Young Col. John McKinney Was one of South Carolina's contributions to Jessamine county. He was born on the Pedee river, South Carolina, in 1756, and served in the Revolutionary war, first under General Patterson, and also under Gen. Francis Marion, Colonel Sumter, and Gen. Harry Lee. He first settled on what is known as the Butler farm, in 1790, and that year he erected a log house on that place which was only torn down a few years ago, and in this house most of his children were born. His daughter, Mrs. Sallie Cloke, who died in Versailles some years ago, at an advanced age, was born on this farm in 1794, while Mrs. Catherine Brown, wife of George I., was born in 1802. Colonel McKinney was a gentleman of the old school, an enterprising farmer and a patriotic citizen. He removed to Woodford county, where he spent the remaining years of his life, and died at an advanced age.
