Wade & Webb Family History

Eli Harris McKinney Sr.1824–1908

Chambers · Socapatoy · Crews · Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery

Known in his own lifetime simply as Harris McKinney, he married Martha H. Willingham in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1844, moved his growing family to Coosa County by 1860, and lived there for the rest of his life. He and Martha raised ten children, several of whom later went west to Texas. He died at Crews, Coosa County, on 10 June 1908, and the question of who his own parents were is still open.

Life

Eli Harris McKinney Sr. was born in Alabama in 1824, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives his birthplace as "Coosa, Ala." without an attached source.1 Every record of him found so far calls him Harris McKinney, or a variant of it, and none uses the name Eli; the tree's "Eli Harris" and the "Sr." distinguish him from his eldest son, Eli Harris McKinney Jr.2

His parents: an open question

Who his parents were is not settled.3 The tree attaches him to three couples: Harris McKinney (1784–1864) and Jane Ivey (1797–1851), who lived in Coosa County, Alabama; Eli McKinney (1800–1857) and Sarah "Sallie" Gresham (1798–1873), who lived in Chambers County, Alabama; and a third pairing, Eli McKinney and Jane Ivey, with no marriage and no other children.3 Inference The third couple joins the husband of one family to the wife of the other and is most likely a linking error; between the first two, his name fits either, since he could be named Harris for Harris McKinney or Eli for Eli McKinney, and his residence in Chambers County in 1850 and in Coosa County afterwards touches both.3 His death record of 1908, his Confederate service file and the estate papers of the two older men are the records most likely to decide the question; none has yet been examined.4

Marriage and Chambers County

Harris McKinney married Martha H. Willingham in Chambers County, Alabama, on 12 September 1844; some of the county indexes give the date as 11 September.5 Inference The two dates may be those of the licence and of the wedding, which the original register would distinguish.5 Martha Holland Willingham had been born in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, on 15 June 1824.6 The federal census of 1850 lists Harris McKinny with his wife Martha in Chambers County.7 The tree records ten children: Eli Harris Jr. (born 1844), Sarah (1847), John Albert (1849), Mary Ann Rebecca (1852), Emma Louise (1854), Beadie M. (1857), Iter J. (1860), Ella Frances (1862), J. P. (1864) and Martha Valli (1866).8 It places the births of John Albert and Mary Ann Rebecca in Chambers County.9 The tree's date for the eldest son, 12 June 1844 at Hissop, Coosa County, falls three months before the marriage, and no source is attached to it; either the date is wrong or the record needs explaining.10

Coosa County

By 1860 the family was in Coosa County, where the census of that year lists Harris Mc Kiney, with Martha and their daughter Emma, in the county's 2nd Subdivision.11 The tree records that he served in Company A of the 8th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army, in Virginia in August 1864, without an attached source.12 His service file has not yet been examined.4

The census of 1870 recorded the family at Socapatoy in Coosa County, the index reading the head of the household as "N McKinney," with Martha and an "E H McKinney" in the entry.13 Inference The "N" is very likely a misreading of "H" for Harris, and the E. H. McKinney is probably his son Eli Harris Jr., then about 26; the original page would confirm both.13 Eli Harris Jr. died at Hissop, Coosa County, on 2 June 1881, and was buried at Socapatoy.14 In 1875 Emma Louise married William Walker Walden in Coosa County; at the census of 1900 Harris McKinney and his wife Martha were living in the Crews and Lauderdale precincts of the county, where the Walden household was also enumerated.15

Death

Harris McKinney died at Crews, Coosa County, on 10 June 1908, and was buried in the Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery in the county, where the Find a Grave index records him as Eli Harris McKinney Sr.16 His widow Martha died in Coosa County on 23 June 1913.17 Several of their children settled in Texas: John Albert was buried at Hartley, Mary Ann Rebecca died at Gorman, Eastland County, in 1936, and Martha Valli died at Houston in the same year.18 He is named as father in the death records of his daughters Beadie (1930), Mary Ann Bryant (1936) and Ella Francis McDearmid (1941), and Martha Valli Walden's Texas death record of 1936 names her father only as McKinney.19

Open questions

Who were Eli's parents? (raised 2026-11-08, priority: high)

FamilySearch lists Eli as the child of three couples. At most one of them can be his biological parents, and the answer decides two of Webb Wade's 3rd great-grandparent slots (52 and 53), including Harris McKinney, who has the most memories at that generation (10).

Couple (family ID) Marriage Where they lived Other children in tree
Harris McKinney (1784–1864, LR8F-RG8) and Jane Ivey (1797–1851, 2S4L-W35), MVHW-NVR 17 May 1810, Warren Co., Georgia Coosa Co., Alabama, 1850; both buried at Socapatoy Cemetery, Coosa Melinda (1810), Patrick (1813), Emily R (1814), Jasper P (1821), Minerva Mary (1845?)
Eli McKinney (1800–1857, M2QP-LS1) and Sarah "Sallie" Gresham (1798–1873, GZ18-66P), MTD8-4JH 1817, Lincoln Co., Georgia Chambers Co., Alabama, 1840–1870; buried at Howell Cemetery, Fredonia, Chambers 12 others, 1818–1844
Eli McKinney and Jane Ivey, 9W6M-MST none recorded — Eli Harris only

What the tree already suggests (inference, not yet tested against records):

  • The third couple pairs the husband of one candidate family with the wife of the other. It has no marriage and no other children, which looks like a linking error rather than a real couple.
  • Eli Harris has a residence of 1850 in Chambers County, where Eli McKinney and Sarah Gresham lived, while Harris and Jane were in Coosa. By 1860 Eli Harris was in Coosa, where he lived and was buried. Both families fit some of the evidence.
  • His names fit either family: "Eli" after Eli McKinney, or "Harris" after Harris McKinney.
  • Minerva Mary McKinney (born 1845, when Jane Ivey was 48) is also listed under two families and needs checking alongside him.

Where to look:

  1. The 1850 census entry behind the Chambers residence: whose household was he in, and was he already married (his marriage was in September 1844)?
  2. His 1908 Alabama death certificate (cited on his page): the informant and the parents' names.
  3. Confederate service records and any pension application (Alabama Department of Archives and History): these sometimes name the father or birthplace.
  4. The estates of Eli McKinney (died 1857, Chambers) and Harris McKinney (died 1864, Coosa): probate and estate records may list heirs.
  5. Find a Grave memorials and the contributor reason statements on both candidate families. Read their reasoning first.

What the books say (Internet Archive, 2026-11-09; evidence, all derivative):

  • George E. Brewer, History of Coosa County (written in the late 1800s, published in The Alabama Historical Quarterly, 1942), pp. 247–248: the Coosa McKinneys "originated here from Harris McKinney, a native of Virginia, but who moved to Georgia, and from there to Jefferson County, Ala." It names his sons Patrick and Jasper and his daughter Emily (Mrs. Robert McAdory). Eli is not named anywhere in the book; p. 221 has "Harris McKinney and some of his sons" at Elkahatchie church about 1849, without names. A county history of 1942 is a derivative, secondary source. (record)
  • Memorial Record of Alabama (1893), vol. 1, p. 740 (from Harris's granddaughter's family): Harris McKinney "was born in Virginia, emigrated to Warren county, Ga., and married Jane Ivey. He then emigrated to Tuscaloosa county, Ala., before the admission of the state, afterward to Coosa, where he died in 1864. He reared five children, two boys and three girls." (record)
  • Annie Norman, Thomas Maxwell of Virginia and Georgia (1956), p. 389: Harris and "Jency Ivey" had Verlinda, Patrick, Mary, Emily and Jasper: two boys and three girls, no Eli. (record)
  • A Hagan family newsletter of about 1985 calls him "a Harris McKinney who married a woman named Willingham … Coosa county" (record): he was known as Harris, as on his headstone. Nothing about his parents.
  • Weighing (inference): three derivative accounts name only two sons of Harris McKinney, Patrick and Jasper (two of them count his children as five, "two boys and three girls"), while Eli Harris lived in Coosa until 1908 and would have been well known to Brewer and to the McAdory and Slaughter families. With his 1908 death record naming his parents as Eli and Sarah McKinney, and the 1900 census and death index giving his birthplace as Georgia (Harris was in Alabama by 1819, Eli was born about 1823), the evidence now favours Eli McKinney and Sarah Gresham of Chambers County. Harris McKinney is more likely an uncle or other relative whose name he carried (inference, untested). An Eli McKinney/McKinnie appears in Jones County, Georgia, in the 1820 census and the 1821 and 1832 land lotteries (History of Jones County, possible; see M2QP-LS1's log).
  • DPLA (2026-11-09; evidence): nothing found bears on his parents. "Eli Harris McKinney" and "Eli McKinney", Alabama, had no hits. The "Harris McKinney" search found a Confederate ration voucher paid to a Harris McKinney at Vernon, Mississippi, in October 1863 (NARA M347, roll 266), apparently in a Texas cavalry brigade: probably another man, though his own war service is still unknown (research log).
  • Still needed before a FamilySearch change: the 1850 Chambers census household; Eli McKinney's estate papers (Chambers County, 1857) naming heirs; the Chambers County cemetery survey (lending-library book) for the Howell Cemetery stones.
