Founded, September 1981 as a non-profit, educational Association and library, dedicated to researching, preserving and collecting historical and family data. To assist and instruct in genealogical research and to publish private and public records and educational articles. Bylaws and Constitution adopted October 1981.

Officers: Barbara Pannage Stanfield, Co-Ordinator

Patricia McKinney Kirkwood, Secretary-Editor

FROM THE EDITOR'S NOTES . . .

Teaching a genealogy course in our local adult school, I have discovered that only a small percentage of the beginning students of genealogy have the determination or motivation to become skilled in the field. Most are disconcerted to find that they have to study, read, research and work in order to find their ancestors. 'RootsÓ has been a mixed blessing in that many researchers believe that they will be able to walk into any local library and demand the 'family history of the Smiths', and with relatively little more effort on their part, will be handed at least five or six generations of their family. Those who are serious, find that they are sometimes more interested in the by-products of a genealogical search, and the historical and geographical information that they accumulate along with genealogical data. I believe that genealogy is just another synonym for perseverance; more so with some surnames than with others!

Our second quarterly will finish some New York/New England material, and then, as did our ancestors, travel a bit through Pennsylvania and Maryland. September should find us following the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia into Virginia and then on into the Carolinas. Also included in this issue is a preliminary report from one of our researchers working on the puzzle of the two William McKinneys (March issue), and furnished us through the kindness of Annabel Rowe, who had commissioned the work before we founded the Association. You will also find a list of books that are available for loan or search (in order to qualify as a non-profit association within the framework of our state laws). Requests for material will be answered as promptly as possible. However, many of the materials are used in my classes. The borrower may have to wait until completion of the class before receiving the materials. We ask that refund of postage is included when the material is returned, and that bound volumes are insured for the amount marked in the book. I believe that a loan period of two weeks (actual 'in the handsÓ time) should be ample time for the borrower. If members have further ideas on book loans, or wish to include titles in their personal libraries, we will be happy to spread the word. Perhaps we can build upon the present titles!

PENNSYLVANIA AND THE SOUTH

The student of genealogy must acquaint himself not only with family facts and dates, but with migration patterns, history, and economic conditions in order to trace people from the eastern coast of the country into other areas. Some of the children of Mordecai settled in Hepburnville and Williamsport areas of Pennsylvania, and then moved on south during the period of 1756-57, both because of the wars and border disputes, and for better and larger areas for hunting and farming. Along the Great Wagon Road (originating in Philadelphia), many settled in West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, making it almost impossible to locate some branches of the family. They sometimes stayed in an area such a short time, that they did not leave lasting impressions on the land or in vital records and other means available to the genealogist. The thorough researcher must be historian, detective, cartographer, and a paralegal in order to locate some of these elusive ancestors. Following are some general notes on Pennsylvania families that may be of help. Also included are notes from Maryland and a few New England areas that pertain to family research.

David McKinney located at Sunbury in the Spring of 1776. He was formerly a resident of New Jersey and Virginia, and although he had other occupations, established one of the first distilleries at Sunbury and remained in this business for some years. Late in life he removed to a farm near the Great Island, and there he died. His son, Abraham, died at Sunbury on the 13th of September 1835. He built one of the first mills on Mahanoy Creek, Jackson Township. Isaac removed to Centre Co and established an iron furnace.

(Generations of Mordecai's remaining children, i.e., Daniel, Jacob, Ann, Mordecai, will follow in succeeding issues.)

INDEX, NEHGR, Vol. 38, p 351

Rev. David McKinney DD, a corresponding member, admitted Feb 8, 1858, was born at Kishacoquillas, Mifflin Co., PA 22 Oct. 1795, and died at Edgeworth Station, Sewickley, PA May 18, 1879. His father was Isaac McKinney Esq., born in New Jersey on the Raritan River June 21, 1767, and died in Centre Co. 11 September 1849. His grandfather was from Scotland (Editor?) and his mother was Jane Fleming, born in Chester Co., Jan 1767, and died May 15, 1838. Her parents were Scots Irish. David m. 16 May 1825, Miss Eliza L. Finley, who died in 1854, then Miss Sarah Stockley and third, Sarah Elizabeth Diddle. He left two sons and a daughter at his death. (Alexander, b 1816, who m. Elizabeth Tuttle). He lost several children in early life and was the founder and editor of the Presbyterian Banner in Philadelphia, which was joined with the Christian Advocate; graduated from Princeton Seminary.

Editor: We find some differences between this version and one from Eliza Moore. She states that David was born in 1734 and died in Sunbury. He married Rebecca Lane in 1761 at Maiden Lane, New York City, she was born 4 April 1738, Amsterdam, Holland and died in 1823 in Sunbury. She states that they settled at New Brunswick, Sussex, NJ where they resided 11 years and he operated a Grist Mill. They moved to Sunbury in 1772. The first six children were born in New Jersey, and the rest in PA. Ten years after the death of David Sr. his widow married John Hunt and they removed to Childsquawke Creek, after which they parted and she moved back to her own home in Sunbury, and kept store. Mrs. Moore enumerates the children as follows:

MIDDLE SPRINGS PREBYTERIAN CHURCH RECORDS . .

Located near Shippenburg, PA, this church was divided in 1823. Joseph McKinney left for another at that time. It has been said that John McKinney, son of Mordecai, helped to build this church, however, the earliest record is 1781, when David McKinney was a subscriber. Perhaps it was one of the grandsons rather than son of Mordecai.

Most authorities claim that the Scots prisoners of 1652 account for this family of McKenney (see the HISTORY OF SACO VALLEY), which has also been considered as Irish. Henry McKenney, a Scot, was 21 in 1651 and was a servant for George Spear in Braintree, Massachusetts. Some of the others listed are Hugh located at Casco in 1703; John of Scarboro, 1664, Robert, John, who drowned in Ogunquit River in 1697; Kenney, of Boston, Mass., sued for debts in Saco Valley in 1665; Robert, who m Rebecca Sparks, widow, Dover, 1 Dec 1692. Robert died in 1724 and had sons John and Henry.

. Annals of Buffalo Valley, Linn -- Some additional notes: Most of the settlers left the valley for the fort at Sunbury in 1756 after Penn's Creek massacre. p. 99: Lt. Mordecai McKinney of Muncy Township was mentioned in an incident at Derr's Trading Post, July 4, 1777. David McKinney was a committee man, August 1776. Mordecai was also mentioned ( p 111, 114, 117) in the trial of Robert Robb, and was paid 1lb. 2sh 6 pence by Mr. Clay for expenses of Col. Murray's battalion, Jan 1777.

In 1778, most Jersey people returned to Jersey from Lycoming Co because of the Wyoming Valley Massacre. Both Robert Covenhoven and Albert Polhemus died at Northumberland leaving seven small children -- some of whom went to Wm. Thompson and some to Elias Younkton to be raised as Presbyterians. David McKinney was a representative in the assembly in 1780; James McKinney was mentioned as a 'single man'. 1781 surveys show Jacob Kinney and James McKinney in Penn's Township, White Deer. 1784 gives Abrahm McKinney and Jacob Lamison in White Deer Township militia.

THE TWO WILLIAMS

Mrs. Annabel Rowe has furnished us with a research report that she has personally commissioned regarding New Jersey records applying to the two William McKinneys in the area. The bulk of the report contains material relating to pew rentals at the Lamington Church. The chronology is as follows:

1715, bap 25 Aug 1715, 1st Reformed Church, Raritan, son of Mordecai

Machkini, witnesses, Jacob Bodyn and wife.

1735, 10 Nov. Wiliam McKenny patron, Janeway account books, 20 Dec. William McKenney, son of Mordeca, patron, Janeway, Almanack charged to Mordica McKenny

5 Oct. baptism, Readington Ref. Church, Wllem, son of Willem and

Annatie McKinney

(the researcher should be aware that the names, Hannah and Anna were interchangeable, and in Dutch were seen as Annatie)

36.

Note: It would appear form these records that William b 1715, son of Mordecai, is the William that died intestate in Morris Co. William and Annetie (Hannah) had son William b 1760, which could account for the William b 1723, buried in Warren Co. 1777. It should be obvious that the 1723 William was a weaver -- the 1715 William son of Mordecai, was the tavern keeper.

1754, Mordecai McKinney possessed lot #64, Branchburg Twp. of which

123 and 4/10's acres were sold to John Dumont.

1751-1755, William McKinney was living on 40 acres at North Branch

1762-1765, Land in Sussex Co in possession of Daniel and Colin M'Kennie

to be sold at public venue

1773-74, Plantation in Lebanon Twp., 2129 acres being sold, Mordecai

McKinney living on same

1771-1780, Bondsman, William McKinney, estate of Thomas VanHorn,

Mansfield Twp., Sussex Co.

1786-1790, Witness, William McKinney, estate of Mary Purviance, Salem Co.

1777, 6 March, will of William McKeney, Greenidge Twp., Sussex, probated

naming male children John, William, James, David

1774, Docket of Jacob van Noorstrand, Bridgewater Twp., Somerset Co., 2

May 1774, Mordecai McKinney vs Peter Duman, Logrange, debt dif.

appeared and states he paid same to Dirck Morlatt one of the executors

of estate of William Mackinney and has receipt Genealogical Magazine

of New Jersey, Vol. 44, p40 (son of Mordecai McKinney)

Mrs. Rowe has furnished the photocopies of the Lamington Pew Rents, and they include basically the same information. From 1750 to 1757, the following names are included on the rents:

Jacob V. Dibeeers, Wm. Suthen, Wm. Hogland, Andrew McClane, William

Jones, Wm. Linn, John Adams, Benj. Archer, John Allen, Jacob Tenike, Tunis Posts, Jeremiah Bright, Will: McKeney (weaver), Peter Prince, Richard King, David Helin?, Archibald Morison, James Wood, Wilm. McKenney, W. James ?, John Bodin, John Micklevanfor, Thomas Vanhorn, Cornelius Skinnere, William Bay, Patrick Brown, John McCarty, John Smith, Wm. McCrea, Ralph Smith, Andrew Workman, John Burns, ? Carlile (Rob't)., Richard Porter, Peter Prine, Cornelius Bodoin, Richard Morrison, Robert White, Wm. Colwell, Jr., Daniel Wladrons, Robert Simonton, Jacob Vandervere, Jeams Graham, Bryon Leferty, Abner Lowrance, Hugh Sutton, Jeams and Joseph Lin, Andrew Lake, John Mucklevane, Robert Simson, John Herriot, Alexander Adams, James Adams, John McKilvainey, John Livingston, and a few others that are unreadable. Later dates show both William McKinney, Tavrin, and William McKenny, weaver. William McKinney is gone from the pew records from 1749 through 1754 (the innkeeper). Note: Spelling is shown exactly as given in the records.

In re-reading Mordecai's will in Genealogical History of Our Ancestors, it would seem that the William who died intestate, February, 1759 in Morris Co., could not have been the son of Mordecai. Mordecai's will was written in November 1759, and if the original was read correctly, states, 'Item, I will that my Lott of Land at the North Branch be rented out until the Youngest Son of my son William Comes to Age and the rent thereof Shall be to Support the Children of my said son William. And when the Youngest of my said son Williams Son shall arrive to the full Age of Twenty One Years, then the aforesaid Lot Shall be Sold, and Shall be equally Divided

37.

between my son Will and His Children Viz: Abraham, Ann, Mordecai, Mary, Share and share alikeÓ.

This, is not an indication that William had predeceased his father at the time the will was written. Combined with the information that we have on the two Williams in the Lamington Pew Rents, Mordecai's will, and William who died intestate in Morris Co., we may be dealing with THREE William McKinney families in adjacent areas!

Do any of our members have access to:

Inventory of TenEyck estate of Sussex Co.:?

Allegeny Co. Maryland History, giving the date of the Indian raid on

Mr. McKinney's property?

The Thomas Van Horn will which William is mentioned?

The will of Mary Purviance?

These items are of the utmost importance in identifying the two William McKinneys, and possibly the third.

NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS, NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS, 1754, p438:

'To be sold, at North-Branch in New Jersey, 15 miles above Rariton Landing, on the main Road that leads from the thickest Farmers in those Parts, to the said Landing. A Lot of Ground of 40 acres, half of it very good Pastrue Ground, in English Grass, and in good Fence: The other Half well timber'd., whereon stands 2 good Dwelling-Houses, and a good Grist Mill, new rebuilt, will grind about 8 or 9 Bushels an Hour, and at all Times plenty of water: A very suitable place for a Tavern, or merchandizing, having a great Opportunity of buying Wheat, being on the main Road where great Part of the Wheat is carried that Goes to the said Landing. The Title is indisputable. Any Person inclining to buy, may apply to Joseph Forman, Merchant, in New-York, or to William M'Kinney, who lives on the Premises, for either the Whole or Half, on reasonable Terms . . ' The NY Gazette or the Weekly Post Boy, November 4, 1754.

We wish to commend Roxanne Carkuff, our researcher in Ringoes, NJ for a thorough project in gathering material of the two Williams. We look forward to her next communication.

REPORT FROM THE SCOTTISH TARTANS SOCIETY, Museum of Scottish Tartans, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland PH 6 2 DW: Subject: Mackenna, Mackinna, MacKinney(ie).

Again, the report quotes, almost in it's entirety, the entry as shown in Black's Surnames of Scotland. The report gives nothing that is not already known, other than the fact that it appears most often in Wigtown, Cray, Kirkcudbrightshire, Dunbarton and Galoway, Scotland. In the parish lists of Wigtownshire and Minnigaff (1916), it appears as Mackena, McKennah, McKeney, McKenny, McKenney, and Kinny. If, in fact, Mordecai was from Kilmory(ie), Kilbride as some of our members have found, then, this would eliminate the Mackinnons as forebears. Kilmory (Bute), and Kilbride (Ross & Cromarty), are both near Arran and Bute, and not to be confused with Kilmory (Skye). It may be that they are a small branch of the Macknnon who were first found on Bute and Mull, as well as on Skye. Unfortunately, we will have to identify Mordecai's birthplace before we will be able to verify ANY theories of birth in Scotland or Ulster.

SALT LAKE CITY INFORMATION

Billie Beard

Billie has given us photocopies of the CFI (IGF) microfiche records for New Jersey, Maryland and South Carolina, along with the printed index, Vol. II, of Gale's Passenger Ships Index. We do not have room to print all of the material, however, we will be happy to send anyone information from the pages listed in the Temple Library. These are from the new up-date (1976), as of September 1981. A word of caution: the records included on the family group sheets are only as accurate as the person who submitted them. Please don't assume that everything shown on the family group sheet has 'been proven' by the church, or is 'gospel'. Not so, the church is interested in the sealing/baptizing, etc., and does not have either time or money to resource and double-check every sheet listed. They are, by the way,

43.

happy to accept additions and corrections to family group sheets on file. We also have a photocopy of several pages of the Sebering Collections for those who would like to borrow it.

I have thoroughly checked every entry from the Gale work, and find that there are only two who might apply as our Mordecai's ancestors: John McKennan, n.a., East New Jersey, 1686; John McKennan, n.a., New Jersey, 1685. Both were passengers on the Henry and Francis. All other McKinneys listed were much later, and none specifically entered New Jersey. We will be happy to make copies of the material for the price of copying, and postage. (That includes the CFI printouts for NJ, MD, SC). There were about the same listings on the family group records as those that most of us have seen in the past, however, ordering information was not included (serial and batch numbers), so I suggest that you check with your local LDS Library for ordering information. THANKS

NEWS AND NOTES . . .

Genealogy Address Directory, 516 East Fourth St., Blue Earth, MN 56013, R.C.H. Greimann, 1981

I purchased this book, recently, for the library price of $4.00 ($6.00 for private subscribers), and heartily recommend it to researchers. It is soft-cover, 108pp, and contains addresses for birth, death, marriage and divorce records, state, local and church historical societies, national state local and foreign genealogy societies and periodicals, church, nationality and racial societies; and book and form publishers. Small, 5x7, this booklet is bound to be the most convenient easy-reference to much-needed addresses for the researcher. Easier and more concise than the Handy Book for Genealogists, which I normally recommend to my classes (but now costs in excess of $18), this small and convenient book contains much the same information, but no maps -- which a good, used atlas will provide. I highly recommend this book and suggest that our members will find it extremely useful. On the subject of maps -- try to find the oldest atlas available in the used book source near you. You can then cut out the maps that interest you to carry in your notebook. Most of the pre-1945 books have clear county lines (and as a bonus, mention towns that have been 'swallowed up' in suburban sprawl). Again, this book is a 'must have' for your genealogical reference library.

The Family McKinney, Nancy Sayford, 656 Village Road, North Palm Beach FL 33408, 1981, $20.00

Nancy is a member of our group, and has sent us a copy of her new book for our library, one that the descendants of Daniel, in particular, will enjoy and appreciate. Beautifully typed, double-spaced, and spiral-bound, it reads more as an entertaining 'history' than a simple date and place only, genealogy. I thoroughly enjoyed the text and noticed only a few 'typos' or facts that were debatable. A miracle in production. Just ask anyone who does a quarterly! You will all enjoy her book, which is priced at reproduction costs only, and I would suggest that those who specifically have lines from Daniel (1717), son of Mordecai, will want to have a copy. The charts are well done and easy to use, and an index is included.

The will of Mordecai is included with his mark and the first and in some cases, second generations of his children other than Daniel. There are one or two inaccuracies in the lines, however, they are minor ones, i.e., Boren is given as a child of James (1750), son of John and Susanna, which is the surname of one of the wives, not a child. These are minor however, and the work is exceptional. Descendants of Daniel will want to have a copy of this book.

CHARLES MC KINNEY AND RELATED FAMILIES, Estelena M. Harper, 252 Broadview St., Anaheim, CA 92804, privately printed, 1973, this is a revision, $40.00 from the author. A copy of this book was received for review (Augustan Society), and I have finally been able to read and enjoy it. Reading more as a description of the Piedmont area of North Carolina, the genealogical work and historical work is good, and the anecdotes and family history are better. Beginning with Charles McKinney b ca 1765, it describes his four wives and forty-eight children -- seventeen of whom have not yet been identified. North Carolina researchers will be able to fill in some of those 'missing' generations with this volume.

Note: Have recently heard that there are two other books concerning McKinney families that this editor has not been able to locate. Perhaps one of our members can help. They are, The Brazen Overlander (concerning Oregon McKinneys), Forest of Many Trees.

Daniel McKinney is shown in the 1790 Federal Census, in Mohawk- town as having 3 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 6 females. The Dempster Records show:

Errata:

Letter from Howard W. McKinney of Illinois, has corrected the information on margaret b 1754, Hepburnville, PA, who m Rawley Chilton. As he points out, Margaret was about 45 years older than Olive. Therefore, Olive's husband was shown in the 1850 census of Surry Co. NC as 50 and Olive as 52, younger than she. Perhaps there were two Rawleys? (Original information was from Dellie Pell Owens). Marriage records show Releigh Chelton, mar Mary McKinny, 28 Jan 1828 and Rally Chelton & Olive McKinny, 5 Dec 1830.

NEWS & NOTES, Cont'd.

One of our members commented on the fact that we do not have any members in Kentucky where the McKinney name was and is found so often. I have mailed a complimentary copy of our publication to the Kentucky Genealogical Society, perhaps that will interest some McKinney's in joining us. If you have a favorite society or genealogical group, perhaps they would be interested in exchanging publications with us. We would like to build up a quarterly section in our materials for loan.

Material sent by Rosalie Jackson and others has been most plentiful, and I hope that you will have patience with me -- I need to integrate it into the material that I use in each issue, which takes time, but I sincerely appreciate all material received, and will use it in our publication as soon as is possible. It has also occurred to me that we could use a couple of 'volunteers' to begin indexing the issues for a yearly index (Winter issue). Nothing is quite as frustrating as a surname publication with no index! How about it?

Donations to our material and lending library items are appreciated, and will hopefully be tax-deductible within the near future. We are awaiting word from the California Franchise Tax Board, per our request for non-profit, educational standing. We will keep our members apprised of the situation.

It would be convenient for us to maintain a card file or name file of those members who are willing to research, visit libraries for those unable to do so, and to generally exchange services. Please let me know if you are willing to perform any of these items for the membership on an exchange basis, or any other arrangement.
