I took a quick look via google. Of course, I didn't find what I thought I remembered. I found this http://www.kendrickplace.com/househistory.htm I'm certainly not up un the history of the house. I did see mention that the Rankin brothers sold to Dawson all right, but is it possible this was their sister or some of the family's husband? That would have been still keeping the property in the family, so to speak. http://www.geocities.com/edenwood2000/descendants_Thomas_Dawson_Gen.html 69.

I also found Kendrick Place Paranormal Investigation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywbfF3HJo8M Have you just googled "Sinnet Rankin" and various spellings. The Rankin family apparently liked the name Sinnet. I've found Linkpendium to be a good source of links to information. http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/MO/Jasper/ http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/sur/surc-R/surc-Ran/sur-Rankin/ ~~~~~ Orlena ~~~~~~ Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
