Surnames: McKinley, Wiles, Wilks, Mann, White, Day
John McKinley was born in 1810 -in Ohio - according to the census of 1830 and 1850 of Union Twp>Brown County> Ohio.He died 27 Sept 1866, according to his tombstone in Old Red Oak Cemetery, Union Twp., Brown Co., Ohio, and was 56Y 3M 11D old then, so his birth was abt 16 Jun 1810.On 3 Nov 1829 in Brown County, he married Mattie(Martha) Wiles - parents present but not named. She was born abt 1811 according to the census of 1830 and 1850. She was still in Union>Brown>Ohio in the 1880 census as a widow, said then her parents were born Wales and she was born Ohio. I found no obituary for John in the Ripley Bee of 1866, but notices of the disposal of his estate were there - he died insolvent - but his children were named and his land sold. I can find no sign of Martha's death and place so far.He appeared to be a farmer.
His children were: Elizabeth,b. abt 1832,married John C White, b. Ohio and had Peter W, Martha J, Mary Elizabeth and Elmer Ellsworth White. she died before 1867. In 1860 census lived in Lewis Township, Brown, P O Higginsport; William Nelson,b.25 Dec 1836,d.20 May 1918,m. Albertine Isabella Day, 17 Dec 1861 Brown County Ohio; Mary Jane, b.abt 1837,d. 1867 Eden, Iowa, married John C White by 1867 husband of her dead sister; Martha Ann, b.5 Nov 1840, d.18 Jul 1918, m. John H(arry?) Mann bef 1867;Thomas M or H, b.1 Sep 1842,d.14 May 1847; Peter W, b.5 Oct 1845,d. 5 Feb 1913, m. Annie R ( ) abt 1871; Joseph M, b. 24 Aug 1848, d. 29 Apr 1911,m. Emma Wilks aft 1860;and Asa, b. abt 1850, d.bef 1867.
I am trying to prove:
1 - that this is the same Martha Wiles everyone claims to be the daughter of Christian Wiles of PA and Ripley, Brown, Ohio. She said her parents were born in Wales, but many things point to her being Christian's daughter - is there proof, such as a Bible entry of her marriage or?
2 - I am looking for proof of John's parents - it has been suggested he could be Hugh McKinley's son, and he was the right age and place for that, but is there proof? Also a Joseph McKinley was in the area in Huntington in 1820 with sons the right age - any leads would be appreciated. Lyn
