub- stituted, a forward move was made. They reached Chancellorsville, a distance of eighteen miles, in the night. After crossing at the W. S. Ford they passed to the front, where the battle was raging. As the regiment went into line of battle on the eve of a charge, there came a lull in the battle, as both armies ceased firing. The regiment slept on their arms for the night. In the morning the battle was
