Biography

ELIZABETH "Betsy" WOOD married DAVID STINNETT who was born in Tennessee circa 1797. They were living in Union Township Marion County Arkansas in 1840, 1850, 1860. Moved to Baxter County Arkansas.

A Series of Articles Written by W. R. Jones “Some History of Marion County” discusses Betsy and David Stinnett.

Betsy, daughter of Judge and Hannah Wood, married David Stinnett, who lived and died where "Uncle Bill" Wilkerson now lives, a mile west of Yellville. Their children were, or at least a part of them, were: Lethe, married Dave Tutt; Elizabeth, married Jess Wickersham; Isom (perhaps Isham C. "Ice", accorind to source #1), married Harriet Goodall; David Jr., married a Ramsey, and removed to Texas; William, married a Ray; Wiley, married Rebecca Goodall; Benjamin never married.

Pioneer David Stinnett was the ancestor to all the Stinnetts of both Marion and Baxter County Arkansas.

Isom Stinnett, backed by his mother's people, the Wood's, and by the remnant of the old Everett faction, into which some of the Woods and Hudsons had inter-married, was elected sheriff, in 1858, and served six years; until 1864. Think he lived, at first, on his father's old place. His brother, Will, lived on the place now owned by Eld. Reed, adjoining the place now owned by Rev. J. W. Black (the old Frank Hudspeth place) some three miles west of Yellville, on the old Yellville and Harrison road.

Isom finally removed to what is now the Joe Fee place (once known as the Albert Cravens place) on White river, northeast of Flippin, at old Talburt, or Mooney, ford and ferry. Isom died on this place.

His brother, Benjamin, (Ben) was a Confederate soldier. He lost a leg at the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark. He served under Col. James P. Eagle, afterward governor of Arkansas. Ben never married, but lived with his mother, Patsy (Wood) Stinnett, until her death at great age. He then bought a little place, on the old Yellville and Harrison road, about a mile further east, and died on it, some years ago.
