About The McKimmy Family
Starts with James & Jean (Fraser) McKimmy of: Rathen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
who had at least 7 children. Believe we descend from their son James McKimmy
born about 1743? McKimmy's can trace their Ancestry so-far to: A James &
Mary Elizabeth (Wilt) McKimmy (Granddaughter of: Michael & Susanna ? Wilt) of:
Preston County, WV. They had (14) children. James died December 13, 1871 in
Alleghany County Maryland. James and Mary are belived to be buried in the Old
Maple Springs cemetery, Tucker County, West Virginia. But, (we) don't
have any photo's proving this! Most of James & Mary children migrated to
parts of Ohio then, Michigan. {Around Lenawee & Gladwin Counties}. Note:
Surname seems to have been Mispelled/Recorded from: McKinny>McKinney>McKimmey,
According to Census and other Documents. Though: I have a Sworn Statement by:
'Benjamin Franklin McKimmy' on behalf of: Francis M. McKimmy's Wife Ann(a)
Elizabeth Wolfe. Showing, Benjamin stating: The correct spelling of the
Surname is: McKimmy not McKinney etc. Source: Civil War Pension file for
Francis McKimmy/Francis McKinney. One filed for Ohio and the other for
Michigan.
Francis M. McKimmy, Civil War Pension file. Explains some of the confusion
with the McKimmy Surname. Francis Civil War enlistment papers were typed up
wrong with the Surname as: 'McKinny' which, he signed in error! He often had
{health problems} such as: 'Blindness' etc. & was treated as: 'Francis
McKinney' while in military service. He would often sign his name anyway
imaginable: Despite, attempts by his brother's {Rev. Perry McKimmy & Benjamin
Franklin McKimmy} {Sworn Statement's} before Washington, D.C. The spelling of
the Surname was never corrected to this day. Last, I wish to express (my)
Thank's to all! Who have contributed to this Website. Thank You! Very much...
