Life

Rebecca Annie Edwards was born in Coosa County, Alabama, on 15 February 1851, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date; a citation migrated from an earlier tree calls her Nancy Rebecca Edwards.1 The federal census of 1860 listed Rebecca Edwards in the household of John F. Edwards in the second subdivision of Coosa County, and the census of 1870 found her in the household of J. F. Edwards at Nixburg, Coosa County.2 Inference John F. Edwards was probably her father, though the index entries in hand do not state the relationship and the tree records no parents for her.2 On 1 November 1870 Rebecca A. Edwards married John A. McKenney, John Albert McKinney, a son of Eli Harris McKinney of Coosa County.3

The couple moved to Texas, where the census of 1880 listed "Rebecka McKinney" in her husband's household in Precinct 2 of Jack County, and the census of 1900 found Rebecca A. McKinney with him in Justice Precinct 4 of Parker County.4 The tree names seven children, born between 1871 and 1888, two of whom died young: Roxie B. (1880–1890) and Edna L. (1883–1884).5 Texas death records also name her, as Rebecca Anne Edwards, as the mother of a John Harris McKinney who died on 10 October 1940, a son the tree does not record.6 Her husband died in 1916.7 The censuses of 1920, 1930 and 1940 listed Rebecca McKinney in the household of Walter B. McKinney at Gainesville, Cooke County, Texas.8 Inference The indexed "Walter B" is most likely her son Walter Albon McKinney, though the index entries do not state the relationship.8 Rebecca Ann McKinney died at Gainesville on 23 December 1941 and was buried there the next day.9 The death records of her children Emma (1968), Joseph J. (1970) and Walter A. McKinney (1972), like that of John Harris McKinney in 1940, give her maiden name as Rebecca Edwards or Rebecca Ann Edwards.10
