Many counties published "Histories of ---- County" around 1880 - 1900. Does Adair County have such a book? Is there anyone who lives in Adair County who would be willing to do a look-up for me? Specifically - John McKenney/McKinney and his wife, Nancy, moved to Adair County between 1850 and 1960. John died there in 1871 and Nancy late in 1880. Both are buried in Moots Cemetery. Many of their children were married in the county and continued to live there. It is possible that one of the McK*nneys might be mentioned in such a history book. The two sons' names were (1) William McK*nney and (2)Andrew McK*nney. The daughters' names were (1) Mary Jane (McKenney) Harris (2) Susannah (McKenney) Swinford (3) Rebecca (McKenney) Collop/Colup and (4) Louisa C./Theresa C. McKenney. Any marriage unknown. The second possibility is that there could have been obits for either John or Nancy. Especially for Nancy since she died when long flowery obits were becoming common. Is there anyone in Adair County who would be able to find such information for me. I would (of course!) be willing to pay! I live 2000 miles away and just don't think I'll be anywhere near Missouri in the near future. Any help would be so much appreciated. Thank you so much. Jody McKenney Thomson
