Biography
Wife's name is Jane McKinney but I cannot find any information on her maiden name. He may have been married twice, or Jane may have had a formal first name that she was not known by. He is buried in Hobson Cemetery next to Polly Jane McKinney Cook(e) and Jane McKinney, but he also had a sister named Jane McKinney whose birth dates correspond to the tombstone. There are two unmarked graves in this plot as well.
