Note

Marriage record shows her surname was Surat; however, there is some debate as to her maiden name. Several of her children's death certificates show her maiden name as Fry, so we have used that. However, DNA test results of descendants of Cynthia appear to show a connection to the Surat family.

Their marriage ended in divorce after 1850.

Removed son William Sprinkle (Sprinkle-1777). He was born in the 1930's about 57 years after her death
