Her mother,
Mrs. Sarah A. (Tinkey) Willis, was also of sturdy ancestry. On the paternal side the mother’s ancestry goes back nearly two centuries to her great-great-grandfather, George Tinkey, a native of the Province of Hesse, Germany, who came to America about 1760 and located in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The maternal ancestors have been traced back over 300 years to Johann Krumrein of Jungholzhausen, Wurtemburg. Johann Krumrein was born in 1592. The first progenitor in America of this side of the house was George Lenhart Krumrein, born in Germany, 1719, and landed at Philadelphia from the Palatinate in 1749.
