Message Board Post:
Alice Stinnett married a man with the last name Carr, first name unknown. They had at
least one child, a daughter named Elizabeth Carr. Elizabeth in turn married Edwin Talley
Stinnett of Fredericksburg, VA, whose family had settled in Kanawha County, WV in the
1950's.
The name Stinnett appearing here seperated by only one generation is odd, but I don't
think incestuous. I think the Carr family came to Kanawha County, WV from Ohio, in the
early 1900's or late 1800's. The Stinnett family came to Kanawha County from
Virginia, in the early 1950's. I don't know if Carr was married to Alice Stinnett
before relocating to Kanawha County or after. But I do know that Edwin Stinnett's
family came to Kanawha County in the 50's so it's unlikely the two Stinnett
families come from the same lineage.
Anyone know of a connection?
