MYRLE SINNARD is very anxious to learn who is the father of ABRAHAM SINNARD b. 1791 and also how are the early SINNARDS in the same area related. An autobiography by a grand daughter of ABRAHAM revealed her great- grand-father died and his widow married a JOHN CUMMING (possibly spelled CUMMINS?), so possibly ABRAHAM lived in this household until the time of his marriage. ABRAHAM was b. 1791 and was in Ohio in 1796. His brother WILLIAM was b. in Penna. in 1785.

MYRLE SINNARD has more data on the descendants of ABRAHAM.

There was a ABRAHAM SINNARD b. 1814, d 1901; m. JANE HOLLINGSHEAD (b. in Va.) and had: SILAS, JOHN W., RICHARD DENNIS & JAMES F. ABRAHAM & JANE were buried in Spring Valley Cem. near Lebanon, O(hio).
