Found as a seedling by Michael Kinnaird on his farm in Franklin County, Tennessee (U. S. A. ) in 1855. Thought to be a cross between American Limbertwig and Winesap . A letter in USDA files says that the original tree was brought to Maura County, Tennessee, in 1843 by R. O. Kinnard from Williamson County
