Life

Minerva Mary McKinney was born in Jefferson County, Alabama, on 18 August 1845, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place.1 The tree lists her under two sets of parents, Harris McKinney and Jane Ivey, and Patrick McKinney and Minerva Moore, but the records point clearly to the second couple: the federal censuses of 1850 and 1860 list her in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of Patrick McKinney in Coosa County, and her Alabama death record of 1934 names her parents as Patrick McKinney and Minerva Moore.2 Annie Norman's compiled genealogy Thomas Maxwell of Virginia and Georgia (1956), a secondary source, also names a daughter Minerva among the children of Patrick McKinney and Minerva Moore, and does not list her among the children of Harris McKinney and Jane Ivey, whom it names as Patrick's parents.3 According to Norman, her mother was a daughter of Rev. John Benning Moore, and her father was born on 15 December 1813 in Warren County, Georgia, and died on 6 February 1890 in Coosa County.4 Her mother died in Coosa County on 24 October 1845, about two months after her birth.5

On 17 July 1865 she married Thomas J. Hickman in Jefferson County; one index of the marriage gives the date as 14 July.6 The couple lived in Tuscaloosa County, where the censuses of 1870 and 1880 list Manerva Hickman in her husband's household, in 1880 at McMath's, and by 1900 they had moved to Birmingham, Jefferson County, where the censuses of 1900 and 1910 found them.7 The tree names eight sons: Earnest Patrick (1867), Charles M., a physician (1868), Kelly Kirk (1870), Carl Frank (1872), Lloyd (1875), Thomas Jefferson Jr. (1879), Maxwell Harris (1881) and Adair Hickman (1885).8

Her husband died in Birmingham on 3 November 1910.9 In 1920 the census recorded Menerva Hickman in the household of her son Adair Hickman in the 9th Assembly District of Manhattan, New York City.10 On 1 October 1925, back in Jefferson County, she applied for an Alabama Confederate pension, the state pension paid to Confederate veterans and their widows.11 The census of 1930 found her in Birmingham, where she died on 1 May 1934; she was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Birmingham.12 Her sons' death records, made in Tennessee, Texas, Illinois and Washington State between 1929 and 1952, give her maiden name as McKinney, once misread by an indexer as "Mcsainey."13
