Life

Patrick McKinney was born in Warren County, Georgia, on 15 December 1813, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and names his parents as Harris McKinney and Jane Ivey.1 Annie Norman's genealogy of the Maxwell family and its allied families (1956) gives the same date and place and the same parents, calling his mother "Jency" Ivey, and names his grandparents as Moses McKinney and Mary Harris of Southampton County, Virginia.2 It names five children of Harris and Jane: Verlinda, Patrick, Mary, Emily and Jasper.2 According to George E. Brewer's history of Coosa County, published in 1942, Harris McKinney was a native of Virginia who moved to Georgia, then to Jefferson County, Alabama, and later to Coosa County, where Patrick and his brother Jasper both farmed.3 Both books are derivative accounts: Brewer wrote from local memory, and Annie Norman lists county records, a family Bible of Patrick's son William and the tombstones at Socapatoy among her references.4

On 18 September 1834 he married Minerva Moore in Jefferson County, Alabama.5 Annie Norman calls her a daughter of Rev. John Benning Moore, born in Kentucky on 18 July 1818, and says that the marriage was performed by Rev. John Moore.6 The tree names six children of that marriage, born between 1835 and 1845: Mary Jane, William Moore, Martha V., Lenora D., Leanard D. and Minerva Mary McKinney.7 Annie Norman lists them as William, Valley, Martha, Jane, Matura Ann (Catura in a second list) and Minerva.7 Inference Four names agree; Lenora D. and Leanard D. in the tree and Valley and Matura Ann in the book may be the same two children under different readings, but neither source shows it.7 Minerva died in Coosa County on 24 October 1845, and the death records of their daughters Mattie Maxwell (1925) and Minerva McKinney Hickman (1934) name both parents, Patrick McKinney and Minerva Moore.8 Brewer says that Patrick's son William married a daughter of Reuben Maxwell and lived near Alexander City, and that his two daughters by his first marriage married Lewis Maxwell and Richard Slaughter.9

He married secondly Mary L. Calfee, whose name the county index reads as "Mary L. Coffee"; the index dates the marriage 14 December 1849, while the tree, without a source, gives 16 December 1848 in Coosa County.10 Annie Norman also writes "Mary Coffee," but Brewer calls Patrick "a son-in-law of Evan Calfee," which supports the tree's reading of the name.10 The tree names five children of the second marriage: Sarah Elizabeth and Thomas Perry (both 1852), Harris Christopher (1854), Patrick (1863) and Kelly Baker McKinney (1871).11

The federal censuses from 1850 to 1880 record Patrick McKinney as the head of a household in Coosa County, Alabama, with his wife Mary, in 1870 and 1880 at Socapatoy.12 Brewer counts him among the early settlers near Sockapatoy and Bradford's and describes him as living between the two places, "having a handsome home, a fine orchard and a good farm", which Brewer says was worked by Black labourers.13 They were enslaved people: the census slave schedules of 1850 and 1860, the separate returns that listed enslaved people under the names of those who held them, include him.14 Brewer calls him "a wealthy farmer" and says that he was robbed by Rousseau's raid, the Union cavalry raid through Alabama in the summer of 1864.15 Brewer says that the McKinneys were Baptists, and he names Patrick among the last members of Friendship church, which was dissolved in 1870.16

He died at Socapatoy on 6 February 1890 and was buried in Socapatoy Cemetery; Annie Norman gives the same date.17 His widow and at least two of their sons later lived in Texas, where Mary died in 1899 and where the death record of Kelley Baker McKinney in 1948 names his father as Patrick McKinney; the Texas death record of H. C. McKinney in 1922 is also attached to Patrick.18
