Biography
Buried at Ezra Howard Farm, Isonville, Ky
Many people mistake her name for Lucinda. It's been spelled many ways: Sina, Sinah, Sena, Senah and mistakenly as Lina (in her Kentucky wedding record.) I first found Sinah's name in a War of 1812 Pension Application in the Russell County Virginia Law Books. Her father, George Grizzle had died and her uncle brought their case to court:
"The said John Grizzle a respectable person appeared in court and being duly sworn deposeth and saith that the said George Grizzle at the time of his death had five children who now reside in this county, that is to say, Sarah aged about 12 years, Sinah aged about 10 years, William aged about 9 years, Lucy aged about 7 years and John aged about 4 years."
Note that there is a Sinah and a Lucy. Two separate people.
