Descendants of John Kingsley + Nancy Thompson?



Hello,

I have a copy of an old genealogy list my grandmother made. The information is limited, with few dates or places, but I'm hoping someone out there can help me fill in the details, or find additional links. Anybody????

Also, if you're related to this line, I have scanned photos of John Kingsley, Nellie Kingsley, and Wilbur Young that I could forward to you.

My grandfather once told me that John Kingsley was a sailor on a whaling ship in the North Pacific. I don't know if that's true, but the photo I have of him shows him looking very dashing in what appears to be a sailor's outfit. On his hat, part of a word is visible: "Color-" Perhaps the name of his ship? Or his military unit? Or???

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!!!

The first August Kinkel entered here was born in Germany, married in Germany and died in Germany.

The second August Kinkel was born in Falkenberg, Germany, married Caroline Schroeder from Mecklenburg, Germany, had I believe 3-4 children in Germany before immigrating to the United States in 1854. He came here alone and wife and children immigrated afterward at a later late. Upon arriving in USA, from New York traveled to Watertown, Wisconsin, and then on to LeSueur, Minnesota, they had nine children in all.

Will add more later.
