Biography

James Grandsire Pinnick. [1] was born 4 Jan 1747 - believed to be in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. His father was John Pinnick but no dates are known for him.

"Tradition says that James Pinnick and his brother William were born near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Quaker parents, that they fought in the American Revolution, that they were disowned by the family and went to North Carolina. They were found in Rowan County, North Carolina after the war. Some sources say that James married there and had a wife and child(ren) who died. Both brothers then went to Kentucky and James married Elizabeth Farris (possibly Farris-563?) on Jan. 4, 1782 in Lincoln County Kentucky.

Pinnick-46 and Pinnick-42 appear to represent the same person because: Same find a grave on both profiles. Father is Isaac on familysearch too. Just merge and mark father Isaac as uncertain and discuss John in the profile.

Pinnick-46 and Pinnick-42 do not represent the same person because: Pinnick-46 lists father as Isaac Pinnick on the profile. Pinnick-42 lists father as John Pinnick in the Bio. More research on the father is recommended before completing the merge.

McKaughan-15 Lara (McKaughan) Boles
Pinnick-46 and Pinnick-42 appear to represent the same person because: same birth and death date. I will remove the parents from Pinnick-42 they were born after Grandshire's death so they are incorrect.
