Numbering System

I borrowed the numbering system used by 
Mildred Kinsey Adams in her book "Kinsey Klan" .
Elijah Kinsey is designated by E. Elijah’s children 
are designated Ex, where x is their birth order.
The next generation is designated Exy, 
where x is their parents birth order and y is their 
birth order.
This system of numbering continues as 
subsequent generations are added. 
NOTE the designation EL is for the descendants
of Elisha Kinsey.


Kinsey Ancestry

The earliest proven ancestor of my family that my 
father, Kenneth Ray Kinsey, EL3251, was able to 
trace was Elisha Kinsey, EL, born in 1801 in Georgia.
Mrs. Mildred Kinsey Adams, E517, contacted my 
father in 1978 concerning an Elijah Kinsey, E, born 
in 1801 in South Carolina. Mrs. Adams researched 
the history of Georgia and found out that both Elisha 
and Elijah may Have been born in South Carolina and
that the area of South Carolina they were born in 
became part of Georgia as the border was not set until 
1802. It is our belief that Elisha and Elijah were twin 
brothers born to Benjamin Kinsey born in 1777 and his 
wife, Martha born in 1783. Benjamin and Martha lived 
in Hall County, Georgia in 1800. Martha was a widow 
who had been allotted land, and it is our belief that 
Benjamin died before the twins were born in 1801.

The information of the family of Elisha Kinsey, EL, 
was contained in a family Bible that belonged to my 
father’s, Kenneth Ray Kinsey, EL3251, family and 
was copied from a family Bible that belonged to Elisha 
Kinsey’s, EL, family. Elisha’s Bible was left to his son, 
Benjamin Kinsey, EL3, then was left to his son Robert
Brownlow Kinsey, EL32, my Great Grandfather. Robert 
Brownlow Kinsey then left the family Bible to his son, 
Marion Francis Kinsey, EL321, and he copied the record 
and sent it to other members of the family. Armed with 
this information we have good reasons to believe that 
Benjamin and Martha are our ancestors, the parents of 
Elisha and Elijah. We do know that Martha traveled from 
Georgia to Arkansas with the family of Elisha between 
1854 and 1858. We know that she lived, died and was 
buried in Montgomery County, Arkansas, but we are not 
sure where or when.

The information on Elisha Kinsey’s family was researched 
by Kenneth Ray Kinsey and has been printed in 
"The Record" a 1975 publication of the Garland County,
(Arkansas) Historical society and in the "Kinsey Klan" by
Mildred Kinsey Adams.

The Information of the family of Elijah Kinsey, E, was
contained in the book "Kinsey Klan" by Mildred Kinsey
Adams, E517. The information contained in her book was 
researched by her and is backed up by census records 
and other sources.

It is my intention to update these records and publish 
them in notebook form, computer database form and on 
my website; 
https://members.tripod.com/~timkinsey/index.html .
I hope these records will be of use to future generations 
of Kinseys.

Sincerely,
Timothy Alan Kinsey, EL32514
