Surnames: Sprinkle, Stephens, Williams of Henderson Co., KY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AB.2ACE/943.127.135.1 Message Board Post: Regarding George Sprinkle, of early Henderson Co., KY, he married Catherine Stephens, sister of David Stephens, and Catherine and David as co-tenants owned at least part of Lot 23, Henderson & Co. grant. The Stephens siblings [not husband and wife] bought the property in 1799. I do not know who the Sprinkle children were. What do the censuses say? How about deeds or probates? For a time, the Sprinkles were in Indiana--Vanderbergh Co. [is that spelling right], according to another deed, I believe. They may have moved elsewhere in Indiana. I believe it was my ancestor, Samuel Farrar Williams, formerly of Granville Co., NC, who bought 100 A. of Lot 23 from the Sprinkles about 1806. Later, after S.F.Williams married in 1813 Elizabeth, the widow of David Stephens [he was a quartermaster in War of 1812], he sold his part of Lot 23 to his son Alfred Williams. I have not searched the deeds of Henderson Co. in several years. I do not know whether the Sprinkles owned other property in Henderson Co. The deed indexes [grantor and grantee] are available on film from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and can be borrowed for a small fee through a nearby FH center. Deeds in KY, as well as court order books, have helped me solve many a relationship. Also probates--when you can find them!!! If anyone knows the maiden name of Elizabeth, widow of Stephens and later wife of Williams, I would be pleased to receive that information. She was mother of about eight children, whose names I have gathered from deeds of Henderson Co., KY. E.W.Wallace
