Biography

Mary Ann McKean was born on 25 March 1838 on her parents' farm in Cole County, Missouri, USA. Her parents were Nathaniel McKean, b: 1810 in Belfast, Waldo, Maine, USA, and his wife, Mary (McGlothlin) McKean, b: about 1806 in Madison County, Kentucky, USA. She was the 7th of her parents' 13 children. ^[1]

Mary Ann McKean's mother passed away in Cole County, Missouri, shortly after giving birth to her last son, T. J. McKean, in March 1847 at 41 years old. She was buried in the Robertson Graveyard, Cole County, Missouri. No Find A Grave Memorial has been found for her. Her husband survived her, moving the family to Dallas County, Iowa, with his son Cornelieus McKean. On Dec. 12, 1858, he married Roena (Rogers), widow of Clark Bonine, in Dallas Co., Iowa.

Later that same year, on 12 October 1858, in Dallas County, Iowa, 20-year-old David Henry Bonine, Nathaniel McKean's stepson, married his daughter, Mary Ann McKean.^[2] On the 1860 US Census for Spring Valley Township, Dallas County, Iowa, three adjacent farms were recorded: Nathaniel McKean's farm household; Roena's farm household, headed by her oldest daughter, Delfina Bonine; and David & Mary Bonine's farm household.
