Dickson County (Tennessee). County Clerk. Accounts of insolvent estates, 1860-1896, administrator's bonds and letters, 1912-1966, dentist registers, 1891-1945, etc. FHL film no. 497183. Administrator's settlements Apr 1823-Feb. 1860. Microreproduction of manuscript and typescript. Located and copied the record listing Powell Sinks. Here is the names of buyers from his estate; John Adams John Daniel James Daniel Joseph Austin Joseph Lisle, pronounced Liles Howard Turner William Underwood Eleanor Parrish, married John S. Spencer 24 Jan 1829 Dickson Co Tn Henry Marable (think his grandpa was George Marable, and grandma was Mary Hartwell, Hartwell being in the family given names of Sinks descendants later in the Tn line.) Rody Payne, think she was Powells daughter as Rhoda was a name in Sinks decendants in the Tn line. Powell Sinks Jr Zachariah Sinks, (bought 50 acres of land) Henry Sinks Elizabeth Sinks, (Powell Jr wife from Lisle family?) Notice Jesse Sinks not listed as a buyer. Notice Martha Sinks not listed, think she was Powell Sr wife and died after 1824 and before Powells death. She wasn't Jesse Sinks wife, he had remarried to Anna Whittington in 1817 unless she was wife of Zach or Henry Sinks I don't know but I'll get to her in next post. I'm thinking Jesse took care of Powell and what ever he wanted from the estate the siblings let him have before the sale like cows, wagon, etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
