The KINNICK Project has its roots in Charles Co, MD. http://www.geocities.com/coonrapidsiowa/kinnick.html Seek information on any Kinnick or Kennick reference prior to 1850, and especially prior to 1775. Also seeking to confirm or disconfirm references including Kimmick, Kenrick, Kennett for 17th and 18th Century written documents. Of the known two family branches, one moved to North Carolina in about 1792 and the other to Ohio shortly after 1820. Some family members apparently stayed behind, but few references. Seek more.
