Latitia was the youngest child of Allen and Patsy Godwin of Blue Mountain MS. She was the wife of John Wesley Kinney. Latitia cared for her mother Martha 'Patsy' Reynolds Godwin for over a decade before Patsy's death.
John and Latitia are said to have had many children, including:
Henry E. Kinney, (1865 MS - 1930 TX)
George Allen Kinney (ca 1867 MS - 1955 TN)
Mary 'Annie' Kinney Harris (1868 MS - ?)
Alfred 'Henry' Kinney (1868 MS - 1943 TN)
William Hardy Kinney (ca 1877 MS - 1955 MS)
Martha Kinney (1873 MS - ?)

According to Ruth Godwin Gadbury, in GODWIN-HILL AND RELATED FAMILIES, Allen Godwin gave his daughter, Latitia, and her husband, John W. Kinney, 130 acres of land in September of 1867. This land bordered land owned by Elijah Godwin, James Godwin, James Callicutt. Then in October, 1872, just two weeks before Allen died, he deeded 82 acres to his wife Martha for $500 and she in turn deeded it to J. W. Kinney for $500, both deeds recorded the same day. In December of that same year, Martha deeded 88 acres to John W. Kinney for $700, all land in Tippah County, Mississippi.

Comment of Peggy Smith Wolfe: One must wonder if these transactions are the so-called "will" that Latitia's half-brother Calvin, a cripple, wanted his niece and nephew to return from Texas and help him "brake." See note from Calvin Godwin in GODWIN ARCHIVES, VOLUME 1: LETTERS TO ALETHA AND OTHER GODWIN FAMILY on Lulu.com. Whiteville was in Hardeman County TN.
