THOMAS C. KINCH, farmer, section 1, Barton Township, was born in 
Leicestershire, Eng., Oct. 3, 1838, and 

is a son of John and Sarah (Freeman) KInch.  The parents were natives of 
England , and are both deceased.

Mr. Kinch set out in life with no aid but the patent necessity of securing a 
livlihood.  At the age of 

seven years he was employed in gardening, and, true to the habits of his class 
and country, remained in 

that employ until he was 14 years of age.  He then learned the baker's trade, 
and followed it in the city 

of Leicestershire 13 months, when he was apprenticed to a butcher and served 
two years.  After that he was 

variously employed until 1856, when he came to the United States, and first 
found employment in 

Connecticut.  He came thence to Ohio, where he was married, May 4, 1868, to 
Rhoda H., daughter of James 

and Jane (Gleed) Lewis.  She was born May 4, 1842.  Mr. and Mrs. Kinch have 
two children:  JOhn L., born 

Jan. 27, 1869; and Fred, April 23, 1871.

Mr. Kinch is the owner of 280 acres of land, with 45 acres improved.  He is a 
Republican in politics.
