Notes for JONATHAN PINNELL:

Jonathan often used the surname PENNELL, or PINNION.The reason for this is unknown, although his brothers Lewis and Peter, and Jonathan's son Richard also frequently used variations of the surname.This has made it more difficult to identify Jonathan's parents.

Peter was born "on the banks of the Cataba River", near Greenville, South Carolina. He served 2 years with the South Carolina troops in the Rev. War. He enlisted 11/1781 to serve under Wade Hampton as a company of cavalry but as there were not enough troops he was turned over to Col. Wayman's regiment of state troops (SC). In the fall of 1782, after British had taken Charleston, he was turned into foot service under Col. Ennis. This service lasted until the proclamation of peace in 4/1773. However, after this he was selected as one of four taken from each company to serve under Lt. Mallard. Their duty was to guard the goods from Charleston to Augusta that had been given to the Cherokees. In 1804 the family, now consisting of 9 children removed to Livingston County, Kentucky, on Green River. Previously Peter and his son, Asa, had ridden horseback from Greenville to find a suitable location for settlement. They liked the Green River valley and decided on this site. They filed their claims, stayed throughout the spring and summer of 1804, cleared the land and erected log cabins. Then they returned for their families. The Holloman Elder and Ziegler families traveled with them all making the trip on ox carts. Many of this wagon train accompanied the Pinnells to Missouri. According to records the weather of 1808-09 was most severe. In 1808 the Pinnells migrated to Christian County, Kentucky, to stay 10 years. In 1818 the family moved to Crawford County, Missouri and settled on the Meramec River in the eastern part of the county. In the spring of 1839 they moved to the farm on Brush Creek.
