William Woolby Kinchen, Sr.

Notes

From Elizabeth 4 Ruffin family

It was long thought that William Kinchen married Elizabeth RUFFIN. John Boddie states this in his Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County pg 230-32.

However, we now believe that Elizabeth RUFFIN married MATTHEW Kinchen the son of William and Elizabeth ? (perhaps Joyner).
