Notes:

John 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 Pearl
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 Dunn's Creek by communities in the
surrounding counties.

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.

Occupation: Farmer
Religion: Baptist

Buried in Henry Cemetery.

John married Elizabeth Wilkerson 1823, , Sevier County, Tennessee. Elizabeth was born 1794, South Carolina. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Housewife
Baptist
Buried in Henry Cemetery.

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 in April 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 herself 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 an appearance at the County Court Clerk's Office at Sevierville, Tennessee 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, possibly 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.

He applied for a Bounty Land Warrant on two different dates: March 30, 1852, and September 6, 1855 with the United States Government on his war of 1812 military services.
