I've added a new page to Henry's web site.
The Four Basic Claims of the Family Origin of Henry "Kinne"
ca. 1624 - ca. 1710 of Salem, Massachusetts

As most of you know - the basic claims are:
(1) Henry was born about 1624 - there is evidence to support this.
(2) Henry had a knighted ancestor - there is no evidence.
(3) Henry had a connection to Norfolk, England - there is no evidence.
(4) Henry immigrated to Massachusetts via Holland - there is no evidence.
The web page discusses the possible origins of the undocumented claims - they appear to be
the result of inexperienced researchers (who may have been duped by fraudulent
researchers) who incorporated a few historical facts into tales of Henry's origin.
As always - any DOCUMENTED information is welcome.
