The Alonzo Kinnick Family In Iowa
1870 to the present
(with brief background)
Our family loves to explore our family history including all of its extensions.
This page begins the KINNICK family (constantly under construction, just as
our family is). We seek your input and comments on any and all we present at:
Walter
W. KINNICK, the only adult son with a family (known to date) of John and
Mary KINNICK, was born in Charles Co, Maryland, in 1809. He was my 3rd great-grandfather.
My name is William L. SMITH, and I am pleased to share my research into the
family history along with that of many others. My mother is Eileen KINNICK SMITH
OLSON.
Eileen KINNICK is the daughter of Paul
Harold KINNICK. Her grandfather was Alonzo Palmer
KINNICK, her great-grandfather was Walter Watson
KINNICK, and her 2nd great-grandfather was Walter
W. KINNICK. Walter Watson was born in Belmont Co, Ohio, in 1840, and served
in the Civil War from Bureau Co, Illinois. Alonzo Palmer was born in Adair Co,
Iowa, in 1870. Paul Harold was born in Adair Co, Iowa, in 1892, and married
Dorothy Christine SORENSEN,
in 1914, in Adair Co, Iowa. Eileen was born in Coon Rapids, Carroll Co, Iowa,
in 1918, and married Leverne SMITH
there in 1938. Their first son, William, was born there in 1939.

Everett Lyman BRIDESON, Kinnick Farm, Coon Rapids, Carroll Co, IA
In letter from Jeannett Brideson Shapley, dated
8/26/95: (we visited) "about 50 miles from Raton, NM, where my Dad,
Everett Brideson lived about 1901 and 1902. The move was to help the
asthma of his father John William Brideson but they moved back to
Iowa after a brief go at it. All missed Iowa too much. Lottie
Manville Chapman (sister of my Grandma Nell Manville Brideson) had
persuaded them to join their household in New Mexico and my father (a
little boy) remembered the train ride & his tricycle and the huge
shot gun held by the large sombrero topped Mexican hired man that his
uncle Will Chapman was telling the Mexican to put his gun down that
relatives were arriving."
Further, on 10/12/95, from San Luis Obispo: "I
retired in Jan 1990 as Records Clerk in the registrar's Office of
Cuesta College after working there 10 years and Dick retired from
Music Teaching in the Public Schools in the County June 1991 after 35
years of teaching."
