A little bit about our surname SINNOTT
This most interesting name with variant spellings Sinnott, Sinnat, Senett, Sinnett, and Synnot, although found in England, and of English origin, is far more widespread in Ireland, where it has been Gaelicized as "Sionoid". The name itself derives from the Olde English personal name "Sigenoth" and the medieval personal name "Sinod", which means "victory-brave" from the elements "sige", victory and "noth", brave. The personal name appears as "Synodus" circa 1095 in Feudal Documents from the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds (Suffolk). The name has been prominent in Co. Wexford since the 13th Century (see below). They have often been referred to as the most numerous of Anglo-Norman families in Wexford after the Invasion of 1170 and until the advent of Cromwell possessed extensive estates and held important public offices due to their constant loyalty to the Crown. One Stephen Sinot appeared in 1275 in the Hundred Rolls of Suffolk. David Synnot was Governor of Wexford and was killed in its defence during the siege of 1649. Colonel Oliver Synnot was an emissary of the Duke of Lorraine in his negotiations with Ormond in 1650. Two Synnott's were officers in James 11's, circa 1685. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John Synod, which was dated 1247, in the Barony of Forth, during the reign of Irish High Kings in Opposition, 1022 - 1166. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
SINNOTT of County Wexford
You may have heard the old saying “all roads lead to Rome”. I keep thinking, “do all Sinnott’s lead to Wexford?”
It seems quite clear that there are going to be multiple origins of the Sennett/Sinnett/Sinnott/Synnott family name, but it is also quite clear that a huge number of the families in my S-NN-T one-name study do have Irish ancestry, and often that is stated to be either county Wexford, or the neighbouring county of Wicklow. While some lines have retained the Sinnott spelling (that is probably the most common still in Ireland), it would also seem that many of the emigrant families who have Irish ancestry had the spelling changed once they arrived in other countries. Blame it on regional accents, illiteracy or parish priests who made their own decisions on spelling – the result is that keeping a very open mind on spelling is going to make it a lot easier to link the different family groups .
Anyone with Irish ancestry will also know how hard it can actually be to positively identify your family once you get back to Irish shores – lost or destroyed records, repeated use of the same very common given names, and family stories that hint at origins but don’t give positive evidence of village names, can all create huge brick walls.
Enter genealogical DNA studies to the stage.
The Sennett (and variants) DNA study at familytreeDNA https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Sennett is up and running. The first three participants are registered, and all have SINNOTT ancestry that is documented back to County Wexford. What is really fascinating is that the two results that are back share a haplotype (E1b1b) that isn’t particularly common.
I already know that some, at least, of the Wexford Sinnotts descend from those Flemish soldiers who arrived in Co Wexford in the 12th century via Wales. Could they be the reason for this unexpected haplotype? Do all descendants of Wexford Sinnotts share this haplotype? Do Welsh Sinnett’s also share this genetic DNA signature? And is there any link between the Cornish Sennett’s and the Irish or Welsh variants of this name?
The only way to find out is more genealogical DNA testing.
The Sennett/Sinnott/Sinnett (and other variants of S-NN-T) DNA study can be found at https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Sennett
If you are from a S-NN-T family that has Irish origins, I’d love to hear from you through the Sennett one-name study (contact details on the profile page at http://www.one-name.org), and I’d especially be interested to have more people take the yDNA genealogical test. It only needs one male from each broader family group to get the DNA signature for that group, so get together with your relatives, share the cost, and encourage someone to be tested. This study is using the yDNA test, and ideally at least 37 markers are needed, though you can upgrade tests later.

"The following Genealogy of the Ancient and Noble family of Sinnott of Sinnott's Land in the County of Wexford, Ireland was copied for this book with great care by Walter Sinnott, Esq. of Orristown, Killinick, County Wexford.
1. Sir Walter Sinnott the first of that noble family came to Ireland with Richard de Clare, Earl Strongbow, about the year 1172.He was a Knight of great valor.Soon after his arrival in Ireland he was appointed governor of the town and County of Wexfordm together with Sir William Devereux. Soon after the arrival of King Henry II in Ireland for his good services obtained the lands and estates now called Sinnott's Land.He married the daughter of the aforesaid William Devereux and had issue:

(6.) Sir David Sinnott the eldest son of Sir Robert, married Eleanor Stafford daught of Sir John De Stafford, of Ballymacknee Castle (hmmmmm, he shared the same castle as the above mentioned Rossiter?) in the County of Wexford, Ireland.He had sons and daughters.
One of the sons (7.) married Alice Codd daugh. of Col. John Codd of Cleaast (the ea are very close together on this spelling and then followed by another a as I've entered it...must be a Gaelic name), Castle, County Wexford.A daughter (7.) married John Rossiter of Bargy Castle, County Wexford (hmmmm, this might be the correct castle for the Rossiter family). The son (7.) James Sinnott married the daughter of Nicholas Hay of Haytonw Castle, County of Wexford, Ireland.
(7.) Sir Edward Sinnott the eldest son married Julien Hore daugh. of Matthew Hore who was a member of Parliment from Wexford, Ireland for sixty years. The children: (8.) Catherine Sinnott married Roger Talbot, (8.)Eleanor Sinnott married Michael Redmond of Ballygows, (8.) John Sinnott became a captain in the army and married a daughter of Sir John O'Niel (O'Neil perhaps?) of Asterabays, (8.) Austin Sinnot married Jane Butler of Clough, County Wexford. At one time eight members of this strong old Sinnott family were returned to their positions in the Irish Parliament, proving that few families exceeded the Sinnott family in power and respectability.
(8.) Sir Walter Sinnott the eldest son was a gentleman of high spirit and of great valor.He joined Pierce Butler the eighth Earl of Ormond in his quarrel with the Earl of Desmond and Prince of Osfarry in which service he took a very active part, commanding five hundred of his own peasantry and defeated both the adversaries in Butler's favor.He married Joanna Walsh the daughter of Sir Robert Walsh, Baron of Old Court in the County of Kilkenny.He also married Catherine BUTLER the daught of Pierce Butler abovementioned, who was Earl of Ormond and Osfarry, this was about the year 1551.
(9.) Sir William Sinnott the eldest son of Sir Walter Sinnott and Joanna WALSH, was made chief governor of Wexford and Enniscorthy, and was a man of influence and power.He married a daughter of Sir John De Grace and his celebrated wife Margaret Walsh. Sir John was of Graces Castle in Tipperary.Sir William Sinnott had many sons and daughters.The son (10.) James Sinnott married the daughter of Sir John Tobin of Tobin Hall in the County of Kilkenny.
(10.) Mary Sinnott married Sir Richard WALSH of Balincooly Castle.
(10.) Sir Walter Sinnott the eldest son of Sir William above, greatly improved the House and Demesne of Ballytramont which is so beautifully located on the River Slaney.
He fortified the towers and ramparts. He married the daughter of Sir Nicholas the sixteenth Knight of Ballymager in Co. Wexford. Sir Walter Sinnott had many children.He bequeathed most of his lands to his sons. (11.)One of his daughters married Sir Roger TALBOT.(11.) One daughter married Willam HORE of Harperstown, England. (11.) One daughter married Patrick CHEVERS of Black Hall, Co. Wexford. (11.) One daughter married Thomas ROSSITER of Rathmacknee. (11.) One daughter married Oliver WALSH, Esq. of Earlsroth Castle, Co. Kilkenny.
(11.) Sir Walter Sinnott the eldest son was left very rich.His father died while he was young. He married the daughter of James TALBOT of Castletown and had many children.
(12.) Walter Sinnott his eldest son joined against the Parliament forces in great power and was in great favor of the Duke of Ormond. He represented the House of Ballytramont.
His son (13.) Robert Sinnott joined the forces of the young Marquis of Ormond who unfortunately fell a victim to Cromwell's Army at the west gate of Wexford as he was coming to the relief of Col. David Sinnott. He was fighting bravely, expecting reinforcements but was disappointed in the death of his relative whose troops retreated and left Col. David Sinnott to lament the loss of his property with the lives and property of many of his countrymen and two of his brothers.
The sword and breastplate of this Col. David Sinnott are still carefully preserved by Mark Seaton Synnott of Ballymoyer, Co. Armagh, Ireland.In the Hon. Phillip Herbert Hore's "History of Wexford Town", is given a portrait of Col. David Sinnott and of the armor which he wore at the storming of Wexford.
It is at this point in the history of the Sinnott family that we find the reason why it has been impossible to directly trace to his ancestors at Ballybrennan or Rosegarland, the line of our ancestor Michael Sinnett of Harpswell, Maine. But this search will be diligently continued."
the story continues on with a letter from Walter Sinnott, Esq. of Orristown, Kllinick, Co. Wexford, Ireland.
"I can find no trace of your Sinnett line in Wexford. It would be impossible to trace that line for the family took a leading part in opposing Cromwell in Wexford.Their lands were confiscated and given to Lord Monk.The Sinnetts were widely scattered and many of them left homeless.I live near Ballybrennan, one of the ancient seats of the Sinnott family, and there is nothing to be seen or any tablets or memorial stones which these Sinnetts erected before the time of Cromwell, or for long years afterwards.Cromwell was determined that every trace of the family should be swept from the earth. The penal laws followed this victory and the Sinnett family remained in great obscurity as no Catholic could be educated in Ireland, he must remain ignorant unless he had the means of going to the continent for study.There was only one Sinnett family whose history differs from the rest. The widow of the brave Col. David Sinnott who had defended Wexford, married one of Cromwell's officers and turned Protestant, as also did her son David Sinnott.From this young David are descended the Synnotts of Armagh.Some of these have prospered much.In some instances they spell their name Synnott."
another letter from the Hon. Philip Hore of London, England wrote to Rev. Sinnett saying, " There were at least ten Synnott families with large estates in Co. Wexford before Cromwell came.In the confiscation of property which followed, they lost all their lands and records.In many cases former proprietors became tenants of the Cromwellians.The name is now usually spelled Sinnott and Synnott and though their ancestors were so cruelly persecuted, there are thousands of them in Co. Wexford.I have most voluminous records of many branches of the Sinnott families which were collected by my father the late Herbert F. Hore of Pole-Hore, Co. Wexford, Ire., but I regret to say that I can find in these no way of tracing the acestry of your Michael Sinnett of Maine. Cromwell's destruction of such evidence was complete."
another letter he received was from Mr. Nicholas Synnott who was of Furness, Co. Kildare the Naas, and a collector of old papers and pedigress, and member of the Royal Society of Antiquarians, wrote in 1906,
"I cannot help you much in tracing the ancestry of your Michael Sinnett of Maine.Cromwell's soldiers absolutely destroyed the public records and in a large measure, the private records.There was no registration of births, marriages or deaths etc. until quite a recent time."
From another letter he received in 1900 one Ellie T. Sinnott wrote that her Great Grandfather Stephen Sinnett came from Lachan about six miles from Wexford on the left bank of the Slaney. She goes on to say that she never forgets the stories that her Father used to tell them when she was a child. She tells one of his stories this way,
"When Cromwell came to Wexford the family lived in a place called Ballytramond Castle, about two miles from the town of Wexford on the left bank of the Slaney. The head of this family was shot dead while going across the river to his home.Two of his sons were taken prisoners and banished." She goes on to say that her father was an only child, but that she had a brother named Stephen.She says that Stephen and John were popular names given the sons after her grt. grandfather came to Glandaff. Kilmollock is the burying place of the Sinnett's in Lachan.
She says there are very ancients Sinnotts buried there. She goes on to say that the Sinnott's were Roman Catholics back then and that they still are."
In another excerpt from this in regards to the Coat of Arms for the name Sinnott, the Hon. Philip Herbert Hore of London, England writes, " I have the old coat of arms showing the arms to be three cygnets (swans)sable, in pale on a field of argent. This came to me from my grandfather's grandfather. The name and crest, the cygnet are no doubt connected, but I have never been able to trace the name to France, surnames only came into use in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Walter Sinnott, Esq. of Orristown, Ireland sent a very ancient copy of the coat of arms with the motto "Trust in God and Sin Not
I thought this also might be of interest to some.
The following comes from Rev. Charles N. Sinnett's *Sinnett* genealogy done in 1910 and there are no copyright marks on this copy that I have and I don't belive it was ever properly published.

I hope this lengthy history of the Sinnott/Synnott/Sinnett family will be of some help to those researching their very ancient name. Through the use of y-dna testing, I have traced my roots back to the Wexford area, and deep down inside, I know that I am somehow tied into one of these families. There has been a tough go of it moving backwards from my great-grandfather, David John Sinnott, from his life in Newfoundland. I first started my search for my great-grandfather in 1991, on the 100th anniversary of his son's birth, my grandfather, John James Sinnott. Small strides have been made, and with the help of many great people from around the world also keeping out an eye for my work, I am confident we will all be successful in the end.
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
