I am researching the Kinsey family who came from GA to Bell Co., TX in 1872. Francis Marion (Frank) Kinsey and his wife Fannie (Dixon) came to Bell Co. in 1872 bringing with them Frank's brothers; Lucius Lafayette and Thomas Jesse and there children; Virginia, Minnie, Rollin H., and John Washington. The children born in Bell Co. are James A. born Nov. 24, 1872, Luther born 1874, Thomas born 1876 and Henry born 1878. Francis Marion's death was in the Heidenheimer Hummings : Mr. Frank Kinsey was instantly killed Tuesday, Dec. 7th, 1903, 8 miles south of his place near Mr. Dick Jones. His team became frightened at the northbound passenger train causing the team to run into a telephone post and throwing him out, breaking his neck and shoulder. Kinsey is a well know farmer, one of Bell County's first settlers. My great great grandfather was Lucius who came with Francis, he was married to Georgia A. Arkansas Dodgen on 11 Dec 1884 in Bell Co. My great grandfather James Welcome Kinsey was born in Bell Co. 12 Mar 1887. I am in the process of verifying the information that I have and compiling any information on these families. If anyone has any information, please let me know. I live in Tolar, Hood Co. TX and am planning a trip to Bell Co. soon. Thanks Dana
