I am searching for information about Henry KINZER, Charity and children, Benjamin,b.1836;Susannah b. 1838;Hezekiah b. 1839;Massa b. 1841; Adam b.1844; and William b.1846 in Plainfield, IN. My KINZER
family came to Richland between 1846 & 1848 from Indiana. Can someone do a lookup for certificates of membership to the Pleasant Plain Monthly Meeting (Quakers)in Richland? There isn't a bio listed but I believe the KINZEL, sec. 35 is actually KINZER.
Charity,Henry & Susannah are buried in Friends Cemetery. This is a Quaker cemetery that was deeded March 30, 1846 to the "Society of Friends in Richland" by Samuel Woodward. Adam & William were IA civil war veterans. Hezekiah, my ggrandfather, was a Colorado civil war veteran. I have been unable to find any living Kinzer relatives so far. My grandmother, Ella, dau. of Hezekiah, died in 1925 in Colorado. My father, Hugh H. Melrose, died in Normandy in June of 1944.
Thanks for your help chipping away at this block wall of mine.
