Surnames: Kinard, Wilson
I am searching for historical or geneological information about my great-grandfather, Henry Kinard Wilson, who was from Greenville, or Greenwood. Family stories say his mother was a Choctaw Indian named Mutt and his father the son of a Judge in that area. Anybody got any clues??

H.K. Wilson was colored, as they said then.

To add -

account of the life of General Henry Harrison Kinard here:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22431359/henry-harrison-kinard

In fact, there's a lot about the Kinard family witih a Google search.

According to this link below, the family originated in Germany.

Thank you all for the information.

Quite a few Kinards had slaves. This one may fit but it is totally conjecture.

This is Solomon Peter Kinard. As you see, he had 1 black 8 year old slave in 1850. By 1860 she appears to have had a son, described as mulatto. There is a slave owner called J Wilson on the same schedule.
