John McKinnie

John McKinnie was born about 1704 most likely in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.
He was the son of Barnaby Mckinnie. There is ample evidence for this fact. In an
an article for Historical Southern Families, John Bennet Boddie writes a well
sourced account of the MacKinnie family. (1) On 28 Oct 1736 he sold land
to his father Barnaby Mckinnie. (2) Much later in 1799 a deed shows that
Patience Geddy was the daughter of John McKinnie and granddaughter of Barnaby
Mckinnie. (3) He married Mary Parrish, the widow of William Parrish, sometime
before 30 Dec 1736 since on that date her deceased husband's estate was divided
between his widow, Mary McKinnie, and his daughter, Sarah Parish. (4)
John
died sometime before February 28, 1753 when his will was probated leaving his
estate to his wife Mary, his son Barnaby and his daughters Patience, Mary and
Martha and his " daughter-in-law " Angelina Parrish. (5) The term
daughter-in-law most likely is a stand-in for step-daughter. In her will written
on October 23, 1754 Mary Mckinnie refers to her daughter Angelina Pope.(
Angelina Parrish had married Barnaby Pope ) as well as her son Barnaby Mckinnie,
and her daughters Mary, Patience and Martha. These are the same children
mentioned in John McKinnie's will except in his Angelina is a step-daughter and
in Mary's she is a daughter, so it's logical to assume that Angelina was Mary's
daughter by William Parrish. (6)
There is a slight problem in that in
William Parrish's will written in January 1636 he referred only to his wife Mary
and to his daughter Sarah who was younger than seventeen years of age, so it's
quite likely that Mary was pregnant with Angeline at the time William died and
when she married John McKinnie sometime in 1736. (7)
