Monitored the list for a year and layed off genealogy for a while, but have now resubscribed to the list in hopes of making a connection. My family tree ends in Daviess county and I have been dead there over the past 20 years. All puns intended. My ancestor is Richard SINNETT and his lovely wife Mary CATES Sinnett who lived in and around the Panther Creek Baptist Church. I believe that Richard and Mary Sinnett had several boys and girls but have yet to find any documentation to back this up. Henry SINNETT born in 1802 married Elizabeth STURMAN, another Daviess county resident. Her father, Thomas STURMAN died young and left her mother Nancy BRIANT STURMAN the awesome responsibility to raise her children. Now comes Zachariah BRIANT, Nancy's father, who sues his daughter for half her land, claiming that he had contributed to the purchase of it. The courts backed the father and he then left the state and settled in Spencer Indiana. What's a father to do, huh?? Nancy's mother was Tabitha STINNETT, who along with her husband and her children were instrumental in spreading the Baptist word to satellite churches that were spreading around. Would like to correspond with anyone else interested in these families. SINNETT STURMAN BRIANT STINNETT
