Hi:
Am not related but will pass on a few tidbits I have found on the family.
Weekly Gazette Stockman newspaper (Reno)
1891 August 27
A serious shooting affray occured on Friday evening last at Secret station on John
McKissick's ranch on the Fort Bidwell stage road, in Lassen county, Cal etc etc. (it
was not John but someone named Blake and Armstrong)
Same newspaper dated 1891 December 3
John McKissick, with a 20-horse team, is engaged in hauling wheat from Alturas to Amadee
on shares. He gets half of the wheat he hauls, sacked and delivered on the farms at
Alturas.
I noticed there is also a reference to John "Pink" Pinckney McKissick at
www.familysearch.org (the LDS site.
Regards, Arline in Nevada
