McKENNEY posted by Jody Thompson on Thursday, July 15, 1999

Sarah McKenney was enumerated with her parents, Jonathan and Louisa McKenney, in the 1865 Coffey County Agricultural Census. She was listed as being 14 years old (b. 1851) and born in Arkansas.
The family moved to Jackson County, Missouri before 1870 and Sarah was not with them at that time. Can anyone tell me if she married in Coffey County -- or did she die there?
Thank you.

BURGETT, Charlie-Joanna-Dorothy-Charlene-Pete posted by Norma Ellingsworth-Freeman on Tuesday, July 20, 1999

These are all childhood friends. I have lost contact for many years. It would mean so much to find ANY of them. "Pete" is the mother-Lucina. I think. I fear she has passed away. Her last name would have been Graham, widow of Lee Graham. ANYONE knowing the where abouts of any of these people please contact me at this site of my email address.
