John Wesley McKinney, born May 1832 in Ga; died 1923 in Plantersville, Tx. Generation No. 2 4. John Wesley2 McKinney (unknown1) was born May 1832 in Ga, and died 1923 in Plantersville, Tx. He married Sarah "Sallie" Hearne1 1860 in Alabama, daughter of John Hearne and Caroline Sides. She was born February 02, 1838 in SC. Notes for John Wesley McKinney: John Wesley McKinney had family in or around Clayton or Union Springs Alabama per the oral history. He was born in Georgia and his Ma and Pa born in N C per the 1880 Grimes Co Tx census. From correspondence with Clyde McKinney and his daughter Joann Dewberry. Mr. John McKinney "decided to come to Texas after the Civil War simply because they were starving like everyone else. Money was no good, they couldn't pay the taxes on the land and the carpet baggers were everywhere taking advantage of a bad situation. Also, they had relatives already in Texas who were overseers for Dr. McAlpine." John and family arrived in Tx in 1868 and got off the train at Courtney Tx. For much more on these surnames see "Grimes Co History" pages 408-413 & 664. John McKinney and Sara Hearne are buried in the pasture behind Gus Schroeder's home at Whitehall Tx. He bought the old McKinney homeplace. Graves have probably been destroyed per my Grandmother, Evie McKinney's, two daughters. My mother Eva and her sister Lillian. A hand me down story from Flossie Jackson and her sister Lillian McWilliams is that Mr McKinney was first married to Sallie Hearne's sister [no name] and she died from a cook stove fire that exploded when pouring coal oil [kerosene] in it. This has not been verified at all but another Hearne researcher, Mrs Clepper of Houston does show with 3 question marks a Sophona Hearne who married John McKinney. Now this Sophona is one of six daughters of a Thomas Hearne and wife Caroline Harris. Which makes Sophona a first cousin to Sallie and not a sister. This family needs much more work. kw More About John Wesley McKinney: Burial: 1923, Whitehall, Tx Notes for Sarah "Sallie" Hearne: Sallie born in S C as well as her Ma and Pa.

My dear Grandma always claimed to be Scots-Irish and Black Dutch and she would always add on "and proud of it". She had blue eyes and strong facial features. Well the Black Dutch is an American euphemism for people of mixed marriages and is a long story in itself. Her mother, Sarah Hearne has an English/Irish surname and is still well represented in Waterford County, Ireland. Her dad is John McKinney, another Irish surname exclusively from Ulster, Ireland. kw More About Evie Effie McKinney: Burial: Brookside Cemetery HoustonTx Cause of Death: Stroke & Hardening of the Arteries More About Bill Mooney: Cause of Death: Tubercolosis Notes for Oliver Pinkney McWilliams: Oliver 2, Paul and Silas 4, Drura 10 and Martha 16 (step-daughter) and their widowed father John Moses McWilliams 46 are on the 1880 Young Co Tx Census.
