Hello,
I am new to this list. I am looking for any information about a Richard
McKinney, who indicates on his Lee Co.,KY marriage record to Mary Crawford
from Estill Co., KY that he was born in Owen Co., IN in 1851.
Are there any published books or indexes of birth records for Owen Co. that
could verify this? If so, does it give parents names? I am trying to confirm
who the parents of this Richard McKinney are.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I saw where someone else checked the 1860 census. I looked
at the 1850 census and found only ONE McKinney male living
in the John D Montgomery family pg81 Taylor Tnsp. age 18, but
there was no suitable wife for him in that household. His
name was Jacob McKinney and I would consider him possibly one of the
parents you are seeking.
Interestingly, there are several McKinney marriages just prior to
1850 so the family must have mostly moved away just around 1850:
McKinney, William; Evans, Matilda; Jan 10. 1836; Thomas Dunning, J.P.
McKinney, James; Guyn, Elizabeth; Apr 17, 1845; Dan'l Anderson, M.G.
McKinney, Isom I.; Ballew, Mary E.; Apr 02, 1848; John Brown, M.G.
I don't have the marriages for 1850+ so can't tell you if or when
Jacob married but there is some heat here. A query to Vivian
Zollinger would settle that. See the Owen Co Hist. site below
for how to send that query.
