Lorin8 J. Kingsley (Seth7 - Calvin6 - Nathan5 - Samuel4 - Samuel3 - Samuel2 - Stephen1)

Father: Kingsley, Seth
Mother: Converse, Polly Mary

Lorin appears to have been prolific. Barbara Kingsley's notes indicate that he had 15 children between his two wives and I have accounted for 12. Of the twelve nine are born in New York and the other three in Indiana and from this it appears that he moved to Springfield, Indiana around 1855. His second wife Hannah Elizabeth Cronkite is found after his death on the 1880 federal census for Kendallville Indiana with the two youngest children, Kate and Charles.
