 1769 - 1822 (~ 53 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. | Frederick M. Kinney was born in Apr 1769 in Moorestown, New Jersey; died on 14 Nov 1822. Notes:
The Snover information lists Frederick as being born in April 1767 in Walnut Valley, Knowlton, Warren, NJ. The Snover information is probably the correct version.
"Copied from notes of James Edgar Smith" - "The Kinney family originated in Holland and on coming to America settled at or near Stroudsburg, Pa. Have little knowledge of their history."
"Penna. German Marriages" compiled by Donna R. Irish, Gen Pub. Co. 1982 p.40 - Children baptized at Six Mile Run on the Raritaens. Parents Pieter Kinne & Eytye (Ida) Williamse, ch. Lenae bp 8 Apr 1711 at Six Mile Run. There are several other
Kinnes listed. These must be Dutch Kinneys and I don't think are connected (lp)

| 42. | James Edgar Smith (38.Isaac3, 12.Catharine2, 1.Frederick1) was born on 22 Aug 1859; died on 9 Sep 1952; was buried in Berwick, Columbia, PA. Notes:
Birth & Death: Roscoe Smith notes (his son). He attended the local Stephensburg school and then a business school at Easton, Pa. He was then employed by his uncle, Daniel Vanatta, husband of Letitia (Letty) Beatty, later becoming a partner. In
1887 James E. Smith sold the Stephensburg business to William Miller and he and his brother Willard (my grandfather) purchased the general store business of Freas Brothers in the Jackson Building on the northwest corner of Front and Market
Streets in Berwick, Pa., which they together operated as Smith Brothers for the next thirty years. (See photo on den wall.) Two additional sons were born to James and Hattie; James Howard (19 May 1987) who married Gertrude Blunt; and Arthur
Matthias (7 April 1893) who married Meta Shobert. Willard married Louise Petty, sister of Hattie, and to them was born one son, Clarence Willard who married Laura Wilde.
James Edgar Smith was a very active person, a devout member of the First Presbyterian Church, Berwick, a trustee at time of building a new church at Second and Vine Streets, later sold to the Reformed Congregation when the Market Street church
was built, shortly thereafter becoming a lifetime elder and in 1943 received a testimonial spread on the Minutes of the Session for having served continuously as such for fifty years. At the time of his death he was the oldest living Past
Master of Knapp Lodge No. 462, F. & A.M. which he had also served for more than twenty years as Secretary. At the time of his death he was Senior Vice President and only surviving member of the first board of directors of the Berwick Bank. He
was also at that time senior member of the board of directors of the Berwick Building & Loan Association, and also of the Pine Grove Cemetery Association. He served on Berwick Borough Council and for many years was President of Berwick Board
of School Directors. He owned and/or controlled, not as an agent nor ever too many at one time, a number of rental properties, helped to organize and for a period operated the Berwick Shirt Manufacturing Company, and later the Berwick Match
Company. He also had a controlling interest in the Valley Hard Vein (roofing) Slate Company with quarry at Edlemans, Pa. which ceased operation at time of World War I as a non-essential industry and never again successfully operated on account
of higher freight rates and the development of less expensive light weight roofing. He was ambitious and active until death; collapsed while mowing the lawn the afternoon of the day before his end. (Age 93)
James married Hattie Petty on 1 Jan 1884 in Briar Creek Twp, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

| 43. | Florence_(Flora) Smith (38.Isaac3, 12.Catharine2, 1.Frederick1) was born in Aug 1861. Notes:
FLORA SMITH never married. In her younger days she assisted her brothers in the operation of a general store in Berwick, Pa. (See photo on wall in den.) Before the death of her father she returned home to help care for him and to assist in
the raising of her sister Bertha's two daughters. After the death of her mother she lived with her niece, Elizabeth Evans Latham, to assist in the care of her sister Bertha who died first and to help raise Kathy, daughter of Marie Evans Finn.
Flora and Bertha are buried in Hackettstown, N.J. cemetery. Flora lived with James and Hattie many years and had a tremendous influence in the upbringing of Roscoe, Howard and Arthur, all to the good. (Roscoe Smith notes)

DEATH COMES TO WILLARD SMITH Former Merchant and Widely Known Man Dies at Age of 72 Years. - Ill since December.
Willard Smith, former business man and member of the firm of Smith Brothers, for thirty years a Berwick landmark, died yesterday afternoon at 5:15 at his home at 215 West Second street. Mr. Smith had been ill since early in December and a
complication of diseases was given as the cause of death. His age was 72 years, eight months and eight days. Mr. Smith, a son of Isaac Snover Smith and Elizabeth Beatty Smith, was born at Stephensburg, New Jersey. After completing school there,
he served as a clerk in Hackettstown, N.J., and then went with his brother, James Smith, who was conducting a store at Stephensburg, N.J. After three years, the store was sold and James Smith and Willard Smith came to Berwick, March 15, 1887,
Willard Smith taking a third interest of the firm of Smith Brothers. The store was located for years in the Jackson block at the present location of Rea and Derick. For the past sixteen years, and until his recent illness, Mr. Smith had been in
the employ of the Berwick Store Company. Mr. Smith was one of the few remaining charter members of Susquehanna Commandery No. 18 Knights of Malta, and was for forty years a member of Knapp Lodge No. 462, Free and Accepted Mason, also the
kindred Masonic bodies Scottish Rite, 32nd degree at Bloomsburg. He was a descendant by both parents of early Presbyterian settlers in northern New Jersey. He became a member of the church in early life and transferred his membership to First
Presbyterian church when he came to Berwick, and was a faithful and consistent member. He served for a number of years on the board of trustees of the church. Surviving are his wife, one son, Clarence Willard Smith, of Lansdowne, near
