This section contains family trees relating to various Kinsman families. In the main, these come from trees that have been researched by others and kindly copied to me - for which my thanks to each and all of them. I have tried to add to these trees wherever I have found new data that improves the detail or adds linkages. As ever, any contributions and comments are most welcome. If you have a Kinsman tree that you would like to add to the database, I'd love to have it here.
Key Individuals:
| Simon KYNESMAN | born about 1370. MP for Northamptonshire in 1420. Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1422. Held the Manor of Loddington. Died about 1450. No proven living descendants traced so far. |
| Robert KINSMAN | b1589, Highworth, Wiltshire. Married (?) Mary Sadler, emigrated from Southampton in 1634. Lived in Ipswich, MA |
| John KINSMAN | born about 1735, probably in Leicestershire or close by. His descendants lived in the Leicester area through to the mid 1800s, some migrated to Birmingham. |
| John KINSMAN | born about 1790 in Poundstock, Cornwall. This is the family tree of Andrew and Dennis Kinsman, contributed by Andrew. |
| Cornish KINSMEN | Many Kinsman families originate in Cornwall and several of these emigrated to Canada and Australia. Current work suggests that they may all have originated with the Kilkhampton families in the Poundstock tree above. This is the location for partial trees that have not yet been linked. |
| Leicestershire KINSMEN | This tree is derived initially from a study of the Kin(g)(s)man entries on the IGI for the County of Leicestershire. The links formed are of course tentative, but point to each of these Kinsman families originating from John Kinsman (born about 1735) and his wife Sarah Smith. |
| Wiltshire KINSMEN | Partial trees resulting from examination of parish registers, census records etc. originating in Wiltshire have been posted here. These may all be part of one family, certainly DNA testing has shown that the Kinsmans of Highworth share the same roots as the Kingsmans of Overton. Equally some of them may result from migration east from Cornwall and Devon where there are many earlier Kinsman families. |
| Asa KINSMAN | born about 1820 in New York, USA. Possibly descended from Robert Kinsman above, definitely related to the Kingsman family of Overton, Wiltshire as proved by DNA tracing. This is the family tree of Barry and Mary Jo Neyer, contributed by Mary Jo. |
