The Kinnick Family The history of the Kinnick family is similar to that of many other families that settled in North America during the eighteenth century. The orgin of the Kinnick family was in Holland in central Europe. Just when they came to America is not certainly known. The first Kinnick, or family of Kinnicks, whicheverthe case may be, settled in Maryland, an English colony, before the Revolutionary War. From Maryland they moved to North Carolina sometime during or soon after the American Revolution.

John Kinnick settled in Rowan County, North Carolinawhich was later divided and the part he lived in is now called Davie County. Any legal records of John will be found at Salisbury, the county seat of Rowan County. John Kinnick was the father of seven children, four sons, George, William, David, and James; and three daughters, Susan, Katherine, and Polly. All of these sons and daughters moved to Indiana except David and Polly.

Which Kinnick first came to Indiana is not certainly known but William Kinnick, son of John, came from North Carolina as a single man and was married here (Indiana) 1828 to Sally Ross, a young widow who lived near Rocklane. It is believed that he was the first one, although his nephew, Jabez Graham Kinnick made a trip back to North Carolina in 1833, and Jabez may have came to Indiana as early as a lad of sixteen. James Kinnick and his family moved to Indiana in 1831

All the first Kinnick families settledeast of Greenwood near Rocklane in the Northern part of Johnson County, Indiana. They sent word back to North Carolina of the wonderful opportunities in the new state and in the next twenty-five years nearly all of North Carolina Kinnicks moved to Indiana.The largest group came in 1851.^[2]
