The McKinney
family info that Robert McKinney is kindly posting for me on
McKinneyGenWeb is from a Family Tree Maker file, which also includes
some data on ancestors of Sarah Weathers and on my Lann family.
If you would like to have this file or a GEDCOM file from it, contact
me at c_nmorri@bellsouth.net.
In view of the
genealogy misinformation that one can find on the web, I have tried
to document my data. If you find errors or questionable info in
it, please contact me.
The best source
I've found about genealogy of our McKinney family is the book A
McKinney Family History, Revised Edition (1988), by Mildred McKinney
Gee. There's a copy in the genealogy room of the library in
Aberdeen, MS (Monroe Co.). I don't know what other libraries
have copies. A very good source about the family in VA is a
book edited by G. R. B. Richards, Register of Albemarle Parish, Surry
and Sussex Counties, 1739-1778. I have found that in several
libraries. The ancestry of Sarah Weathers' mother, Mary Rives,
has been traced to Robert Ryves (ca. 1490 - 11 Feb 1551) of England
(James Rives Childs, Reliques of the Rives &ldots; (1929)). Mr.
Childs argues convincingly that the Rives family must have come to
England from France.
I'm not aware
of any evidence that Donald McInnish, Sr., ever used either of the
names "Daniel" or "McKinney."
The Mary who
married Donald McInnish, Sr., may have been a Willie, as some
suggest, but I have seen no documentation of that. Nor have I
seen documentation that Donald McInnish came from Islay. More
research is needed.
It is unlikely
that Daniel McKinney received a land grant in MS Territory for his
Revolutionary service, as was stated in a county history
article. He did receive a NC bounty land warrant, possibly for
land in TN, which he probably sold.
That Daniel
McKinney died before 23 Feb 1835 is attested by his will being proved
on that date (Monroe Co., MS, Probate Court Minutes 1, p. 315).
__________________________________________________________________________
The web is not the only place to get
misinformation about genealogy.
Donna Crawford Morgan's "McKinney
Family" in A History of Monroe
County is another. Her statement
that all the children of my James
McKinney were born in Monroe Co. is almost
certainly incorrect. Three
census records for son Josiah indicate
that he was born in TN, as do 2
records for son John. Daughter
Arvazena seems to have been born in NC
(2 census records). That article
also shows the marriage date for
Sarah McKinney (to Richard Horn) as her
birth date, and shows the
birth date of her sister Nancy as 1814.
Since that article is my only
source for Madison as the middle name of
my James McKinney, I decided
to relegate that to a note.
Your site is the only place where I've
seen a suggestion that the Mary
who married Donald McInnish was a WILLIS.
(Willie is another
matter.) I'm curious as to whence
that came.
