PRICE Albany, Oregon July, 2010 This book has been a source of valuable genealogical information since my Dad gave me a copy a number of years ago. As it was never formally published and only twenty eight copies were produced, I decided to make this information more widely available to the public by creating this edited and digitized edition. The original information was a little hard to follow, so I have restructured it in a manner that makes the flow of families much easier to discern. The original format has been retained, but each descendant of the three families is assigned a number which makes it easier to find where they are listed as a child and where they are listed as a parent. Some changes have been made to correct logical inconsistencies. This book was written before the internet was available. Much more information on these families can probably be found. For the on-line edition, I have included the vital statistics only for persons who have been born in the last seventy-two years which is the census standard, unless their deaths have been documented. As future editions are released, I will include this information as well as the results of additional research. Information added by myself will be italicized.

Additions may be made. I am indebted for research done by the James McKinley, Richard Anderson Jeffries, and Joseph Price families; to genealogist William C. Smith of Washington D. C, Mrs. Eddleman of Springfield, Kentucky, Mrs. Botts of Columbia, Missouri, 26 relatives, and other sources for data received. Most states do not have records prior to 1900 or their staffs are such that they have no time for genealogical research. Census 1840 in Russell County, Kentucky: Solomon McKinley: Males 2 under 5, 1 5-10, 1 10-15, 1 15-20, 1 30-40, female 1 10-15, --page 23. James McKinley: Males 1 5-10, 1 10-15, 1 15-20, 1 40-50, females 1 15-20, 1 20-30, 1 50-60. Peter McKinley: Males 2 under 5, 2 5-10, 1 30-40, female 1 30-40. Library, Carroll County, Missouri marriages (1833-1852) Haziel McKinley, by Elijah Jeffries. Putnam Co, Missouri Atlas (1877) Quintas McKinley settled 1850. He, and D. P. Arsissa each wed in Putnam Co. The James McKinley family appears to have migrated from Kentucky to Missouri about 1850. Russell Co. Kentucky advised that James McKinley operated a ferry there on the Cumberland River in 1837. Also Anderson Jeffries (Richard Anderson Jeffries) wed Harriet McKinley there. The marriage bond could not be found. Richard Anderson Jeffries’ time and places of residence are elusive. Except of his military service there are not records of where he lived after his marriage until 1870 census of Bates Co. Missouri. Thereafter he lived in various places in Missouri except for a short time in the state of Washington. To this date the parents and ancestors of Joseph Price have completely evaded each and every source of inquiry and investigation. Genealogist Smith still searching. Genealogist Smith says discrepancies in the records of ancestors is not uncommon. When the research was completed a printer examined it for the purpose of publishing a book. He advises that a book is quite expensive and that typed and copied pages in a binder are much better. I have over 2400 sheets prepared in 28 binders to be mailed. Hope something of interest is present in this binder. Sincerely Charles Everett Jeffries P.S.
