From the Spencer County tax records

 

FamilySearch. Spencer County tax records, 1843.

The clippings above come from the Spencer County, Kentucky tax records for the year 1843, showing the McKinley family (here spelled as McKindley), the acres owned, and numbers of slaves. By 1847, Michael had dropped off the tax record, as he had died in 1845. Michael's daughter Mary is listed for that tax year and 1848 with two slaves, and his grand-daughter Lydia with her mother Mary, are listed for that tax year as owning six people.

The 1852 entry shows the three slaves formerly owned by Mary McKinley had passed to Franklin Jones as administrator of her estate.
