Henrietta Fenner was the daughter of Henry Fenner and Elizabeth Wood. She had a brother, Jesse Fenner, and a sister, Sophia Fenner. As you mention, Sophia married Samuel Sinnock (my gggg greatuncle). Samuel had a brother, Charles Sinnock who married Jane Harris. They had two daughters, Emma and Ellen. The Ellen Sinnock who was the informant for Henrietta's death was therefore the niece of Henrietta's sister. Henrietta was mentioned in Samuel's will which was transcribed by Carleen Foster. It is obvious that she was important to Samuel and he didn't trust his son (Henry Charles Sinnock) to treat her well.
