Notes
"The McKinley Family" (page 4) by H.T.O. Blue, genealogist and researcher of the McKinley Family from Ohio History Sketches appearing in The Observer and The East Canton News:
"Only one record has been found relative to the four minor daughters of John and Margaret McKinley. It is quoted as follows: 'At an Orphan's Court held at the dwelling house of John Finley in Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania, on the 11th day of January, 1782, before William Smith and John Herbach, Esq., Justices, etc., came Esther McKinley, aged 17 years and upwards, and Jean McKinley, aged 15 years and upwards, two minor children of John McKinley, and chose respectively, Benjamin Pedan, Esq. of Chanceford Twp., their Guardian.' 'On the same date came Stephen McKinley praying the Court to appoint Benjamin Pedan, Esq., Guardian of his brother John McKinley's daughters, Elizabeth aged 13 years and Susanna, aged 10 years.' Thus Benjamin Pedan became the Guardian of John McKinley's four daughters."
