George Herbert Kinsolving
The Right Reverend George Herbert Kinsolving (April 28, 1849 – October 23, 1928) was the second bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, serving from 1893 to 1928. He was succeeded by the Right Reverend Clinton Simon Quin.
He came from a family of clergymen. His father Rev. Otis Americus Kinsolving (1822-1894), minister at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg, Virginia became an avid Confederate and after his second wife's death was imprisoned for treason. His half-brother by his father's third wife, Rev. Wythe Leigh Kinsolving, served Episcopal churches in the South and New York City. His half-brothers by his father's second wife (her father Asa Rogers serving as a Confederate militia general and the family heavily supporting Mosby's Rangers) were Rev. Arthur Barksdale Kinsolving (1861-1961)(also known as an author and historian in Maryland) and Rev. Lucian Lee Kinsolving (1862-1929).
