Daniel C. McKinney, the birth of whom was Fayette County, State of Kentucky, 2nd day of November, 1806, and is the subject of this sketch. His father's name was Daniel McKinney, his mother's maiden name was Margaret Wallace. They were from the counties of Augusta and Rockbridge, Virginia. They were married in the State of Virginia and then moved to the State of Kentucky in 1775. David McKinney was the father of twelve children to wit: James, Esther, Elizabeth, Margaret, John, Robert, Alexander, Mary, Thomas, David C., William and Cynthia A. James was the first one to move to Indiana. He crossed the Ohio River at Jeffersonville on the 6th day of November 1811 being the night before the battle of Tippecanoe was fought. He settled on the quarter section of land on which a part of the town of Livonia now stands. He owned the north quarter and his father, David owned the south one, but of which half of the section we have not been informed, nor in fact of the section as Livonia is located upon two sections. At the time James moved to Indiana, the Indians were constantly prowling around, committing their depredations upon the unoffending settlers, and he, with other settlers, erected their cabins in supporting distance from each other (wonder if the gentlemen who took such exceptions to what we at one time said about Christianizing the Indians had not better go and listen to some of Uncle David C. McKinney's recollections of early times with these red brethren, before he publishes another card about what our ideas were. As he is a near neighbor of Uncle David it would be easy to get the information and then he can pack up his missionary traps and start out to convert Sitting Bull and his cut-throats, and thus render humanity, Christianity and civilization a great blessing, and make himself a man worthy to be called a second Howard in philanthropy as well as in name).
Absalom Sargeant owned the land where several of the cabins were built for the protection of the settlers, and the land is now owned by David Patton near Sinking Spring. About the middle of March 1814, David McKinney and all of his family James excepted, left Kentucky bound for the Indian territory. The roads were very bad and muddy, but having good teams and also considerable stock, consisting of cattle, sheep and young horses, they got along, all things considered, first rate: They arrived in the Territory in due course of time, and settled on Lost River, on what is now known as the Trimble farm in Orange County. On their trip, to Lost River they found but few settlers, whose cabins were sparsely dotted over the country. They were well pleased with their location, and all the force that could be brought or made available was put to work and used in clearing the land.
-52-
On the 14th day of May 1814, the youngest child, Cynthia Ann, sickened and died thus making the first breach in the family of David McKinney. David selected a place to bury his child, and the place is now known as the Trimble graveyard and which has since become so noted as a cemetery by reason of its containing the remains of so many representatives of the numerous families that lived and died in the surrounding country. The three boys, John, Robert and sometimes Alexander, had their hands full in herding and caring for the stock, John having the greatest share of the burden. Every night he would have to hobble all the horses so that they would not stray off during the night. In the morning all of them would have to be hunted up and harnassed for work. Whenever one of the boys had to go to the mill, it was at Beck's Mill on horseback, a distance of twelve miles.

The Editor has received several long ahnentafels to be printed . . space does not permit their printing in entirety in this issue, so have patience, they will be printed in our next issue – one from Marjorie Davis Sheehy, and one from Olive Batcher – they are both magnificent, and appreciated – so have patience, again, and we will offer them in our Winter, 1985 issue.
Helen Marple, our member, is sending us her voluminous notes for McKinney families, and they will be presented ffrom time to time in our quarterlies – these concern, in the main, the descendants of James and Mary Ballard McKinney of NC. For those who are interested, send an SASE if you desire information before publishing.
We have received our long-awaited copies of Genealogical Books in Print, which are available for loan (see Library Listing) . . they are a most invaluable tool for locating printed material on just about every subject of concern to historians and genealogists, as well as maps, manuscripts, family quarterlies (such as Maze), with ordering information . . although some of the materials published are not available, at least it is a guide to availability of material. It is suggested that many of you will want to have copies of your own, at $27.50 from Genealogical Books in Print, 6818 Lois Drive, Springfield, VA 22150. This firm also has available, charts, forms, genealogical materials, etc. The two volumes are soft-bound (paperback), and are easy to use, indexed, and complete with ordering forms. The editor has had volumes one and two of this work for some time, although I missed ordering volume three – hence, this fourth edition has been eagerly awaited. If you do order from the library – only realize that this book will be long in coming – we are sure that it will be off the shelf more often than not.
Computer genealogy continues to grow . . a conference was held in Kansas City recently, and Leland Adams of Overland Park, stated that the major hurdle to overcome was the massive task of entering huge amounts of information into the computer, as well as the privacy issue. Glade I. Nelson of the Genealogy Library of Salt Lake City, Utah mentioned that a person could enter the names of all ancestors into computers and suddenly receive a list of all potential references to that person – technologically, it could be done today, but there are rights of privacy that must be solved . . by early 1987, the LDS Library will have computerized its catalog of holdings including land records, tax records and census records. No decision has been made on whether to make it available for home computer users, but there is some optimism in this regard.

Speaking of computer genealogy – do we have a member who would be willing to computerize our McKinney family groups (many of them), and make print-outs available to members (for a fee, of course?) If so, please contact the Editor. Our ancestor0Matching service would be of much greater help and availability if it were to be computerized.
Mrs. Margaret Scruggs Carruth, Dallas, TX (1954-1959) had advertised in a quarterly publication that she was an unofficial clearing house of McKinney Family information. Is any member familiar with Mrs. Carruth – can you locate the information that she held? She seemed to be a desc of Moses McKinney of Southampton, VA and Mary Harris who lived in GA.
