Looking for the MCKINNEY family from Smith County. Nancy Jane McKinney was born May 7, 1850 and she married John Nelon.

I would like to make contact with persons who have, or are researching the VANCE Family in Smith Co. I believe that one of these son's of Samuel and Agnes (PENQUITE) VANCE, who were living in Bucks Co, Penn ca 1764, and migrated down to this area of Tenn, is the line of my Benjamin Franklin VANCE, who was born in Tenn in 1827. Benjamin married in 1850, in Carthage (Hancock) Illinois, Catherine TANKSLEY of Jackson Co, Tenn. Andrew VANCE was very early to Hancock Co, Illinois, James VANCE was in nearby McDonough Co. Neither of these, are Benjamin's parents. Many other family's from this area, were in Hancock/Schuyler Co, Illinois, in the 1840-1850's.

Hi Nancy,  
Been working and traveling .... I need you to check out something for me. So here goes. Mansfield ELROD came to Montgomery County from Putnam county, Tn where he had married Margaret Ann HOOPER of Smith County, TN. She was born in NC was a sister of Layfayette HOOPER.
The children of Mansfield and Margaret ELROD were
Joseph Franklin ELROD, who married Minnie FUQUA,
Elizabeth Elvima ELROD, who married Cornelius Winfree,
William T. ELROD, who married Lina Rolling,
Rena ELROD, who married James Maxey,
Nelson ELROD,  who married Allie Logan,
Horward ELROD, who married Lillie Fuqua,
and Artie Mississippi ELROD, who married
     1. Samuel Williams
     2. John Grigby Patterson.

I need to know where Margaret Ann HOOPER was born in NC. My mother was the daughter of Samuel Williams and Artie Elrod Williams. Samuel died at a young age and Artie later married Grigsby Patterson. They were the parents of aunt Margaret  PATTERSON LYNCH, and aunt Minnie PATTERSON LYNCH. So that makes them half sisters to my mother.
Margaret Ann Elrod raised my mother bacause Grigsby Patterson didn't want her around.
My dad, Robert Steeley, was left an orpan at age 11 and was taken in by an aunt. They put him to work in a sawmill;... treating him bad so Mansfield Elrod just went and got my dad and took him home with him. So dad and mother grew up in the same house. When my dad was 23, Pa Elrod died and then he and mother married. They took care of Granny Elrod until she died in 1936.

I am in the process of planning a trip to Smith County, TN, the end of May.
The names I am searching are McKinney, Glover, Grisham, Bellar, who were in the area by about 1820.

I am hoping there is someone out there who might be familiar with the names or the area, particularly the area around Chestnut Mound, and might be willing to help us make the best use of our time.

Hi Nancy,
I am researching my Pendarvis/Vance family and through a series of e-mails I was sent some work you compiled for Nancy P. Goodman's Genealogy and Tennesee. Would you please fill me in on what Nancy P. Goodman's Genealogy and Tennessee is all about. My 3rd great Aunt, Nancy Pendarvis married into the Glover family and I am trying to find additional information on her parents and her family for that matter.
What names do you have information on? I am looking for Pendarvis, Herron, Dickens, Vance, Wood, Robert(s), Piper, Dudley, Fley, Wallis, Allen, Lamons, and Perry.
Pendarvis, Herron, Glover, Dickens, Vance, Wood and Robert(s) are family names while Piper, Dudley, Fley, Wallis, Allen, Lamons and Perry are good friends of the Pendarvis family and may or may not be connected at this point in my research. In a letter that William Pendarvis wrote to his son in IL 25 Dec 1833 he mentions that cousin Pepy is about to marry Glen Glover and that cousin Thomas Vance has died. I am trying to ID both Pepy and Thomas Vance.
Do you have information on any of these surnames from Smith Co., TN 1780-1850 or can you refer me to people who searching any or all of those names?
I am not on "online" yet so I am stuck with whatever Juno can do is is
e-mail only. Thanks for your help.

Hi Beth;
That is interesting on the Mrs. Robert Q. McKinney, I had not heard of her prior to Ron Smith ([email protected]) sending me the link to the Smith County page which mentioned McKinney as one of the authors. So I emailed the TSLA for information and they sent me back her name as author or compiler of some of the Smith County published records.

Do you have any of her works? Or do you know if they are still available for purchasing? If you have her email address, I would like to get in contact with her.

Let me know how Robert (and you) descend from the McKinney's, I didn't know if you were connected with the same McKinney as Ron Smith, Ann Gabbert and I are.

Willie or Wyley McKinny who married Nancy Jane Glover, as shown in Ron Smith's post on my McKinney page.

As to research locations in Smith County, I am not really familar with them; the only times I have been there was to visit my Aunt Daisy Lynch who died in 1981, and then to her funeral. She and some of my other Lynch family, are buried in Ridgewood Cemetery, and my aunt Daisy owned the house right at the corner of the road which entered into the cemetery (McGuiness Rd).

I imagine everything will be closed on Memorial Day; not sure if the court house closes that day or not, but I think so.

Smith County has a genealogical/historical society; I have the address, will check and see what it is and send it. They publish an excellent quarterly, and membership in the group is only about 15.00 (I think) but I just haven't gotten around to joining.

There is also the Mid-Cumberland Genealogy Society in Cookeville, TN which covers Smith County; along with all the surrounding counties. I understand they have an excellent genealogy library in Cookeville, and they too publish an excellent quarterly.

I don't know what Smith County has as far as records, since I haven't been able to go there to research, but I will check around and see if I can find out anything.

I am sending a copy of your note to Ron Smith and to Ann Gabbert, since we have been sharing on the McKinney/Glover line. Ron is the one to talk to on the Glover connection, as I got it from him. Also sending a copy to Pat Janssen and to Robin Novo who may also be connected with our McKinney/Glover line.

Hi!
Sixty quadrillion bazillion thanks for your post. I did check out your website. I have the next three days off, and have determined that tomorrow I will print out all your information so that we can look it over and, hopefully, find some connections.

I was especially interested in the post about Newton Harrison GLOVER. He was my husband's great grandfather. I have a photograph of Newton Harrison Glover, and I'll swear that if he and my husband stood side-by-side, you couldn't tell the difference.

I also checked in on the TSLA site. There are many references to Mrs. Robert Q. McKinney. Robert Q. McKinney is my husband's uncle, the youngest of 8 children and only survivor of the family. His wife is the genealogist. They live in California, and are quite recently "on-line".

When I originally posted, I thought we were going to have several days to stomp around in Tennessee and Kentucky (I have ancestors in the Bardstown area of Nelson County, KY). Unfortunately, we are now reduced to only a little more than a day in Smith County. We hope to arrive in the Nashville area prior to 3 pm on Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day). we will probably move on to Kentucky after dark on May 26. That is a very short time to spend in Smith Co.

Any help we can get in locating cemeteries, relatives, property sites or whatever, would be most appreciated. Based on past experience, I think we will NOT have time to spend in the local genealogical or historical library.

Thank you again.

Who are the authors of the following where last name is indicated as

LYNCH or

as McKINNEY ?

I recognized the Partlow as Thomas, but wondered if the Lynch is Louise?
And I am not familar with the McKinney name as an author of genealogy material.
I have both Lynch and McKinney ancestors in Smith County, TN.
thanks,
Nancy Goodman in Hendersonville, TN
