PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "JOSEPH PINKERTON FAMILY". Harold is the great-great grandson of Joseph's brother, George PINKERTON of Tremont, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. *The inspiration for Pinkerton Genealogy by Harold L. PINKERTON and his daughter, Sharon P.WAYLAND came from communication with a great-grandson of Joseph PINKERTON, Paul W. PINKERTON (1915-1990) a distant cousin, and his daughter Helen P.RYDELL. They worked for many years to map the various branches of Pinkerton cousins descended from Hugh PINKERTON (1767-1852) of Halifax, Dauphin County, PA
