      BIOGRAPHY:
      (Lee J. Smith, Ancestry.com)
      Thomas went to Ripley County, where he married Nancy.
      In my opinion Thomas and Nancy were probably buried in Cross Plains Baptist Cemetery, Ripley Co.,IN as many Kinnetts and Bassets are buried there.
      Thomas and Nancy lived in Brown Township. Thomas was a farmer. He purchased land 6 December 1845 N 1/4 Sec. 26-6-12. 40 acres. In 1857 he sold land to Henry Berner. In 1864 he sold 5 acres to James M. Kinnett (NE Se 1/2, E 1?2 NW 22'6-12).
