Sarah McMINN, daughter of Jane & Robert?
I've really enjoyed this forum and learned a lot, but still have some questions. According to information submitted to the LDS files, Sarah T. McMINN (b. 8 July 1784 NC, d. 13 July 1887 TX) was the daughter of Jane KUYKENDALL and Robert McMINN, Sr. Has anyone found any evidence to support this? Was Sarah included in other lists of their children?
Sarah McMINN was the wife of Rev. Sion BLYTHE (b. 1781 NC, d. 1835 TX), a well-known Baptist minister in North Carolina and Alabama. Rev. BLYTHE died shortly after moving his large family from Alabama to Texas. In 1880, 96-year-old widow Sarah (McMINN) BLYTHE, was living with her daughter, Tabitha T. (BLYTHE) KINNARD, in Hays Co, Texas.
I've noticed connections between these BLYTHE, McMINN and KUYKENDALL families (locations, names of relatives, etc.). Rev. Sion BLYTHE was from Buncombe Co, NC, and the son of Elder James BLYTHE, a deacon in the Mud Creek Baptist Church, Flat Rock, Henderson County.
I would also appreciate any information concerning their daughter Tabitha T. BLYTHE's second husband, L. (Lemuel?) KINNARD. We believe he was born in N. or S. Carolina, and lived in Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma. He married the widowed Tabitha (BLYTHE) HARMON ca. 1862 in Texas, and left a few years later. He may have had another wife and children before and/or after this brief marriage. Has anyone come across the name KINNARD or KENNARD (or other variations) in connection with any of these families?
Thanks for your help.
Eva
