1797- |
William McAninch is listed on the June 1797 Tax List in Lincoln County, Kentucky, |
1805 |
as ‘1 White Male over 21’, with ‘3 Horses and Mares’. The Lincoln County tax lists |
|
show that William had just arrived in the area of the “Fishing Creek” watercourse, |
|
since he did not pay Lincoln County taxes in any of the five previous years. William |
|
was also assessed Lincoln County Taxes in 1800, 1802, 1803, 1804, and 1805 [7]. |
|
|
1799 |
William McAninch owned land along the county line between Lincoln and Pulaski |
-1805 |
counties. Three men, William, Daniel, and Daniel’s oldest son John McAninch, are all |
|
neighbors in the same “Fishing Creek” watershed, enumerated in the Lincoln County |
|
Commissioner’s Books for the four years 1802-1805. The three men were often counted |
|
on the same day, and entered on successive lines in the Commissioner’s Books [7]. |
|
|
1799 |
Son Jonathan McAninch, was born 1799-1800, Lincoln County (or Pulaski County?), |
-1800 |
Kentucky. Date and place (Kentucky) confirmed by 1810-1870 census records [11]. |
|
Jonathan McAninch married Telitha Turpin, 17 June 1824, Pulaski County, Kentucky, |
|
and they had (at least) 12 children [12]. Jonathan, Telitha, and many of their children |
|
went west to Missouri in the early 1850's. In 1870 Jonathan, Telitha, and four children |
|
are living in Big Creek Township, Cass County, (western) Missouri, and they can be |
|
found there in Pleasant Hill, Cass County, on the 1876 Missouri State Census [13] |
|
Telitha McAninch died 22 June 1890, (Kansas City) Jackson County, Missouri [14]. |
|
|
Myth |
There is no evidence for Jonathan "born 1793" or "born 1793, Pulaski, Kentucky"; |
|
a. his parents were not living in Kentucky in 1793 (his parents were married in 1796, |
|
in Greene County, Tennessee, before coming to Lincoln County, Kentucky); |
|
b. Pulaski County, Kentucky, was not created until 1799, from Lincoln County, and |
|
c. 'born 1793' would not match Jonathan's ages in multiple census records [11]. |
|
|
1800 |
The 1800 census schedules for Kentucky were lost in a fire during the War of 1812. |
|
The ‘census substitute’ book shows William McAninch in Pulaski County, July 1800, |
|
and Daniel McAninch in Lincoln County, August 1800 [8]. |
|
|
1800- |
William also appears on Pulaski County Tax Lists for 1800 and 1802, which may be |
1802 |
duplicate records for land that is already listed in Lincoln County [6] [7] [9]. |
|
|
1804- |
Son William McAninch was born 1804-1805, Lincoln County, Kentucky, confirmed by |
1805 |
census records for the younger William [15]. The younger William went south-west |
|
to Giles County, Tennessee, and then further west into DeSoto County, Mississippi. |
|
William McAninch (b.ca.1805) died Mar. 1854, DeSoto County, Mississippi, and left |
|
many Probate Court records [16]. Later, his widow Maria (Starr) (Ross) McAninch |
|
was the Postmaster at Loves Station, DeSoto County, Mississippi, 1870 -1875 [17]. |
|
Maria (Starr) (Ross) McAninch died 1874, DeSoto County; William (b.ca.1805) and |
|
Maria are probably buried in unmarked graves in McAninch Family Cemetery [18]. |
