Helkiah is the son of Ephraim Tinkham and Mary Browne. Mary is the daughter of Peter Browne, one of the Mayflower passengers and a signer of the Mayflower Compact.

Helkiah married Ruth [UMN] ca. 1684. It is purely speculation on the part of some that Ruth's parents were Jacob Cooke and Damaris Hopkins. The Mayflower Silver Books do not support this assumption and there are no other significant sources to support it.

They are parents of nine children:

Helkiah Jr: b.15 Aug 1685, d. ~1746
Mary (Ebenezer Curtis): b. 13 Aug 1687, d. 17 Mar 1717/8
John: b. 27 Mar 1689, d. 12 May 1730
Jacob: b. 15 Jun 1691, d. 18 Jun 1733
Caleb: b. 12 Oct 1693, d. 14 May 1748
Sarah: b. 30 Jan 1695, d. 22 Feb 1714
Ebenezer: b. 3 May 1698, Living in 24 Dec 1774
Ruth (Ebenezer Cobb): b. 13 Feb 1701, d. 7 Oct 1726
Peter: b. 1 Apr 1706, d. Nov 1783

Helkiah died between 1724 (church member) and 25 Sep 1731 (will sworn.)

In his father's will he is listed as Elkiah Tinkham. The last name has been spelt Tincom or Tinkecombe.

Some info provided by his 8th grt. grandson - Rich Pickwick.

Helkiah is the grandson of "Mayflower " passenger Peter Browne.
