1] Ref: Des. write-up of Sam Payne's relative. Note: John Van Sandt and Nancy Northcutt were the parents of Nancy Van Sandt who married Joseph Belt Bowen, son of Anthony and Amana. Amanda was a cousin of Nancy but I doubt if they knew it because of the different spelling of the Van Sant (Sandt) name. The Van Sant and Van Sandt families lived near each other in Fleming Co.--writer.
