KINCHEN

I am still trying to locate the parents of my John GRAVES born NC, (prob. Caswell Co.) who married Ann CAMPBELL, dau of Alexander CAMPBELL and Amy EATON. I note in the list of "War of 1812 from TN" lists, Alexander CAMPBELL, Robert CAMPBELL and next to them JOHN GROVES. My John GRAVES was related to the other two by marriage and I wonder if the name is actually GRAVES? Maybe that is why his widow was left with 8 children in 1830 Giles Co. census.
Also in Giles Co. 1830 census are listed:
Kinchen C. GRAVES
Kinchen T. BASS.
I would like to hear from descendants of the KINCHEN family to see if they are able to help me with GRAVES information. Thank you.
