William Henry Kinning served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was a Private in 114th Cavalry unit from Cazenovia New York. He was a shoemaker by trade and before he served.
He served in Captain Seneca Lake's Company, (K) of the 114th New York Regiment Vol. Infantry and was enlisted by Captain Seneca Lake at Cazenovia, New York on 11 August 1862 to serve three years. However, on 3 September 1963 at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he was discharged due to disability: "phthisis [pulmonary tuberculosis or wasting] in a well developed form" which, the medical examiner believed, was heritary but appeared to have developed since his muster.
When he was given a certificate of disability on 1 Sep 1863, he was described as 5 feet 8½ inches tall, dark complexioned, had dark eyes, and dark hair.
He reinlisted 25 January 1864 at Syracuse and served in Company E of the 22nd Regiment of the New York Cavelry until he was mustered out on 1 August 1865 at Winchester, Virginia.
After he was discharged, in October 1886, affidavits from Alexander H. deClercq, L. Clinton Hatch, Thurlow C. Frons(?), and Wilson L. Pickins claimed that he continued to be ill and unable to do anything to support himself - even the simplest farm labor jobs were difficult for him. At the time he was a resident of Cazenovia, Madison County, New York.
He and his wife Eliza later went to Federalsburg, Caroline County, New York. He was there when in the 1890 veterans census, he claimed to have a back and side injury from falling from a horse.
