Samuel Rankin, youngest son of John (sic) (William), was born July 18, 1769, in Winchester, Va., and came to this county in 1774. On January 7, 1796, he was married to Jane McConahey, who was born February 18, 1775, daughter of a pioneer settler. The following children were born to their union: William, John, David, Matthew, Samuel, Stephen, James, Matilda, Abigail and Jane. Of these children Jane is the only one yet living. She is unmarried. The others lived to an adult age, and were citizens of Washington county. Samuel Rankin became a wealthy farmer, and always lived on the old home farm, situated about two miles northwest of Hickory, this county. In politics he was a Democrat, and was one of the famous minute-men. In religion he and his wife were members of the Union Church. He died in October 1820, being followed by his wife July 20, 1869, in her ninety-fourth year. The remains of both lie in the U. P. cemetery at Hickory, Mt. Pleasant township, this county. Their children were as follows: William, born November 24, 1796 (deceased January 13, 1884); John, born April 4, 1798 (deceased in April, 1866); David, born February 15, 1800 (deceased July 27, 1858); Matthew, born February 15, 1802 (deceased in June, 1880); Matilda, born March 22, 1804 (deceased in February, 1875); Samuel, born June 3, 1806 (deceased May 27, 1834), Abigail, born in October, 1808 (lived on the old homestead until her death); James (deceased, mentioned below); Stephen, born August 20, 1813 (deceased in February, 1877); and Jane, born February 6, 1817 (living in Burgettstown).

Samuel Rankin, also a son of William, settled on land left him by his father. James, his son, now owns one hundred and twenty-five acres of it, and the heirs of David own a part. He died July 10, 1820, and left ten children. William and John settled where James now lives. After his father's death he purchased their interest, and has since lived there. The old mill was built as a saw-mill in 1806, by Samuel Rankin, and in a few years was changed to a grist-mill, and is still used in that work.

15. WILLIAM³ RANKIN (DAVID², DAVID¹) was born WFT Est. 1750-1773 in Virginia. He married SUSANNAH UNKNOWN Abt. 1765. She was born WFT Est. 1750-1773 in Virginia.

Notes for WILLIAM RANKIN:
SOURCE: George Rankin <rank@atlantic.net>

I think William Rankin in Cynthiana, Kentucky who was David Rankin's son is my ancestor.He was born in the 1700's. He came to Logan County, Illinois in 1836. His children were Augustis T., Martha, Andrew, Isaac Newton, Sarah, and William. Augustis T. was my Great, Great, Great Grandfather and was born in 1818. You have David's son William being married to Susannah Sinnet. I don't think this is correct. I do think William was married to a Susannah, but not a Sinnet. The Sinnets were from Ohio and there was a William Rankin, son of Hugh Rankin, that was married to a Susannah Sinnet. This William Rankin also came to Logan County Illinois, I am aware of both William Rankin's. Could you help me on this information?

Children of WILLIAM RANKIN and SUSANNAH UNKNOWN are:

	i.	MARTHA⁴ RANKIN, b. WFT Est. 1769-1818.
	ii.	ANDREW RANKIN, b. WFT Est. 1769-1818.
37.	iii.	ISAAC NEWTON RANKIN, b. 1804, Pendleton Co, KY.
	iv.	SARAH RANKIN, b. WFT Est. 1769-1818.
	v.	WILLIAM RANKIN, b. WFT Est. 1769-1818.
38.	vi.	AUGUSTUS T. RANKIN, b. 1818, Kentucky.
