Excerpt from The Kinnears and Their Kin: A Memorial Volume of History, Biography, and Genealogy, With Revolutionary and Civil and Spanish War Records; Including Manuscript of Rev. David Kinnear (1840) In sending out this book, I feel that many apologies are due the prospective readers for the incompleteness of the record and for any errors in names and dates that may be found, it being impossible to make a complete and connect ed history from the material available. I have bound together as best I could, the semblance of a genealogical record trusting that some enterprising scion of the family will fill out and complete what I consider as only the ground work of a History of the Kinnear, Simpson and other families here recorded.
