The Old McKinney Home

 

Logan's Fort in Lincoln Co., KY was located near what is now called McKinney. The fort had four cabins with a stockade and was built about 200 yards from the center of the village on the present McKinney-Middleburg highway. The McKinney family composed of Archibald, John and probably Daniel came from Rockbridge Co., VA, about 1772. Archibald married Jean McClure about 1788 and settled in Bourbon Co., and took up 1100 acres of land, later losing it by a prior claim. He then returned to Lincoln Co. to the fort which by that time had been destroyed by Indians and changed the name to McKinney fort (1789). This lasted until 1874 when the southern railroad was built through the valley and the name was changed to McKinney Station. Archibald McKinney's home is still in existence, and it was said that when the house was completed, he climbed to the top of the house to show his agility, even though he had only one leg. It has not been as well preserved as some of the other old homes in the area. (Contributed by Mary Hubbard).

 

The fort was on McKinney's branch of Hanging Fork Creek, about two miles from Green River and nine miles southwest of Stanford. It is said to be the first permanent trading post in KY which furnished supplies to the militia.

The McKinney families who settled here represented a larger family group than in other stations. Many of them served with troops guarding the frontier and some of these are buried in the old cemetery overlooking the present town. The old spring has been covered over with a large concrete cover with an electric pump. The family name occurs in NY records at least as early as 1680. Archibald was born in 1750 and died Jan 15, 1823. They were married in Lincoln Co in 1788 (Jane McClure). Their children as listed in the Simeon Valentine Peyton Bible were: George b Aug 20, 1791; James b Jul 16, 1794; Annie, Jan 14, 1796; Salley; Burton b Jul 16, 1799 d Aug 10, 1874; Jefferson b Jan 1, 1803; Archibald b Feb 25, 1807; Nathan b Jan 23, 1808; Madison b Oct 24, 1809; Jane. Burton's home still stands in McKinney.
