The second born child and first son of John and Phebe Kinney, he was named Edmund after his mother's father, Edmund Tompkins the Loyalist, but was known as Edward in almost all citations of record. There are many online references to his name being George Edmund, but I have yet to see a written citation that includes the name George.

He was the first to bring the Kinney name to the Upper Kent Parish i.e. Holmesville/Mineral/Moose Mt. part of Carleton Co, along with the entirety of his in law's Holmes family. Then followed soon after by his younger brother Asa, as well as 3 of his sisters and their husbands and families, Sarah Kinney Hargrove and Elizabeth Kinney O'Neal, and his oldest sister Susanna Sophronia Kinney Green.

He was also affectionately known to many locally as "Uncle Ned"
