    Notes 
    • This individual appears in many Public Member trees at ancestry.com, usually with parents Jacob Minter (1770 - 1828) and Hannah Bailey (1777 - 1845). Some trees, eg the Muncy Family Tree, have a line for Samuel which goes like this:

      Parents: Jacob Minter (1770, Fauquier, Va - 1828) and Hannah Bailey (1777 - 1845)
      Grandparents: John Minter (1741, Virginia - 1774) and Mary Chilton (1750 - )
      Great grandparents: Joseph Minter (1715, Fauquier, Va - 1774) and Mary Buchanan (1719 - 1774)
      GG grandparents: Unknown and Mary Trabue (1758 - 1792) [these dates look very unlikely]

      I haven't been able to verify any of this lineage and am therefore leaving Samuel Jackson Minter unlinked to any ancestor. He is said in the Muncy Family Tree to have had some siblings, as below. It has yet to be established whether they had descendants who could be added to this 'sub-tree' of American Minters. The possble siblings are:
      Jospeh 1798 -
      Jacob 1800 - 1869
      John B 1802 - 1866
      Elizabeth 1815 - 1890
      Elmore 1819 -

      I'm including only information that I've been able to ratify.
