Cathy's EmailThe following KINNEY will information was gleaned from the NJ Archives Will Extracts starting with the volumes for 1630 and continuing through 1800. I've included all KINNEY variations such as KINNE, KEENE, KEENEY, KENNY, etc. I've also included other surnames which might be mistaken for KINNEY or possibly evolve into Kinney such as KEEN, KINNAMAN, KINNAN but these are not fully extracted. Please check your local library for the NJ Archives Will Extracts series or write to the Archives in Trenton for more information.
