Search for birth date and obituary for William Wilmot Rigby and Mava Loretta (Fitzgerald) Rigby. They emigrated from Canada to the USA in 1916, first settling in Hibbing, Minnisota. From that time on no information can be found. Have been working on this brickwall for years with no success. Is there someone who can help me? I thank you in advance for any bit of information involving this family.

I'm searching for further information on my great grandfather. His name was William McKinney, born 1815, SC, according to census records. He married Elizabeth Pigg Wakefield, about 1 March 1840, in Lincoln Co., TN. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Pigg and Delilah Pigg. One census record showed Wm McKinney and one showed him as H William McKinney. They were in Lincoln Co., TN for the 1850 and 1860 census. Elizabeth and most of the family were in Hill Co., TX by the 1870 census and she was head of household. The last two daughters, Eliza and Bettie are living with her. Their children were: William Henry, John James (J J), my grandfather, Nancy Caroline, Mary Josephine, Joseph A, Eliza, and Bettie B McKinney. I have a copy of a letter that A H McAllister wrote the family when J J McKinney died, and in it he stated that William McKinney died in the summer of 1867. Albert McAllister married Mary Josephine McKinney. I will appreciate any help with a death date and location, etc for William McKinney. My mother told me that her dad, (J J) was born in TN and also had lived in MS, although I have never found any proof of this, unless you count the time he spent in MS during the Civil War!
