Life

Robert McAdory was born in Kentucky on 6 November 1808, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place and does not name his parents.1 The Memorial Record of Alabama (1893), a subscription biographical collection whose sketches were written from what their subjects told the compilers, says in the sketch of his son-in-law John N. Slaughter that Robert's father "came from Ireland, settled in Christian county, Ky., and married Celia McShan and emigrated to Jefferson county, Ala., where he died soon after."2 Inference If so, Robert was probably born in Christian County, Kentucky, and came to Alabama with his parents as a child; the sketch does not name his father.2

In 1829 he married Emily R. McKinney, a daughter of Harris McKinney, in Alabama; the tree gives the date both as 20 November 1829 and as 10 December 1829 in Tuscaloosa County, and the marriage index entries attached for that year have the names withheld.3 Three published accounts, all secondary sources, name Emily's husband as Robert McAdory: the Memorial Record, George E. Brewer's "History of Coosa County, Alabama" (1942), and Annie Norman's compiled genealogy Thomas Maxwell of Virginia and Georgia (1956).4 According to the Memorial Record, Emily was born near Warrenton, Georgia, and reared in Alabama, and her father, Harris McKinney, had moved to Tuscaloosa County before Alabama became a state.5

The tree names two children, Patrick Jasper McAdory (1833–1910) and Mary Jane McAdory (1835–1896), and Patrick Jasper's Alabama death record of 1910 names his father as Robert McAdory.6 The Memorial Record gives P. J. McAdory's birth as 10 March 1833 in Jones' Valley, Jefferson County, Alabama.7 It also says that Robert "left three children": Col. P. J. McAdory, a planter of Coosa County; a daughter it calls Mrs. M. Y. Baker, widow of Dr. W. H. Baker; and Celia R. Slaughter, born on 9 November 1837.8 Brewer likewise names three children, P. Jasper McAdory, "Mary J., widow of Dr. Neil Baker," and "Celia, wife of John N. Slaughter, of Goodwater."9 Celia is not among the children in the tree.9 The two books differ over Mary Jane's husband, Dr. W. H. Baker in the Memorial Record and Dr. Neil Baker in Brewer, and give her own initials as M. Y. and Mary J.; neither says which is right.9

Robert McAdory died in Alabama on 10 December 1837, aged 29 by the tree's dates, and was buried in the McAdory Cemetery at Duncanville, Tuscaloosa County.10 The Memorial Record agrees that he died in 1837 in Tuscaloosa County.11 Inference By the tree's date of his death, his youngest daughter Celia was born a month before he died.11 His widow married Alfred M. Massengale in Coosa County in December 1840 and died in Texas in 1861; the Memorial Record gives her death in Texas once as 1861 and once as 1858.12
