General Notes: Husband - James McKinney

---

He was his father's assistant from an early age, being the first born son, and at the death of Matthew McKinney he bought out the other heirs and retained possession of the acres he had helped to wrest from the forest. He owned two hundred and forty acres of the original three hundred, and replaced the original log house with a four-room frame house, and also erected a commodious frame barn. These buildings stood for ninety-two years, until July 30, 1909, when they were struck by lightning and destroyed by fire. He cultivated his farm all his active years, but between seasons was a "freighter" on the old National Pike, making trips over that noted road until after his marriage. On many of these trips he drove as far west as Chillicothe, Ohio, and as far east as Philadelphia. He prospered in his undertakings, but his freighting business was brought to an abrupt close, as his wife, whom he met at the "Black Horse Tavern" in Wheeling, would not be left alone during the many weeks a trip required. So thereafter he devoted himself entirely to the cultivation of his farm. He served for a short time during the second war with Great Britain, but in the main lived a quiet retiring life, devoted to home and family. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church.
