| Note | Ezra Eby's Waterloo Township biographies, volume 1, page 845, tells that William Kinzie (so spelled) married Hannah Mitchell. He goes on to say that they resided in Niagara and farmed and that they had five children, but 'names not received.' That William married Hannah Mitchell appears to be correct, though their marriage appears to have been in the mid 1850s during an era that followed the use of the District marriage registers, while the County marriage registers (mostly) had yet to come into being. Hence, a record of the marriage has yet to be found. No record of the Kinsey's residing in Niagara has been found. The first census record found for the family has them in Maryborough Township of Wellington County as of the 1871 census. The 1871 and 1881 censuses do show them with five children. |
