Pinnell
or Pinion? Two surnames, one family
[This section is definitely under construction - I'm just sticking bits of evidence in here as I come across them. I'll organize it later.]
Once you start looking for it, there is a substantial amount of evidence that this family (group of families?) used Pinnell interchangeably with Pinion. I have found examples as early as the 1790's and as late as the 1870's.
