I believe the previous info on the Kinard family is quite correct in that the Georgia Kinard's originated in Newberry, South Carolina. One such family line that I know of for sure is that of Daniel Kinard and Molcey Price who came from South Carolina. One of their grandsons, Rion Fryer Kinard was born in Lowndes County, Georgia and settled with his wife Martha Elizabeth Sumner, in Irwin County where they had a large family. I am including a link to a great resource on Newberry, South Carolina German families including Kinards. http://www.dutchforkchapter.homestead.com/index.html

They have a message board and maybe someone will have an answer for you. Mary Beth Marchant
