This article presents the known facts about "John McAninch" individuals (one or more) |
in Kentucky and Tennessee, and states my current hypothesis that this is the same |
family, which moved from Casey County, Kentucky, southwest to Giles County, |
Tennessee. Kathy McAninch, Houston, Texas, contributed original Tennessee notes and |
research, but the speculations below are solely my own responsibility. [1995 /Frank] |
|
Kentucky land grant records and county tax books establish that Daniel McAninch was |
in the same small part of Kentucky (originally Lincoln Co., now part of Casey County, |
formed 1807) from 1799 through (at least) 1817. This (earliest) Daniel McAninch |
(Daniel,
not ‘Daniel O.’) had |
1. John McAninch, b.Abt.1780 [the subject of this article] |
2. Samuel McAninch, b.Feb.1789; m. Polly Skidmore, went to Indiana |
3. George A. McAninch, b.Abt.1794; m. Elizabeth Ross, stayed in Casey County |
4. Daniel McAninch, b.Abt.1796; m. Dorcas Burks, went to Indiana [‘Burks’ /2018] |
5. youngest son, b.1802-1804, on 1810 and 1820 census [added April 1999 /fm] |
|
For reference, there was one other pioneer McAninch family in the same area -- |
William McAninch, b.bef.1765, wife Laodieca Rawson, and five known sons: |
1. James McAninch, b.bef.1789, on Giles County, Tennessee, 1812 Tax List |
Forward Reference: James McAninch, MFHN v.XXX n.2 p.12 (Nov. 2022 /fm) |
2. Jonathan McAninch, b.1789, m. Telitha Turpin, went to Missouri [/2018] |
3. William D. McAninch, b.Abt.1805, m. (unknown) Brown, went to Mississippi [/2018] |
4. Samuel McAninch, b.Apr.1807, m. Margaret Myers, went to Missouri [/2018] |
5. Jesse McAninch, b.Abt.1812, m. Jane D. Staats, went to Illinois [/2018] |
|
John McAninch himself first appears in the Lincoln County Tax Records in 1801, |
as 1 White Male over 21, no White Males 16-21, and 2 Horses [Book 3, p.24]. |
In 1799 and 1800, Daniel had 1 White Male 16-21, but none in 1801; thus, |
|
John turned 21 in 1800-1801, and his DOB is estimated "John b. Abt.1780". |
Later that same year, on October 7, 1801, John McAninch married Patsy Cooper, |
daughter of William and Susannah Cooper, Patsy b.ca.1776, in North Carolina. |
They were married by Thomas Hill, the record is found just across the county line |
in the next county, Pulaski County, Kentucky. [Patsy, updated /2018] |
|
John McAninch is listed in Lincoln County Tax Records in the five years 1801-1805, |
inclusive; in 1803 [Book 3, pg. 16, no. 9] he is listed on 200 acres, watercourse |
"Fishing Creek", 1 White Male over 21, and 2 horses; the 200 acres was "Entered" |
by John McAninch, which means that John was the original claimant to that land, |
as recorded by the Lincoln County Commissioners. |
