It could also have been my ggrandfather's brother John Kinser b 1819. The younger John Kinser lived in Madisonville, TN, where my dad's Kinser line originated. The elder John W. Kinser also died there, so it is difficult to say which one it is. My line was decidely CSA. As a matter of fact, John W. Kinser b 1793 VA had grandson, my grandfather, named Jefferson Davis Kinser who was b in 1862 TN. On the other hand, John W. Kinser had son Francis Marion Kinser (father of Jefferson Davis Kinser) who m Polly Harmon, part of the Harmon family who were hanged for the Union cause after the Lick Creek Bridge hangings.
