I have included below the latest info we have on the Kinvig line. I received a letter from Nigel Crowe on the Isle of Man (referred to below as the 20 May 1998 letter) giving the line of "our" Kinvigs back to before 1600. Hope this is interesting to you. Isabella is my wife's great-grandmother and the daughter of William Kinvig (b. 1812) & Isabel Cannell; the brother of William is your Richard.

The Ancestors of Isabella Kinvig - 5 Jun 1998
FIRST GENERATION of Ray Hedberg:
1. Isabella Kinvig was born on 13 Feb 1843 near Castletown, Malew, Parish, Isle of Man.
FROM A LETTER by Isabella's father William Kinvig, Balltrane, Isle of Man, to his younger brother James Kinvig, Rathray Street, Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand dated 29 June 1885:
" Isabella married to W. Killey farming in America -- own place about 260 acres - whole family came home for 5 years. She got better in health and returned to America a year ago last April".
This sentence shows the date they returned to the USA as April 1884. Oral history indicates that P.I. Killey accompanied his mother and he was about 3-4 years old or so during the boat trip home.
William & Isabella's son Thomas Humphrey died in the Isle of Man in Feb 1884 and daughter Elizabeth was present at the funeral.
Daughter Catherine Anne was born in 1882 which strongly suggests she was born in the Isle of Man.
Isabella's husband, William Killey , was in the Isle of Man for at least part of the time or alternatively the above letter stating that they stayed for 5 years may be overstated; if she and their children came to the Isle of Man in late 1881 or early 1882, and she was pregnant, then her husband William may have stayed behind in Illinois and tended to the farm.
According to her son George O. Killey's obituary he went to the Isle of Man when he was seven years old (that would have been 1881 or Jan 1882 at the latest; the obituary states he returned to the US when he was 14 (in 1888).
FROM A LETTER written by Isabella Killey (nee Kinvig) to her sister Anne Cowley (nee Kinvig) about 1915. --- "Miaimutta (probably Monmouth):
"December 1st
Dear sister - I write you these few lines hoping you are all well. Received your welcome letter and Christmas present. Was very glad to know that you are all alive and well in these great days of war and distress. I hope it will soon cease if it is the Lord's will. I got 2 papers you sent me - the names are nearly all strange to me now there, it is so long since we were there we have forgotten all. There are a great many wounded and killed in Castletown and all around there. We see plenty of War news in our papers, they get the news very fast out here. The weather is very fine out here - we have had but very little cold weather this winter, yet it has been fine weather all Fall. The roads have been so good to run on, we have all got in the car and taken a ride.
George is not so much to Venture as Phil. He has a lots of hogs and young cattle. J.W. my younger son runs his farm, he keeps 2 herdsmen, they are all big farmers, they are all well. Willie hasn't been very well this while, there is something wrong with his stomach. He has been taking medicine from the Doctor. I don't think it helps much. He has to be careful what he eats he has dyspepsia. I think he is a little better. Prices are very high here, they say on account of the War. Butter 40 cents a pound, eggs 40 cents a dozen, corn 90 cents a bushel, hogs 10 cents a pound live weight. Ada's man has gone to Chicago with a load 65 head. Phil is feeding 100 head of cattle and about 200 head of hogs. You see he is going really steep - if prices keep up he will make lots of money. He is great to go ahead, he has been doing well.
I think I have written you a big letter this tine, it is getting near Christmas. I think that scarf you sent is very nice, thank you ever so much. I sent you a dressy scarf, I hope you get it a11 right. I would have sent something to Sarah and Lizzie [her sisters], but it is so hard to send anything out of here now. They have to go through so much red tape owing to the War, I didn't send anything to them. It is very hard on Lizzie [her sister in the Isle of Man - not her daughter], her 2 sons in the War. I hope they will come out safe. I suppose she is getting some pay. I am glad Sarah busies herself nursing, I don't think I would like it. We have been going to Church twice nearly every Sunday. We have a Manx man for our preacher this year. His name is W. Crain, he's from the north, from Sulby. He is a good preacher, he gets over 2 thousand dollars a year. I must close, with best love to all,"
This letter was written after William and Isabella Killey had moved to the town of Monmouth at 514 West Boston Ave. Her son P.I. and his wife Alice moved to the farm in 1902.
She died on 13 Aug 1925 in Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. She was 82 years old and had been confined to bed for 10 days with pneumonia. Her health had been poorly for some time and during the last few days hers condition had been critical. She was buried in the Old (City of) Monmouth Cemetery, Monmouth, IL. in the Killey plot. The minister of the Methodist Church, Dr. W.H. Craine, gave the services.

NINTH GENERATION
William Kinvig.
The source of the name William as the father of John is from an article which appears to be published in the Isle of Man Family History Society Journal pages 99-106 (date unknown); the article is entitled "Some Kinvigs of Arbory & Castletown" and was written by Geraldine Hampton, Onchan, Isle of Man.. According to the letter from Nigel Crowe on 20 May 1998, the Kinvig family was in the parish of Arbory from at least 1511 however the name at that time was Begson (another verion was Mac John Beg). The rents paid in 1511 show William Begson, Robert Begson, Patrick John Begson Henry Begson and Patrick Begson. This appears to be a form of the patronymic naming system where last names are formed from the fathers name with "son" added; thus signifying that the above are sons of Beg. The scotch form of patronymics prefixes the father's name with Mac hence Mac Beg or Mac John Beg (son of John Begson).
William Kinvig had the following children:
i.John Kinvig.
Christian Cross. Christian Cross had the following children:
Elizabeth (Bessie) Cubbon.
