2. (Lee J. Smith, Ancestry.com) Thomas Wiley Kinnett was a farmer living near Cross Plains,Ripley Co., IN. He had grey eyes and brown hair and stood 5'11 1/4".
He first enlisted [Civil War] 18 Sept 1861 at Camp Dearborn as a private in Company C of the 37th Indiana Infantry. He seems to have served as a waiter in army hospitals but was also reported sick. In May 1862 he was sent to Huntsville, being sick in the hospital from 31 December 1861 to May 1862. In June 1862 he was in Nashville. In January 1863 he was at hospital #6 Mufeesboro, TN. He was detached with a supply train 14 October 1863. Wiley, as he evidently called himself, re-enlisted 13 February 1864 and was mustered in 4 march 1864 near Chattanooga. He was slightly wounded at the battle of Punkinvine Creek on 27 May 1864 and sent to the hospital. He was mustered out of the army 24 July 1865 in Louisville and retained his rifle for $6.00. I have copies of these military records.
3. Thomas may have lived in Brown Township, Riplty County in 1860
In my opinion Thomas and Mary Jane are probably buried either in Cross Plains Baptist Cemetery in Riply County or is Hastie Cemetery,Markland, In, Switzerland County.

Classification: Query Surnames: Kinnett
There are some Kinnetts from the Taylorville, IL area, but they ran long on girls so the name is dying out. My grandfather, John William Kinnett; his father, Alfred D. Kinnett; his grandfather, William Albert Kinnett"Kinnett all lived and died in Taylorville even though every one was born in Indiana State Board turn off lin
I'm just starting my Kinnett research and have info on the generations mentioned above. After that it gets sketchy. I know William Albert's parents were Thomas Wiley Kinnett and Mary Jane Dennis. Thomas Wiley's parents were Thomas W. Kinnett and Nancy Bassett. Any info would be appreciated.
