Nora, Your posting definitely caught my attention. My WILLOUGHBY (Wilby) HARVEY (Harvy) was born ca 1806 in NC. On October 18, 1830, he married MARGARET J. PARKER in Washington Co TN and they lived in southern Washington Co TN If you are not from that area, Greene Co TN was cut from Washington Co TN in 1783. They lived just across the county line from Greene Co TN. Could our Harvey's have been cousins, if not brothers? Kinchen was a common given name in those days. There was a Kinchen Kelly who moved to Washington Co TN in late 1700's, whose daughter Mary Kelly married "Jack" Miller and had a son Kinchen Miller. The name was German meaning "young son", originally a nickname for the youngest son, but apparently became a given name in the British Colonies. I am just beginning my research of my Harvey ancestors and have not spent much time pursuing this family, in comparison to my other families. I'd definitely be interested in sharing... John A.
