Notes

  • 1850 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 27 August, page 295 (scan p 148), Hse/Fam #463
    Mary McSwain 37 F  $300 Real Estate b NC
    Asa A McSwain 18 M  Farmer b NC
    Lucinda McSwain 15 F  b NC Married within the last year
    Zechariah McSwain 22 M  Farmer b NC Married within the last year
    Samuel O McSwain 11 M  b NC

    The Hamrick record of this family in the Hamrick Data Pages, page 75, records three children, Asa, Lucinda and Samuel O.  We are told that Lucinda married Zechariah R McKinney.  It appears from the marriage information that this Lucinda and Zechariah in the census are married.  It seems likely that this should have been Zechariah and Lucinda McKinney, but it is not certain.

    McSwain, Lucinda (~1835 - )
    b. Est 1835
    father: McSwain, Samuel O(1804 - 1838)
    mother: Lovelace, Mary(1813 - 1886)
    spouse: McKinney, Zecheriah R (*1819 - )
    ----------child: McKinney, Meldonia (1850 - 1907)
    --  http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hamrick/wga75.html

    In the 1860 census, we find them in a similar location, under the proper name of McKinney, with two children.  They are still in Cleveland County, North Carolina, but I do not see any of Lucinda's siblings or her mother nearby.

    1860 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 14 August, page 1311, Hse/Fam #966
    Zechariah McKinney 32 M  Farmer $220 Real Estate $328 personal b NC [matches 1850, b abt 1828]
    Lucinda McKinney 27 F  b NC [a gain of 12 years since 1850]
    Meldana McKinney 9 F  b NC [b abt 1850]
    Cicerain (?) McKinney 3 months M  b NC [b abt May 1860]

    At the age of 9 in August 1860, this would seem to indicate that Mildana (Meldonia) was born after August 1850.  This matches with the August date for the 1850 census and the birth year of 1850 given by the Hamrick Data Pages.  Lucinda's age here, though, is 12 years older than 10 years ago.  There is an error somewhere.  Because of the likely birth of Meldonia in 1850, the older age reported in 1860 seems more likely.  This would make Lucinda's age at their marriage in about 1849-50 more like 16 than 14.
