Wife of Cornelius Kincheloe

Disproved relationships

The name of the wife of Cornelius ‘the immigrant’ Kincheloe is not known. She’s represented here on Geni as Wife of Cornelius Kincheloe. He did not marry Shadrack Williams (who was a man), his fictitious sister Shadrach "Joanne" (Williams) Kincheloe, Jane Kincheloe, or Anne Thornton Deborde.

His only known child was John Kincheloe, Sr., who married Elizabeth Canterbury.

Family

V. CHILD(REN) OF CORNELIUS KINCHELOE

The children of a combined Cornelius Kincheloe would be listed on Geni as John Kincheloe, Cornelius Kincheloe, Jr., Arthur Kincheloe., and Peter Kincheloe.

As noted in the 1722 and 1724 deeds above, John Kincheloe is a proven son of Cornelius Kincheloe:

“unto Cornelius Kenchilo, Father unto aforesd. John, by who's decease the same became the proper inheritance in fee simple” (source: Richmond County Virginia Deed Book 8, pp. 247-248).

There does not appear to be any evidence for an Arthur Kincheloe. Similarly, there is no evidence for a Cornelius Kincheloe Jr., son of Cornelius. John Kincheloe’s eldest son was named Cornelius Kincheloe. The North Farnham Parish records note his christening on 8 October 1721 (source: The Registers of North Farnham Parish, 1663 – 1814, digital images on FamilySearch.org Film # 007897249, p. 94, (http://www.familysearch.org : accessed 22 February 2024). With some original confusion about dates, some people incorrectly attributed early records of this Cornelius son of John, as a Cornelius Jr. But this Cornelius was the grandson of the original Cornelius, not the son.

Peter Kinslow was born roughly 1734 according to Geni as well as several census records. Given that Cornelius Kincheloe was proven to have died before 1722, it would have been extremely difficult for him to have risen from the dead and had a child decades later. While this is not the case on Geni, other online family trees incorrectly place Peter Kinchelow as a son of a mythical Cornelius Jr. This appears to be an attempt to link Peter’s descendants back to the “older” line. However, comparison of the y-DNA shows that this is a different family entirely and that the Peter / Conrad Kinchlow families probably descend from a German family originally called Kunzle.
