Based on information obtained from his descendants, Robert was the son of an Irish soldier who joined England's army and served in the colonies. While stationed in India, Robert Jr. was born. Other accounts state that Robert's father was an Irish Trooper that fought in India and Africa. When he was 24, he married Mary Matthews. The1861 Canada census shows they were married in about 1836, presumably in Ireland. Robert had two known children born in Ireland (James in 1838 and Isabella in 1840). After immigrating to Canada, they had five more children: Abraham 1845, Robert 1848, Mary 1850, William 1857 and John 1859). Robert & Mary lived in Garafraxa, Wellington, Ontario in 1861. They lived in Wellington North, Ontario in 1871. They lived in Luther twp, Ontario on 03 Apr 1877. They lived in Luther West, Luther East, Wellington North, Ontario in 1881. Mary lived with son James in 1891 and with son William in 1900. No death record has been found for Robert. Based on census records, he died between 1881–1890, probably in Ontario, Canada. Based on funeral home records, Mary was buried 13 Jun 1900 in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, although no death certificate or burial location has been found. Siblings: James McKinney (1838 - 1904) Isabella McKinney Rodgers (1840-1923) Abraham McKinney (1845 - 1926) Robert McKinney (1848 - 1938) Mary McKinney Jackson (1850 - 1878) William McKinney (1857 - 1918) William McKinney was born in Feb 1857 in Garafraxa, Luther, Ontario as the sixth child of Robert Arthur McKinney and Mary Matthews. He had six siblings, namely: James, Isabela, Abraham, Mary, Robert, and John. When he was 22, he married Isabella Bayne, daughter of John William Bayne and Jeannet Gemmel, on 19 Feb 1879 in Wingham, Huron County, Ontario. Their first child Jenny Bell May was born in Peel, Wellington, Ontario in 1880. The family is listed as living in this area in the Canadian 1881 census. Jenny Bell does not appear in any further census records. In about 1882, the family left Ontario and immigrated to Sugar Island, Michigan, near Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. On 30 Sep 1882 the twin boys Daniel Herbert and Donald Heber were born there. Clarence Alexander would follow in 1893 and Rosamond was adopted in 1905, at the age 4. (Based on DNA evidence, Rosamond's biological parents appear to be of French-Canadian heritage, possibly descending from Larochelle and McColeman families.) In about 1910, William & Isabella McKinney, along with Herbert (and family), Heber, Clarence and Rosamond all moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. They settled near the town of Alderson. They are listed as farmers in the 1911 and 1916 Canadian census. William died on 05 Aug 1918 and is buried in the Carlstadt Cemetery in Alderson, Medicine Hat Census Division, Alberta, Canada (now a ghost town). Cause of death is listed as pleurisy and dropsy. His wife Isabella would later die on 24 March 1920 and is buried with him in Alderson. Herbert and his family did not remain long, and emigrated back to the United States in Jan 1921. Their other children, Heber, Clarence and Rosamond, all married in Alberta, and lived in Canada the remainder of their lives.
