Life
William McKinney was born in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1840, a son of Eli McKinney and Sarah "Sallie" Gresham, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for his birth.1 The federal census of 1850 lists him as William Mc Kenny in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of Eli Mc Kenny in Chambers County, and that entry is the only record attached to him.2 The tree records his death at Millington, Shelby County, Tennessee, in 1914, without a source, and gives him no marriage or children.3 Inference With only the 1850 census to identify him, the Tennessee death may belong to another William McKinney, and it should be treated as unconfirmed until a record connects the two.3
