This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McKINNEY, CROW, COLLINS, MEASON, MASON, CHILES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RMB.2ACE/511 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on: C. P. (Charles Peyton) McKinney - It is believed that Charles was born abt. Jun 1855 in Russell County, KY, but I have not been able to confirm it. Per the census information, C. P. claimed that his father was born in VA, and his mother in KY, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. We now know that he was married (at least) to Martha Jane Crow (m: 26 Aug 1880) and to Olivia Meason or Mason (m: 25 Dec 1883). Martha (b: abt 1848, d: abt 1881) was married prior to Hiram Collins (m: 1866), and apparently died shortly after the birth of her son George Akers McKinney; Olivia (b: 1845, d: 1922) was married at least once prior to Napoleon B. Crow (m: 24 Dec 1863). Olivia Meason - Olivia may have been called "Ellen", but this has not been confirmed. Her surname may have been spelled "Mason". Her middle name may or may not have been Chiles. Olivia's parents were: William Hightower MEASON b. 1811 in Nelson County KY. William was married to Jane HAY sometime in 1840 in Clark County, MO. Two conflicting dates are 27 Aug 1840 and 03 Oct 1840. Jane was born about 1821-1824 in VA, d. about 1852. William and Jane had 5 known children: 1) Agnes MEASON b. 1842 in MO 2) Albert MEASON b. 1843 in MO 3) Olivia MEASON b. 26 JUN 1845 in Monroe County, MO, d. 1922 4) Charles MEASON b. 1847 in MO 5) Taylor MEASON b. 1849 in MO These families may have had some Scotland County, MO connections. Any information that can be provided regarding the McKINNEY, CROW and/or MEASON family(ies) would be great.
