General Notes: Husband - Alexander Kinnear
He was born in Leitrim County, Ireland. He was tolerably wealthy, and was much respected.
He and his wife had four children that died in childhood in Ireland, and one that died in infancy on the sea. They took passage on a ship at Kellibegs, Ireland, in the year 1791, and were nine weeks and three days sailing to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They spent some time with James Kinnear, his half brother, a wholesale merchant. Then moved to Berks County, a part of which later became Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
He and his family removed from Berks County, to Centre County, Pennsylvania, in 1804, later they removed to Franklin, Venango County.
He was a member of the English Church in Ireland, and for sometime after he came to America. Nearly all this time he opposed his wife and even persecuted her for being a Wesleyan Methodist; but eventually he became a member of the M. E. Church, and continued therein a faithful Christian until his death.
