Like many families, the Kinseys lost much of their lands, particularly in Cheshire and Shropshire, during the Reformation. Later the Kinseys were divided - some sided with the Royalists and others with the puritans. After the Civil Wars, the Royalists had their lands sequestrated and some of them were executed; others were imprisoned several times and this was the fate of John Kinsey before he went to New Jersey in America.
John b 1825; emigrated to Ohio in 1844; as he moved to California in 1849 he was a 'forty-niner'; in 1847 he married Adeliza Davis.
"John had come first to Ohio, then to Iowa. He had also spent some years in Chicago, Illinois. He later settled in Pawnee City, Nebraska, where he spent many of his active years as well as all of his retirement --- his last years. I well remember a visitthis great-uncle, John Kinsey, made to my parents in their home near Grimes. Grandpa was still living. Uncle John's daughter, Addie, accompanied him on this trip. His wife was deceased. We always thought of this uncle as being "well-to-do" as he apparentlywas." by Gladys Kinsey Stewart, Winter of 1979.
