An excerpt taken from - A historical sketch of Michael Keinadt and Margaret Diller, his wife, the history and genealogy of their numerous posterity in the American states, up to the year 1893. Staunton, Virginia, Stoneburner & Prufer, 1893.

Conrad, the second son of Michael Keinadt and Margaret, nee Diller, the American Progenitors, was born in 1755, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, amid the wild and trying scenes of Colonial times, when sharp experience in personal safety among the Indians; gave questions of civil liberty were discussed with England, and measures of retaliation adopted by the Colonies against foreign encroachment; and finally of independency, which was rung out on the 4th of July, 1776, from his Colonial Capitol.

He was a soldier with the great Washington of Virginia, in the American Revolution; which not only set his country free, but the reflex influence upon the oppressed nations of the world has been marvelous, in relaxing the shackles of oppression. Conrad had an active and clear mind; was firm and decided in his purposes, with energy in their execution. He was not entertained, or delayed by trifles, but drove vigorously on to the main chance.

His father, by deed, March 13, 1787, conveyed to him the farm purchased of Samuel Culbertson, in 1776, on “Culbertson’s Row,” 4 miles west of Shippensburg: in, now, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Here Conrad lived in prosperity and provided good farms for all his sons near him.

He was distinguished for his hospitality and generosity. Conrad was a good horseman; fond of fine horses and accustomed to brisk riding; but was thrown, which caused his death, March 11, 1816, in the 62nd year of his age. He was buried in the grave yard of the Lutheran Church, in Shippensburg. His remains have since been removed to the Cemetery of that town.

Conrad had married Elizabeth Stambaugh, an excellent lady who was paralyzed in her garden, in the presence of her granddaughter Mary, daughter of Michael, who relates the occurrence; their issue: John, George, Philip, Jacob, Michael, Casper and Elizabeth. The descendants of this family in Pennsylvania, usually spell their names, ”Kyner; “ those removed to Ohio, “Kiner.”
