Captain Elijah Kinne served with Col. Daniel Morgan in the Carolinas, during the Revolution and came to Dutchess County afterwards. He took land in the Military Reserve at Ovid, Seneca County, New York, Lot # 2 and moved there in 1792, and with his sons built a log cabin. He later built a fine home on Bushpasture Hill, this was situated on the Ithaca and Geneva Turnpike. The Kinne family served weary travelers with kind hospitality in those early years.
Capt. Kinne brought to town the first grindstone, an article much needed, to sharpen their axes and other tools. He built the first frame barn and in 1793, also on his farm was built the first gristmill, by a Mr. Boardman, it remained about a year, when it was discontinued as the stream was too small to support the mills operations. Another gristmill was built about five miles distant from his farm.
Captain Elijah Kinne and his son, Elijah Kinne Jr., were prosperous farmers and also dealers in live stock, owning between them some three thousand acres of land at the time of Captain Elijah Kinnes' death on February 6, 1830.
