Hi,
I'm researching the Goines line that includes William McKinley Goines. I have followed the line bach to Alexander in NC. One of my remaining issues is William's middle name McKinley. I have not see it in any records, but have seen several web sites that use McKinley as his middle name. Do you have a document that would support the middle name.
I have a similar problem with William's father, William Goines. I have several documents that identify his father as William but none of them include a middle name or initial. Some researchers have used a middle name 'Henry'. However, none offer evidence to support the name. The problem in this case is that there was another William Goins that is documented with the middle name Henry. Both men can be found in the 1880 census. Do you have anything to document the father's middle name as Henry?
Finally, my research is on-line and William McKinley Goines' page is at:
