Mary Elizabeth McKinney was the only full blood sister of my g-grandmother Cynthia Ann McKinney. They were the daughters of Daniel H. McKinney and Harriet Wallace of Greenville Co, SC. Harriet died in 1857, and Daniel married second Thomson/Thomsin; they are shown in the 1860 & 1870 Greenville Co, SC census records. Cynthia Ann was born April 06, 1850, Greenville Co, SC I have been given two different birth dates for Mary Elizabeth...March 30, 1851 and Nov. 13, 1854, Greenville Co, SC. The 1854 birth date seems to fit more closely with her childhood census records. I cannot find Mary Elizabeth McKinney ANYWHERE in 1880. I have found a marriage record in Collin Co, TX for Henry Clay Matthews and "Lizzie" McKinney (October 15, 1885). They are in Collin County for the 1900 & 1910 census records. Neither of those census records show that Mary E./"Lizzie" was born in SC AND her age on those census records is not "close enough" to convince me that she is "my" Mary Elizabeth McKinney. It is posted on line that she died in MO in 1924 (going from memory). There is no death certificate for her there. It is posted on line that he died at Terrel, TX. On "Find A Grave" he is listed for Terral, Jefferson Co, OK. Additionally, I found a SECOND Henry Clay Matthews married to a "Lizzie." ??????? This couple doesn't seem to fit either! I am trying to sort out information and document. If anyone can help, I will really appreciate it. pa-ha-kin@austin.rr.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
