Transcription
From the archive.org text layer:
I have two side line families that interest me. WARD is one of them. […] The other name is MCKINNEY. In my Bryant line, there are 3 marriages of McKinneys to Bryants and Hagans. It starts with a Harris McKinney who married a woman named Willingham. They lived in Alabama in the early 1800's - Coosa county we think!
