From:	ANCESTORY OF THE McKINNEYS
	DICTATED BY VIRGIL McKINNEY
	WRITTEN	BY W.C.	McKINNEY
"George McKinney, youngest son of old John, married but we do not know his wife's name. He had two sons, Tom and Matt. Tom lived at McKinney's Bridge on Broad River and married Mary Ann Ford. Their children were Laura who married    John Crawford, Mattie who married Virgil McKinney, Jennie who married Tuck McGraw and Mollie who married Gus Miller. Matt, son of George McKinney, lived at what we call the old Tanner Place. He had one boy and one girl, Bol and Ann, I think their names were.  When they were small or perhaps before Matt was married, he probably went west, for we know very little of him or his family."
