My GGG Grandfather Sims Kinman came to Pike Co sometime around 1830's Was in the Black Hawk Wars 1831 - 1832 from Atlas. Believe he came from Indiana, maybe Pke Co. Elisha B. Kinman was born in Indiana abt 1823. Sims Kinman remarried Elizabeth Bowman and had two children. In 1850 Sims Kinman listed in both Adams Co. and Pike Co., Census. Elisha being in the Adams Co Census. Elisha B. Kinman married Mrs Naamah Forrest (Forest). Believe she had two children at the time. By time Elisha enlisted in the Army in 1862 was living in Fairmount, Pike Co., and at least one of his son Henry in New Salem. George Allen Kinman married Louisa Watts or Watson Houston. Last child born in Illinois was Mary Alice in 1880 and I believe that some of the family moved to Missouri and on to Grayson Co, Texas by 1890's. Any help on the KINMAN's would be appreciated.
