This page includes sketches I have compiled from my family history research for my own use. I am posting them on the Internet in the interest of sharing this information with interested parties. If you appear to be directly related, based on the information in the the sketches, or have comments to share with me about these sketches, I would be happy to hear from you. I do not do research for others, nor am I particularly interested in speculative relationships or unrelated surname discussions. There are many other worthy sites for these activities. I hope you enjoy reading some of these interesting stories.

Opening Comments

Presented here are a series of vignettes based on the best information available to date. New information becomes available regularly which will change the analysis and the outcome, of course. If you have reason to believe you have such additional information that would prove useful in achieving a closer resemblance to the truth, we would love to hear from you.

Background Remarks

Introduction

The following narrative briefly recounts the background and current status of the earliest days of the Kinnicks in America as we know it today (14 Mar 1998). Each month seems to bring new revelations and questions, but few clarifications or answers. We are now up to possibly four Williams and three Johns living at the time of the War of the Revolution plus more earlier and later that may be the same or different. We must exercise both patience and diligence in our continued search for true relationships among family members and others as we move forward on the voyage of discovery.

Background

As reported in Progress Report No. 1, Nettie Edna Kinnick Waggener, in 1953, published "The Kinnick Family: A Genealogical History of the Kinnick Family of America," [4] commonly called "The Kinnick Genealogy." It purported to represent the Kinnick family in the United States from the first known, at that time, Kinnick to be recorded in America. She reported that "first known Kinnick" to be William Kennick who was listed in Bryantown Hundreds, Charles County, MD, in the census of 1775-1778 of Maryland. Revolutionary War era records were also reported including William Kennick, as a Sgt. Major, a William Kennick, Jr., and John Kennick during the 1775-1780 period. Her researcher in Maryland found several other Kinnick or Kennick names in records there during the 1775-1851 period.

Based on an estate administration of a William Kinnick in 1786/87, she listed the children of William, and his wife, Sarah, as Elizabeth, Ann, Milly, Richard and John. She also concluded, based on her analysis of her research, that this John was the John that married Ann and moved to North Carolina in 1795, her ancesters. It now appears that this relationship was incorrect. Her John's father was Jasper, not William, it appears, based on a more detailed examination of the same real estate records that she had available.

While much of her writing was accurate, based on information available to her at the time, the number of omissions and errors does continues to grow as time passes. It appears that, often, she probed until she found the answer she wanted, then stopped and went on to something else. We are each prone to this problem, from time to time. A good reminder.

We are now in the mid-to-late 1990s. Many scholarly studies have been published in the past 40-45 years regarding, among other things, for instance, arrivals in the United States from the European continent. For example, I did a brief review, in July 1995, of a dozen of these lists. In about two hours, I found three other Kinnicks who had arrived before the "first one" reported in "The Kinnick Genealogy." From my notes:

Note: There is no indication, to date, that any of these are part of the family; only future research will tell.

What will be the next finding? Maybe you will make it. Please let us know. Every little tidbit of information on Kennick or Kinnick, especially in Maryland in the 1700s, will be important. Let us know what you find!

Likely Relatives

I suggest that the following is likely:

A William Kennick and a Jasper Kennick are listed, each as a private, in the Muster Book on board "His Majesty's Ship Windsor" as being discharged, apparently, in 31 May 1741, in Jersey. There is an indication these were Maryland troops, recruited to fight in the War of Jenkin's Ear, between Great Britain and Spain. We continue to seek additional information about these men.

In Volume 3, Early Families of Southern Maryland, there is a listing of a William Kennett/Kennick, b. ca 1718, son of Elizabeth Brightwell and Jasper Kennett. In Jun 1733, at the death of his parents, at age 15, William Kennick "chooses" John Brightwell, a brother of Elizabeth, as his guardian to age 21. [1] (This was found in a Brightwell family history section of the volume. There is no further Kinnick reference.)

My speculation is that at age 21, in 1739, this William may have joined the army and was the William discharged in 1741, above. It could be a different William, entirely, of course. Carrying out this theory, however, this William would have had military experience when called up in the War of the Revolution as a Sergent, then Sergent Major in 1777. He would have been 59 in the year 1777. Is that too old? Further, however, if this is the same William, he did die in 1785, per the inventory in the estate Administration records. If this were all the same person, he would have been 66 years old. Not an unusual age to die at the time.

Possible Scenario One

Following is one possible scenario (the one I like - Bill):

A. Elizabeth BRIGHTWELL [1] (b. ca 1693, age 18 in 1711, age 25 in 1718, age 40 in 1733) m. Jasper KENNETT by 1718, est. 1710; d. 1733 leaving underage son, "William KENNETT/KENNICK, b. ca 1718 [1]." {Jasper was dealer of tobacco to the Indians. "Kinnikinnick" was a tobaccolike preparation made from dried leaves or bark of various plants and used for smoking, especially by American Indians [9]. It is possible Jasper became known as the "Kinnick" man, and, subsequently changed his name, and that of his son to "Kinnick."}

Children of Elizabeth and Jasper, probably others:

B. i [*] Jasper KENNICK, b. ca 1711, age 22 in 1733; to War of Jenkin's Ear in 1741/42, age 30/31, was surety on a bond in St. Mary's Co., MD, 1767 [2]. (may be son of Jasper by prior marriage)

B. ii [*] Joseph KENNICK, b. ca 1712, witness of land record in 1752, age 40 [3]; next of kin in 1785 [4], age 73. (may be son of Jasper by prior marriage)

B. iii William KENNETT/KINNICK, [**] b ca 1718, d. 1785, age 67. (Believed to be the William Kinnick of the Administraion papers.)


Again, this is speculation based on what is known to date. New information will change this viewpoint, or confirm it.
Your comments and insights are sought.

Possible Scenario Two

An Alternative View, Possible Scenerio Two:

Another researcher [2] has suggested that John, William, Joseph and Jasper (the father of John who married Ann) were brothers, possibly sons of either the Jasper or William in the War of Jenkin's ear:

B. Jasper KENNICK [1]

Children of Jasper and ?? KENNICK, possibly others:

C. i John KINNICK (b. 1754-57; d. Aug 1833, NC) m. Ann ??.

C. ii William KINNICK, m. Sarah

C. iii Joseph KINNICK

C. iv Jasper KINNICK


C. i John KINNICK (b. 1754-57; d. Aug 1833, NC) m. Ann ??. Purchased land in MD, 31 Jan 1775, "this deed clearly states John Kinnick is the s/o Jasper Kinnick [2];" took Oath in 1775; sold land in MD in 1795; purchased land in NC in 1795.

We do not have any way to confirm or deny either theory at this point. Therefore, I have not included either of these options in the sketches that follow. It is assumed that Jasper is the father of the John who married Ann, and, assumes that William and Sarah were the parents of the John who married Mary, my ancestors. This does fit with census data from 1790 forward. We continue to seek factual information on these relationships along with the other unconnected references available and to be found subsequently.

Your comments and insights are sought.

Other Kinnicks

These are some other names mentioned in Maryland, who knows what the relationships may be:

B. [*] Joseph KENNICK, (b. ca 1712, m. ??)

Children of Joseph and ?? [*]:

C. i Richard KINNICK, b. ca 1750, served in Rev War, 1775 [4]
C. ii Jonathan KINNICK, b. ca 1755, served in Rev War, 1775 [4]

C. iv Patrick KINNICK, b. ca 1765, per 1810 census, married, 2 male children under 10.


We do have some preliminary information on Kinnick families who have come from the European continent since 1850. None of that is yet confirmed, independently. We look forward to that additional information.
