!NOTES:From my old web page for this family:
Sarah Wood was born ca 1755/65, presumably in Georgetown District, now Marion County, South Carolina. She was named in her father's Will of 1808 as his daughter "Sarah Chinners".
Sarah Wood was married to a Mr. Chinners, per her father's will of 1808. He did not include the given name of Sarah's husband though. However, other records show that Sarah Wood was married to Ezekiel Chinners, and they probably married prior to 1790.
Ezekiel Chinners was born before 1755, presumably in the present day Horry County, though then Georgetown District. I don't know who his parents were. Records show a "Chinners Swamp" in Horry County, and this is where they lived.
Ezekiel Chinners was the only "Chinners" listed in Georgetown District, SC in 1790 (in fact, he was the only Chinners in all of SC). This census was alphabetical, so I don't know who his neighbors were, or if in present Horry or Marion County (though I suspect Horry).

1 Female(s) any age (before 1790) Sarah WOOD Chinners (1755/74) wife
On 16 Oct 1792, Ezekiel and Sarah Chinners sold 100 acres to Aaron Cooper, on North side of Chinners Swamp. Witnessed by Joseph Cooper. (Horry Co, SC Deed Book A-1 page 164, transcribed on the Horry Co, SC Historical Society web pages)
Ezekiel Chinners was listed on the 1800 census in Georgetown District, Kingston County (present Horry County). His household seemed to contain a few "extra" people born before 1790, who were not home in 1790, so possibly not children, but other relatives, or boarders.

On 5 Oct 1802 Ezekiel Chinners and William McQueen witnessed two deeds from Commissioners to John Wilson for Lot # 18 (didn't say in what town). (Horry Co, SC Deed Book A-1 page 152 and 156, transcribed on the Horry Co, SC Historical Society web pages)
On 4 May 1804, Ezekiel Chinners recorded his "stock mark" (how he marked his livestock) in Horry court, as "Stockmark (used for 14 years) underbit in the right ear, 2 splits in the left, brand HC". (Horry Co, SC Deed Book A-1 page 198, transcribed on the Horry Co, SC Historical Society web pages)
On 19 Mar 1808 "Sarah Chinners" was named in the Will of her father John Wood Sr. (Probate Roll # 805, published in "Probate Records, Marion County, South Carolina Volume Two", by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, 1985, page 123).
There is a deed dated 9 Feb 1809 where Hardy Harbert Chinners purchases land from John Dimery. At the end of the deed it says that Sarah Chinners paid Dimery, so this seems to suggest that she was associated with Hardy Harbert Chinners. Additional records on him show him to be of proper age to have been her son, so it seems a reasonable assumption. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book E, page 21, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A - E 1800-1811", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1996)
Ezekiel and Sarah Chinners apparently moved back to Marion County area sometime before 1810, for he was listed on the 1810 census in Marion District. He was on the same page with (but several house away from) widow Unity Wood, somehow connected to this family.

1 Female(s) 45 & up (before 1765) Sarah WOOD Chinners (1755/65)
On 5 Oct 1814 Benjamin Dozier and wife Isabel, of Marion District, sold 280 acres to Sarah Chinners, planter, of Horry District. The deed was for $350, and the land on Gum Swamp and Jones Swamp, North East side of Great Pee Dee River, and West side of Catfish Creek. Witnesses were her brother Jesse Wood, and Stephen Burket. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book I, page 7, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume Two Books F-I & K 1811-1823", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1997)
Sometime between 1814 and 1820, the Chinners moved from Horry back to Marion, perhaps in 1814 after the purchase of the 280 acres.
On 3 Jul 1820, Ezekiel Chinners, Sarah Chinners and Hardy H. Chinners (their son, I think), all of Marion District, sold land to Silas White for $500, 280 acres "containing the plantation where we now live" on Gum Swamp, Jones Swamp. (This seems to be the same land deeded to Sarah on 5 Oct 1814, see above). Signed: Ezekiel Chinners, Sarah Chinners, Hardy H. Chinners. Witnesses were Edward Brown and Jesse Legett (Sarah's brother-in-law). (Marion Co, SC Deed Book I, page 288, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume Two Books F-I & K 1811-1823", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1997)
Ezekiel Chinners must have died about the same time this deed was made, for Sarah was listed as head of household on the 1820 census in Marion Dist, SC. Unfortunately, this one was alphabetical, so I can't tell who her neighbors were.

Sarah Wood Chinners died sometime between 1820 and 22 Oct 1821, for on that date, Jesse Legette (her brother-in-law) made suit for letters of administration for "Sarah Chinners alias Sarah Wood". Bondsmen were Jesse Legett, Jesse Wood (her brother) and David Godbold. No heirs were named, but among the purchasers were Sarah Wood (her mother), Rebecca Wood (don't know who this is) and Jesse Wood (brother).
