Life

Eli Harris McKinney Jr. was the eldest child of Eli Harris McKinney and Martha Holland Willingham.1 The FamilySearch tree, without a source, gives his birth as 12 June 1844 at Hissop, Coosa County, Alabama, but his parents' marriage is recorded in Chambers County on 12 September 1844, three months after that date.2 Inference Either the birth date or its place is probably wrong: the family was still in Chambers County in 1850, and a birth in or after 1845 would fit the marriage; the census ages should be checked.2 The federal census of 1850 listed Eli Mc Kinny in his father's household in Chambers County, and the censuses of 1860 and 1870 found him, as Eli H. and E. H. McKinney, in the household in Coosa County.3 The tree records that he was a Confederate soldier, and an index of Confederate pension applications from Alabama, Texas and Virginia carries an entry attached to him.4

On 7 February 1871 Elie H. McKinney married Mary A. Bryant in Coosa County, two months after her brother, J. E. Bryant, had married his sister Mary Ann Rebecca McKinney.5 The census of 1880 listed Eli Mc Kinney as head of a household at Crews, Coosa County, with his wife Mary.6 The tree names five children: Ellie (born 1872), Annie (1873), Eli Thomas (1877–1958), Tillman (1877) and John Harris McKinney (1881–1960).7 The Texas death record of Eli Thomas McKinney in 1958 names his father as Eli H. McKinney.8 Eli Harris McKinney Jr. died at Hissop, Coosa County, on 2 June 1881, according to the tree, and was buried at the Socapatoy Cemetery; Find a Grave indexes him as Eli Harris McKinney, Jr.9 His widow later moved to Texas, where she died in 1922.10
