General Notes: Husband - Robert Kinnear


He and his wife came to America about 1788 and settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania. They moved to Venango County in 1819.

He and his wife immigrated to eastern Pennsylvania and afterward to the north part of Venango County early in the nineteenth century. After a few years they removed to Franklin, where Mr. Kinnear filled the position of jailor fifteen years. For several years preceding his death Mr. Kinnear kept the lock on the French Creek canal, at the big dam, about one mile above Franklin. Both he and wife were ardent Methodists and died in that faith at a ripe old age. Their last years were spent at a place, later known as the Echols farm, and formerly the property of William C. McCormick, the father of Mrs. E. W. Echols, of Franklin, and grandson of Mr. Kinnear. [HVC 1890, 764]
