   THOMAS McKINNIS, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Oak Ridge, was born on the
farm adjoining where he now resides, in Liberty Township, this county, October
26, 1826, son of Charles and Mary (Vail) McKinnis, latter of whom was a native
of Virginia, of Scotch-Irish descent. Charles McKinnis, a native of
Pennsylvania, also of Scotch-Irish descent, a farmer by occupation, came to this
county in 1822, settled in Liberty Township, and in 1827 took up land where our
subject now resides, in Blanchard Township. His family numbered six children,
all of whom grew to maturity, Thomas being the second. Our subject was reared on
the farm, received a fair English education, and has made farming his principal
business. He is the owner of 180 acres of well improved land. In 1850 he was
united in marriage with Elizabeth McClintock, a lady of Scotch-Irish descent,
whose father was an early settler of Harrison County. Four children have been
born to Mr. and Mrs. McKinnis: Violet (wife of Jacob Grubb, a farmer of this
county), Cloys B. (at home), Alice (wife of E. L. Groves) and Laura (deceased).
Mrs. McKinnis is a member of the Presbyterian Church. In politics, Mr. McKinnis
is a Democrat.
