Robert Kinsman emigrated in 1634

It is noticed that the Wilts branch of the family spell their name Kingsman (the Northampton line not using a "g"), and in the list of passengers the Emigrant Robert's name is spelled Kinsman, although he dropped the "g" after coming to America.
There are also much repitition in America of the descendants of the Emigrant, for many generations, of some of the old Christian names of the Wiltshire branch.
These facts feed to presumption that ancestor Robert Kinsman, came from Wiltshire and was the son of Robert who died there in 1647. Should future investigation prove this theory, our family is traced to the Northampton family of the 14th century who bore the coat of arms.
