Notes for William S. STINNETTWilliam Stinnett moved from Mississippi to Alabama and bought the farm of I.R. McGowens' uncle, near Mt. Roswell, Alabama.
Inice Stinnett Sykes (great, great granddaughter of William) wrote:
William Clay Stinnett was French, English and Chickasaw Indian, died in Mt. Roswell, Limestone Co., Alabama. My great, great grandmother was a full-blood Chickasaw Indian; couldn't speak a word of English.
Her name was Colbert. I never saw my grandfather. He was married twice and has two sons named Clement Clay, and Elbert Hartwell, (Elbert was my father), and he also had two daughters named Nanny and Betty.
Elbert was born April 6, 1842. He is your great grandfather and he lived in Mt. Roswell, Limestone Co., Alabama.
I don't know the birth dates of the others, but I know that Nanny married Steve Beningfield, and Betty married Will Luster. Nanny lived in Alabama and Betty in Elmo, Texas.
There were two daughters by grandfathers second wife, named Lynn and Etta. They could have been twins, but I am not sure enough about that to say. One of them married a Mike Gormley, and I do not know about the other one.
Grandfather had a two brothers, Ruff Stinnett and Wyley Stinnett. There were two nephews, little Ruff and little Wyley.
Grandfather had a large plantation before the Civil War. He owned about 90 Negroes. He lost 100 bales of cotton and some livestock during the war, and the cotton he lost was worth 50 cents per pound. This information was notarized by a Confederate soldier by the name of E. F. Legg. He served in the same Company with my father, and at that time he was 88 years old. He told several incidents of the war very interestingly.

Before the undersigned, a notary public in and for the Division aforesaid, on this day appeared Humdy Williams who being by me duly sworn testified on oath as follows:
My name is Humdy Williams, I am 92 years of age, I live in the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. I was born in the old Chickasaw Nation, Mississippi in the neighborhood of Pontotoc and lived there until I came to what is called the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. I understood Chickasaw, Choctaw and English and acted as interpreter for whites and Indians on several occasions, especially at Stone Hill where the indians drew provision, beef, etc.
I was well acquainted with a family of indians in Mississippi by the name of Colbert in which was the name James, Frank, Joe, Martin, Ben, and Abagail. Bill Colbert was their father's name. They were recognized by every body on being full blood choctaw indian.
Abagail married a white man in old Chickasaw Nation, by the name of William Stinnett, who came to the Chickasaw Nation when the indians left the country.

Notes for Isham STINNETT , Sr.Moved from Tennessee to Illinois in 1839.
Notes for John STINNETTJohn and Elizabeth lived in the Old Henry Town community, now called Howard's View. At that time Jones Cove was the center of District #1 that included Pear Valley, Henry Town and Dunn's Creek up to Rocky Flats and over on Yellow Britches and west to Wilhite and to what is known as Bethany Church community. Many of these areas were broken up into smaller communities such as Martha's Branch, Bugger Town and Bummer Town. When combined into one district it was known as Jones Cove on the waters of Dun's Creek by communitites in the surrounding area.
All available records on the Stinnett name indicate that the first family to settle permanently on the waters of Dunn's Creek was John Stinnett. He bought land in Sevier County, Tennessee on Dunn's Creek before the year 1829. In the year 1803, this John Stinnett and James Stinnett Sr. and James Stinnett Jr. owned several hundred acres of land on Sinking Creek in Cocke County, Tennessee. John may have lived there before buying land in Sevier County, Tennessee. These Stinnetts may have migrated through Western North Carolina. In the 1790 census there was a John Stinnett and a William Stinnett living in the Salisbury District of Rowan County, North Carolina. Both were young men with a wife and one child each, both males. They may have moved into Washington County, Tennessee and on down the river routes to Cocke County, Tennessee by way of the Nallichucky River. There was a William Stinnett living in Cocke County, Tennessee in 1800. He was appointed Ensign in the Militia that year. In 1810, William received a grant for 31 acres of land near the mouth of English Creek. All the above Stinnetts except James Jr. were gone by the time the 1830 Census was taken. This James had a family and appeared to be living where William had bought land.
John Stinnett owned land in District #1 of Sevier County, Tennessee on Dunn's Creek before 1829. On 1 May 1829, a survey was made for 25 acres of land joining John's line and granted by the state of Tennessee. It was signed by Gov. William Carroll on 28 February 1832.
On the 1837 Sevier County, Tennessee District #1 tax list, John, Riley, and Alexander Stinnett were listed as property owners and tax payers.
John was among the first settlers to come to the Henry Town area of Jones Cove, Sevier County, Tennessee. He had a young wife and several children at home. It appears he has been married three times and this wife is Elizabeth Wilkerson. His second wife was probably a King. There is no clue who his first wife was.
Notes for Elizabeth "Old Betts" WILKERSON"It was said that 'Old Betts' as she was called, was ruler of the roost and a hellcat on wheels. It is believed that Betts was married first to a McKissick and he was killed in the Indian wars about 1812. She was expecting a child at that time. Alexander was eleven or twelve at the time of his mother's marriage to John Stinnett.
From the minutes of the New Salem Baptist Church on the fourth Saturday inApril 1863, The New Salem Baptist Church of Jones Cove met in business session and brought a charge of fornication against Elizabeth Stinnett, and cited her to the next business meeting to defend herslf against the charge. In the next meeting she had a witness that testified for her and she was cleared of the charge by a vote of the body present and restored to full fellowship. There was no mention who the third party was. It probably was Thomas Stinnett, a son of John by a previous marriage. He came to Tennessee and lived for a while. He was listed in the 1860 census as living in the Stinnett household. He either died or moved before the next census. There is a Thomas stinnett buried in the Number One Henry Cemetery in Old Henry Town.
Elizabeth is not listed in the 1870 census of Sevier County, but in 1874 she made and appearance at the County Clerk's Office at Sevierville, Tennesee and gave a sworn statement to the clerk that she had made and signed a deed for fifty acres of land to Alexander Stinnett in 1866 She is next found living with her daughter Margaret and Thomas Wilkerson in Wear's Valley, District No. 6, Sevier County, Tennessee. She is ninety years of age and she probably died there. No one knows where she is buried, possible in Wear's Valley or maybe in the Stinnett Cemetery. Alexander was the favorite child and she gave or sold him the farm that belonged to John. It must have caused trouble with their other children and there was a court action over this.".
