This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Kinnamon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACE/18.495.505 Message Board Post: I recently discovered that the father of my John Kinnamon was George Kinnamon (99.9% sure). John is buried at Farley Cemetery, Platte Co., Mo. The cemetery listing shows that the Kinnamons to whom you refer, Emily Ann Kinnamon and Myrtle May Kinnamon, are also buried in this (small) cemetery. This can't be a coincidence! If your dad had said their brother was John, instead of Don, I think we would have a pretty could lock on this. Any chance you can identify Don's wife? Have you found George on a census anywhere, or do you have birth/death dates for him?
