Kinchen Killebrew and a Cast of Many

We found genealogical information regarding the KILLEBREW's.  Giving the information a quick look I can see a few connections between the KILLEBREW's and the MORAN family.     HENDERSON, KENNEDY, IRVINE, HART and BONDURANT are surnames that appear as leaves on the MORAN family tree. There are probably others that I'm not aware of.

I also noticed that James KILLEBREW married Nancy FRIZELL.  In the 1848 Ledger Book of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Dresden Tennessee there is a Thomas B. FRIZELL listed in the entry section below William LANDRUM's information. Are Nancy and Thomas related?

Please remember the following information was not compiled by us.  Take the information with a grain of salt and if you incorporate it into your own genealogy, you will probably want to verify it's accuracy.

                             m: Thomas LeRoy KILLEBREW

I have found a Kinchen KILLEBREW living in the edge of Henry County; later he appeared to have moved over into Weakley County.  I believe he is Kinchen, Jr.; a son of the Revolutionary soldier, Kinchen KILLEBREW, whose two daughters married the two KENNEDY brothers, Sampson and Nelson.  I do not know who this Kinchen, Jr., married but his Will is in the Dresden Court House, dated 1824, in which he mentions his children, Malinda, Levi and Elias.  The 1850 Census of Henry co. gives the date of birth for Levi 1803, and Levi's wife, Kittura, born 1808.  The Will of Elias is dated 1835 and he mentions his wife, Matilda, but does not list his children.  Do not confuse this Kinchen KILLEBREW with the son of James KILLEBREW by the same name.  He married Louisa BUCKLEY and after her death married the Widow PENTECOST who was Susan KENNEDY.
