Tx Sybmitted by Bill Richardson, Richardson_Bill@msn.com MC KINNEY CEMETERY HARDIN COUNTY, TX JUNE 29, 1997, UPDATED APRIL 8, 2000 by BILL RICHARDSON Richardson_Bill@msn.com MCKINNEY CEMETERY is located in Hardin County, north of Kountze, Texas on FM \Road 420, at its intersection wtih McNeely and Jordan Roads. Take Hwy 69/287 North out of Kountze, approximately 10 miles to FM 420, turn right and the cemetery is 5 miles from this intersection. MCKINNEY CEMETERY is a family cemetery for the descendants of James McKinney and Elizabeth Hewitt McKinney, who settled in the area around 1850. Most of the burials here are descendants of this marriage, although a few non-related burials have occured over the years. The oldest marked grave is that of James McKinney, although it is known that burials occured in the 1850s, the markers for these graves have disappeared over time. This cemetery has also been called MCNEELY and is shown on some maps as such, but this is incorrect. Relationships, maiden names and comments are in parentheses after each entry. 1.
