The Kinney family originated in Holland and first settled near Stroudsburg, Pa. We presently know nothing of them. John W. and Catherine Smith had one son, Isaac Snover Smith (1835-1919) and three daughters: Sarah; Catherine (Mrs. John Kist - no issue); and Rachael. Sarah and Rachael did not marry. John W. was injured early in his career as a millwright and lived quietly in Kalarama thereafter. (Roscoe Smith notes) (I bet his middle name was Wintermute. LP)
