Sintz, Nicholas

Died: 1836-1837

Sintz lived in Sangamon County, Illinois, as early as 1833, when he was purchasing federal land along Salt Creek in present-day Broadwell Township of Logan County. Sintz constructed a mill there, and when he was sued by property owners for damages caused by his mill to their land, Sintz retained Stuart & Lincoln to defend him. Sintz died sometime between April 1836 and December 1837, and his administrator Nicholas Moore also retained Stuart & Lincoln to settle the affairs of his estate.
