      _______________

      The group photograph is the family of George Pierce McKinney (1854-1931) and Elizabeth Brooks Oakley (1855-1926), parents of Benjamin Franklin Beauregard Sylvester McKinney (1893-1933). Bottom row second from left: Sara Elizabeth (Sallie Bett) McKinney (1897-1978), who married Marcellus Preston Robertson (1892-1938). Marcellus Preston Robertson was Alamance County Sheriff at the time of his death 7 December 1938.

      George Pierce McKinney and Elizabeth Brooks Oakley McKinney had eleven children. The youngest is Samuel Dewey McKinney, born 1899 (the little boy bottom right). Thus, the photograph probably dates from the early 1900s.

      Missing probably is daughter Nancy Jane McKinney (1877-1897), who died in childbirth. Thus, if you discount the grandchild and one of the grandchild's parents, there are 10 children. B. F. McKinney most likely is one of these (would have been around 10 years old, and may be the son to the far left, second from bottom row). The woman with the baby probably is Mary Frances McKinney (1880-1955) who married Julius Fletcher Madren. She would have been the oldest living daughter at the time of the photograph.
