Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/389 Surname: McKinney ------------------------- My great-great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson McKinney listed his birth place on his Civil War enlistment papers as Edgar County, IL. He was born in 1839 and lived most of his life in Kansas. I have been told that his father, Jesse J. McKinney, was the postmaster of Clinton, KS in 1868. I would appreciate any information on either gentleman. Thanks.
