General Notes: Husband - John McKinney

---

He was born on the banks of the Swatara river, in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and spent his early life in that county, where he was married. To Mr. and Mrs. McKinney were born sixteen children, but eleven of the number died and were buried at the Derry church, in Dauphin County.
In 1795 he, with his wife and five children, left their old home in Dauphin County, and by team removed to Turbut township, Northumberland County, where he purchased a tract of land, and converted the same into a good farm, making it his home until his death. His remains were interred at Warrior Run, that township. He was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church, and was for many years an elder in the Derry Church (as was also his father Henry before him), which was known as the fighting Church, as it was necessary for the members to carry their guns when attending service for fear of an Indian attack. Gov. John Penn, then governor of the Province of Pennsylvania, was a member of the same congregation.
