A very dear friend of mine (who's 100 years old!) has asked me to find out a bit about her family for her. Her husband's maternal grandfather was Abram Clark KINNISON. Abram Clark KINNISON was born 25Oct1851 at Nora, JoDaviess Co. His parents were William Wilson KINNISON (10Nov1810 - 27Aug1890) and Frances "Fannie" DeHaven (c1815 - 09Aug1892). William owned personal property valued at $971 at Nora in 1855. Abram Clark KINNISON m'd Cora McBRIDE (06Nov1850 at IL - 21Jan1889 at Bedford, Taylor Co, Iowa) in 1870 (don't yet know where). Their children were Claidest (Glade), Nettie, Fannie, Edna, Hope and Dawn. The first two chn were born in Nebraska bet 1872-1875 (according to the Taylor Co, IA census of 1880). Their third child, Fanny, was born somewhere in Missouri c1877. The younger ones were all born in Bradford, Taylor Co, Iowa, bet Nov1879 - 1888. I'd love to hear from anyone who can connect with this line! Diana M Austring ~~~~~~~~~~ Waiheke Island, Aotearoa (NZ)
