Life

Minerva Moore was born in Lincoln County, Kentucky, on 18 July 1818, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place and does not name her parents.1 Annie Norman's compiled genealogy Thomas Maxwell of Virginia and Georgia (1956), a secondary source whose McKinney chapter cites county records, a family Bible and the Socapatoy tombstones, gives the same date, with the birthplace only as Kentucky, and names her father as Rev. John Benning Moore.2

On 18 September 1834 she married Patrick McKinney in Jefferson County, Alabama; the county indexes spell the groom's name McKinney, McKinny, Mckiney and McKindy.3 According to Norman, the marriage was performed by "Rev. John Moore," and her husband was born on 15 December 1813 in Warren County, Georgia, a son of Harris McKinney and Jane Ivey.4 Inference If the officiating Rev. John Moore was the Rev. John Benning Moore whom Norman names as her father, she was married by her own father; the book does not say so in as many words.4

The tree names six children, born between 1835 and 1845: Mary Jane (1835–1903), William Moore (1836–1909), Martha V. (1840–1925), Lenora D. (1843–1910), Leanard D. (1843) and Minerva Mary McKinney (1845–1934).5 Norman's two lists of the children differ from the tree's and slightly from each other: William, Valley, Martha, Jane, Matura Ann and Minerva on one page, and William, Valley, Jane, Catura, Minerva and Martha on another.6 The death records of two of the daughters, Mattie Maxwell in 1925 and Minerva McKinney Hickman in 1934, name their mother as Minerva Moore.7 Norman gives the daughter Martha McKinney as born on 4 December 1840 and died on 1 August 1925, and as the wife of Willis Martin Maxwell, whom she married in 1858.8 Inference Mattie Maxwell is therefore very probably the daughter the tree calls Martha V., who died in 1925; the tree does not record her married name.8

Minerva McKinney died in Coosa County, Alabama, on 24 October 1845, the year of her youngest daughter's birth, and was buried in Socapatoy Cemetery, where the Find a Grave index records her as Minerva Moore McKinney; Norman gives the same date and county.9 Her husband married again in 1848 or 1849 and lived at Socapatoy until his death in 1890; Norman names his second wife as Mary Coffee and gives his death as 6 February 1890.10
