The Kinsley name was originally Kingsley until Daniel Kingsley I, b. 1712 in Bridgewater, MA became so incensed with the policy of the King and his ministers that he dropped the “g” from his name.

He and his wife (name unknown) had 3 sons, the second being Daniel II, b 1740. Both Daniel I & II participated in the Battle of Bennington. Daniel I was 65 years old when he enlisted as a volunteer in Elijah Dewey’s Company.

MSA 84, Folders 18-20
Biographical SketchRufus Kinsley of Lowell, Vermont, enlisted in Company F, 8th Vermont Regiment on November 29, 1861, and served as corporal until October 1863. He was then commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and assigned to command Company B, 2nd Regiment, Infantry of the Corps d'Afrique. In June 1864, he was assigned to Company G, 74th U. S. Colored Troops and was in command of this company during the siege and bombardment of Fort Morgan, Mobile Bay, in August 1864.Ben Alvah Kinsley (January 11, 1796 - December 6, 1870 ? ), the son of Daniel and Lucy Kinsley, was born in Cambridge, Vermont, and moved to Fletcher in 1816. He married Catherine Montague in Fletcher on February 24, 1824. They had eight children: Guy, Lucretia, Daniel, Rufus, Jason, Alonzo (February 3, 1836 - September 5, 1911), Edgar and William L. Following the death of his first wife in 1849, Ben married Lucy Blair of Fletcher (September 26, 1854). All of the Kinsley sons served in the Civil War except Guy and Daniel. Ben Kinsley, the auther of the history of the town of Fletcher in Hemenway's Vermont Historical Gazetteer (V. II, pt. 1, pp. 200-217), writes of a post-war family reunion and of other earlier family history. Rufus Kinsley (October 9, 1831 - June 11, 1911) was born in Fletcher. After the Civil War he married Ella Bingham; they had seven children. Rufus is buried in the Lowell Village Cemetery. Lucretia Kinsley, RufusÕ sister, married Dr. L. M. Bingham of Burlington.Scope & ContentMost of the papers in this collection were given to the Vermont Historical Society by Sumner Kinsley of Barton, Vermont, grandson of Rufus Kinsley for the descendants of Rufus Kinsley (ms. acc. no. 92.12). In several cases the family has retained the original envelopes; when this is the case, photocopies have been made. The transcriptions in the collection were given by Julia C. Kinsley (ms. acc. no. 91.2); the originals are still in the possession of the family.Related CollectionsRufus Kinsley's war diary (1861 - 1865) is in the Vermont Historical Society manuscript collection: MS 973.781 K625.An ambrotype photograph of Kinsley is in FB-25; a copy print is in F-PO-Kinsley, Rufus; and the copy negative is VHS-2625. His sword and field case containing a salt cellar referred to in his diary are in the Vermont Historical Society museum collection (1992.30.1-2). Organization of the CollectionI. Correspondence
The letters in the collection were written between September 19, 1862, and May 10, 1865, and were written for the most part by Rufus Kinsley to his father, brothers, and sister in Fletcher, from Louisiana and Mississippi when he was an officer in a black regiment. Rufus writes of his disillusionment with the war, his sympathy to the black population, and his work, as well that of other officers in his regiment, in teaching the black soldiers to read and write.Ben Kinsley wrote two letters in the collection one to Rufus and one to his daughter, Lucretia.II. Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous papers include several unidentified hand-written poems, and Rufus Kinsley's provisional commission as a 2nd Lieutenant (August 25, 1863). While Rufus Kinsley was with the 8th Vermont Regiment, he copied two sections from the laws of Louisiana (May 20, 1862) which "illustrate the barbarism of slavery as it exists in the southern half of this Nation," and a New Orleans ordinance granting permission to the members of the Coliseum Place Baptist Church to establish a church (April 24, 1858).A broadside titled "American Baptist Churches--New Orleans, Mayor's Office, City Hall, January 3, 1857" (12 x 19 1/4) is folded in Folder 19. Under a plan for "new regulation of the colored Baptist churches of New Orleans," the Coliseum Place Baptist Church is to undertake supervision of the Colored Baptist churches in the city. Several letters to Rufus Kinsley from Vermont Senator George F. Edmunds in regard to Kinsley's pension claim (1886) are in Folder 19. The final item is a chronological hand-written list of the battles of the Civil War, the commanders and the respective union and rebel losses (Folder 20). InventoryI.

Days of Delusion - A Strange Bit of History
Chapter 6
By Clara Endicott Sears, 1924>>>>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, O Hallelujah!
I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, O praise the Lord!"
Old camp-meeting hymn, 1843
Now, when the spring opened the camp-meetings began. A general feeling had prevailed for some time that the end would come in April, and, though there is no proof of any fixed date in that month having been given out by Prophet Miller, there is no doubt whatever that among his following many preached that the Great Day would come before the first of May.
At the age of ninety-three Mr. Daniel Kinsley, of Worcester, gave the author an account of a meeting he went to in Fletcher, Vermont, where William Miller preached. Mr. Kinsley was fifteen years old at the time. The meeting took place in a wood outside the village. It was a very fine day in June and a great crowd gathered there, arriving from all the neighboring towns and villages in traps and wagons.
When Prophet Miller mounted the platform, he appeared to be a little under medium height. Mr. Kinsley described him as being " a serious, earnest man with a wonderful power of holding the attention of his audience and of bringing them round to his belief. He did not shout or rant the way so many revivalists do; he made his impression by his earnest manner and his serious way of addressing his listeners. When he talked, people had to sit right up and listen - they couldn't help it."
Mr. Kinsley also said that many men who one would never suppose would be influenced by him or his theory would often be converted at once and get completely under the spell of the delusion.

ID: I0577
Name: Daniel KINSLEY
Sex: M
Birth: 13 JUN 1829 in Fletcher, Franklin, Vermont
Death: 1 APR 1923 in Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts
Note: :Daniel Kinsley son of Ben Alvah Kinsley , spent his boyhood in his native town working on a farm and attending the district school. He came to Massachusetts when he was seventeen, as many Vermont boys did about that time, hoping to save money enough to buy a farm and settle in Fletcher. He went to work for Bonum Nye, of North Brookfield, one of the county commisoners, and he became acquainted with the other county commissioners in the course of business. When a vacancy occurred in the messenger's off ice at the court he was the unanimous choice of the board. He was elected June 21, 1853 as messenger of the courts and held the position for fifty years. His duties at first included work now done by the janitor and others. Time has worked many changes in the court house and the courts of Worcester County. One interesting souvenir of the early days of his work for the county is the magnificent elm, known as the Kinsley elm, between the court house and the Unitarian Church. It was a seedling in the year he began as custodian of the court house, and next year he transplanted it to its present location. It is as large as many elms of twice its age and nowhere is to be found a more graceful and beautiful tree."
