Kingan was born in Pittsburgh, educated at the University of Michigan and in 1891 came to Tucson where he established his law practice (Kingan & Dick, later Kingan & Wright.) Kingan was one of the 5 Pima County members of the Arizona Constitutional Convention in 1910. Laid in are two bills of lading.
