Notes

  • In the 1910 census, John is reported in the census just as Kiner, age 10 mos.

    1910 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 20 April, Prairie Township, District 13, page 3A, Hse/Fam #36

    In the 1920 census, he is John with the middle initial of T, but his middle initial in 1930 is K, matching the name Kiner in 1910.  The T in 1920 appears to be simply an error.
