Life

Emily R. McKinney was born in Georgia on 24 October 1814, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and names her parents as Harris McKinney and Jane Ivey.1 A sketch of her son P. J. McAdory in the Memorial Record of Alabama (1893) says that she "was born near Warrenton, Ga., and reared in Alabama."2 The sketch of her son-in-law John N. Slaughter in the same book says that her father, Harris McKinney, was born in Virginia, married Jane Ivey in Warren County, Georgia, and moved to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, "before the admission of the state," that is, before Alabama became a state in December 1819, and later to Coosa County, where he died in 1864.3 That sketch says that Harris "reared five children, two boys and three girls," and Annie Norman's genealogy of the Maxwell family and its allied families (1956) names the five as Verlinda, Patrick, Mary, Emily and Jasper, the children of Harris McKinney and "Jency" Ivey.4 The tree gives the couple six children, among them Eli Harris and Minerva Mary McKinney, whom neither book names as theirs, and has no Mary.4 Both books are secondary, derivative accounts; among her references Annie Norman lists county records, a family Bible of William McKinney and the tombstones at Socapatoy.4

In 1829 she married Robert McAdory in Alabama; the tree gives the date both as 20 November 1829 and as 10 December 1829 in Tuscaloosa County, and the marriage index entries attached for that year have the names withheld.5 Robert McAdory died on 10 December 1837 and was buried in the McAdory Cemetery at Duncanville, Tuscaloosa County; the Memorial Record also says that he died in 1837 in Tuscaloosa County.6 The tree names two children of the marriage, Patrick Jasper McAdory (1833–1910) and Mary Jane McAdory (1835–1896); Patrick Jasper's Alabama death record of 1910 names his parents as Robert McAdory and "Emma McAdory."7 The Memorial Record says that Robert left three children: Col. P. J. McAdory, a planter of Coosa County, born on 10 March 1833 in Jones' Valley, Jefferson County; Mrs. M. Y. Baker, widow of Dr. W. H. Baker; and Celia R., the wife of John N. Slaughter, born on 9 November 1837.8 George E. Brewer's history of Coosa County, published in 1942, names the same three, P. Jasper McAdory, "Mary J., widow of Dr. Neil Baker," and "Celia, wife of John N. Slaughter, of Goodwater."9 Celia is not in the tree, and the two books disagree on the name of Mary's husband.9

As Emilla McAdory, a widow, she married Alfred M. Massengale in Coosa County, Alabama, on 6 December 1840.10 The Memorial Record says that she "was married a second time, to Alfred Massengale, emigrated to Texas," and Annie Norman gives his full name as "Allred Madison Massengale."11 The tree names nine children of the second marriage, born between 1841 and 1854: Harris McKinney, John Cobb, William Stokely, James Columbus, Alfred Leroy, Joanna, Thomas Love, Emma and Ellen Massengale, the last of whom died in infancy in 1854.12 By 1860 the family had moved to Texas, where the census of that year lists Emely Massingale in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of A. M. Massingale in the Western District of Milam County.13

She died on 6 August 1861 and was buried in the Little River Cemetery at Jones Prairie, Milam County, where the Find a Grave index records her as Emily R. McKinney Massengale.14 The Memorial Record contradicts itself on the year: the Slaughter sketch says that she died in 1861, the McAdory sketch that she "moved to Texas, and there died in 1858."15 Inference The census of 1860, which lists her living in Milam County, rules out 1858, and 1861 agrees with the tree.15 Her surname is spelled Massingale in the tree's name for her and Massengale in most records.16
