Paris Wood Hackney and Dora Knox

Paris Wood Hackney was born Jan 5 1855 in Iowa, likely Van Buren county, a son of William S. Hackney and Mary Jane Enlow. When he died is unknown and he will likely remain a bit of an enigma. His sister, Sarah Hackney Crockett, gave him as going to California during “the gold rush”, writing back that he had found gold and was returning by way of Mexico. He never made it home and family believed he had been killed for his gold. My research has shown that he went with the family from Iowa to Belleville, Kansas. He disappears in the 1880 census, but is found in the 1900 census in Murphy, Josephine, Oregon, married to a Dora Knox, and has a child. He is a gold miner. Then in 1910 Dora gives herself as widowed, but Paris is observed in the Mesa, Maricopa, Arizona census in 1910, mining down there, and also gives himself as widowed. This isn’t uncommon. I’ve observed this often enough with couples from this period, that they would give themselves as widowed when instead they had separated…I don’t even know if they would have even bothered to divorce, but I doubt all did. After the 1910 census, Paris evaporates into history. He never made it home to his birth family. If anyone has more information on him, as well as Dora, I would love to have it.

I think it’s likely that Dora was married three times. In the 1900 census, when with Paris, she gives herself as not having any children. In the 1910 census she gives herself as having instead 2 children. We see in the census a 14 year old Olda Jennings whose father is given as born in KS, and Mary Hackney, 8 years of age, whose father is given as born in KY. Looking back at the 1900 census I take another look at the girl just below Dora, a Golda Jennings who is 4, both parents given as born in Oregon, she’s only stated as a granddaughter of the household head, Sarah F. Knox, mother of Dora. I could be wrong but I think she is a daughter of Dora.

Dora married another time after Paris. It was to Isaac B. Matney, b. about 1869 in Oregon. They married in March of 1912 in Josephine, Oregon, Dora going by the name of Dora Hackney. I don’t find them in the 1920 census, which is too bad, I’d like to see that household. Dora died Aug 29 1923 in Josephine County, Oregon.

I wish I had any idea what happened to Mary, the daughter of Paris and Dora.

Dora’s family is an interesting one.

Her father was Thomas Lyttleton Knox, born Sept 12 1824 in Nicholas County, KY, died 1887 in Josephine Co. Oregon. Her mother was Sarah Ellen Oglesby born 1831 Jan 20 in Illinois. Thomas and Sarah married on 1846 Nov 12 in Hancock, Illinois.

Thomas Lyttleton Knox’s parents were Samuel Knox b. 1775 in PA, died 1865 in Hancock Co. IL, and Malinda Doughty b. 1793 in VA and died 1871 in Hancock Co. IL. Samuel Knox appears to have been first married to a Mary Margaret Donnell, and they had two daughters, Catherine and Elizabeth, who married sons of John Sparks and Catherine Waddel. John Sparks parents were William Sparks and Martha Moore, who were parents of George Sparks who married Elizabeth Wells, who were parents of James Sparks who married Mary Ann Ellis, who were parents of James E. Sparks who married Carrie Burch, who were parents of Belle Sparks who marred George W. McKenney, who had been in Van Buren, Iowa with the Hackney family during the 1860s, and whose son, James Albert McKenney, married Vera Crockett, daughter of Samuel Kelly Crockett and Sarah Elizabeth Hackney (sister of Paris) in 1904.

Returning to Samuel Knox and Malinda Doughty. Another son of theirs was William Doughty Knox, born 1822 Dec 23 in Kentucky. He moved to Wapello County (next to Van Buren), Iowa where, on Nov 15 1846, he married Amanda Jane Doughty…yes, a relation of his, a first cousin. She was daughter of Skillman Doughty b. 1797, died 1887 June 12 in Iowa, who married a Jane Downey, and Skillman was a son of Thomas Doughty and Mary Skillman, who were also parents of Malinda Doughty.

Thomas Doughty and Mary Skillman were also parents of Francis Fanny Doughty b. 1786 who married James Mason Ellis, who were parents of Mary Ann Ellis who married James Sparks, who were parents of James E. Sparks who married Carrie Burch, who were parents of Belle Sparks who married George McKenney Jr. So, Dora and James E. Sparks were 2nd cousins descending from Thomas Doughty.

But back to William Doughty Knox who was Dora Knox’s uncle. Here’s where it gets really interesting. The Stuart/Morgan Family History on Ancestry states: “Was a farmer till 1853, when he went into the mercantile business in Abingdon, Iowa. In 1856 he moved to Illinois, and in 1859 he traveled to California to look for gold. Have heard that William never returned from California.”

It’s rather odd that both Paris Wood Hackney, and the uncle of his wife, are given as having gone to hunt for gold in California and never returning.

In 1870 William Doughty Knox was in Virginia City, Storey, Nevada, a teamster living in what looks to be the hotel of Antoine Montoi, a prostitute, with miners, a seamstress and a saloon and bar keeper. In 1880 he was in Carson City, Ormsby, Nevada, working as a carpenter and living in the household of Daniel W. Smith, a tailor.

Sadie wrote that her brother Paris Wood went to California during the gold rush, that he wrote home saying he had found gold and would be going to Mexico before returning, and that he was never seen again. It was supposed he’d been killed in Mexico for his gold.

He’s located in 1900 in Oregon, a gold miner and in 1910 he was a miner in
Maricoa Arizona.

McKenney Bible Images

Thanks to my cousins for sending photocopies of these pages to me.

Lloyd McKenney’s bible was used for recording some family history. I didn’t see it until about 2003. The genealogy I received as a child wasn’t in the bible, it was instead on loose paper, but in the case of the Hackney and McKenney families it was much as in the bible. The Crockett’s went back more generations.

We have a page recording the bible was a gift from a Rev. Paul Barth of the First Luther Church of Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1944.

All the below images link to larger images.

The below page records a brief history of Samuel and Sadie Elizabeth Hackney Crockett, written by Sadie on Sep 29, 1931, transcribed by Lloyd into the bible.

The below page is Lloyd’s recording of the McKenney line from George W. McKenney and Isabel. A good bit of info was missing on the family at that time.

The below page concerns again the Hackneys and also the Crocketts.

Lloyd notes a trip made to Tennessee to try to verify the Crockett genealogy.

Lloyd writes of the gift of the bible to him and that his sister, Thelma, had it rebound for him.

Lloyd’s notes on bible verses.

William S. Hackney and Mary Jane Enlow

The following was written Sept 29 1931 by Sadie Hackney CROCKETT, wife of Samuel Kelly.

Samuel Kelly Crockett was born in Boone Co. MO on Oct 6 1855. His father moved his family to Chautauqua Co. Kans in 1871 and from which time his home has been in the above named county.

Sarah Elizabeth Hackney was born in Van Buren Iowa, Dec. 4, 1857. Her father moved his family to Chautauqua Co. Kans in the year 1872. Then to Montgomery Co. KS in 1876 and to Washington Co. Kans in 1878 and in this last named county Samuel Kelly Crockett and Sarah Elizabeth Hackney were married on Dec. 21 1882. Came to Chautauqua Co. immediately following the marriage and have made their home here. In this Co., their eight children were born, Six of whom lived to maturity.

William S. HACKNEY was born 17 March 1820 in Ohio to William HACKNEY and Sally SHANNON.

He married, 29 Dec. 1842, in Van Buren Co. IA., Mary Jane ENLAW, daughter of Edward Wilson ENLAW and Elizabeth WOOD. Mary Jane was born 15 Nov. 1824 in Ohio and died 2 Jan 1895 at age 70 in Chautauqua Co. KS. She is buried at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Chautauqua.

William S. HACKNEY died 2 June 1881 at about 61 in Chautauqua Co. KS and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Chautauqua.

William and Mary Jane were married 38 years and had the following children:

  1. Amos S. b. 25 Nov 1843 IA (seen in Van Buren censuses), died 26 2 Sept. 1915, is buried at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Chautauqua Co. KS. Fought in Civil War, union. Co. H, 5 Iowa Vol. Inf. Sarah wrote of watching her father and Amos both go off to fight in the Civil War when she was a little girl. He married 20 Nov. 1879 to Julia E. Source for dates: Lloyd McKenney family bible, which has Amos born 25 November 1843).
  2. Charles b. 1847 IA. Seen in the 1850 Van Buren Co., census. Charles perhaps died before the 1860 census. He isn’t recorded in the family bible.
  3. William b. 28 Feb 1850 IA, was married 11 April in 1872 and died 26 of October in 1915 according to Lloyd McKenney’s family bible. His middle name appears to have been France but this is difficult to make out. Seen in the 1860 Van Buren Co. census. Source for dates: Lloyd McKenney family bible.
  4. Parris Wood b. 5 Jan 1855, died unknown. Sarah Hackney recorded that Parris went to California during “the gold rush”. She stated he’d found gold and would be going to Mexico before returning. He was never heard from again. I’ve since uncovered more information on Parris, of a marriage in Oregon, and a child, and possible separation or divorce. I don’t know whether the family knew about this or not. I’ll cover Parris in a separate post. Source for his birthdate is the McKenney family bible.
  5. Sarah Elizabeth “Sadie” b. 4 Dec. 1857 in IA married Samuel Kelly CROCKETT 21 December 1882. She died 22 March 1946. Source for dates: Lloyd McKenney family bible.
  6. A daughter named Susan was born in 1862. She is not in the family bible but is observed in the 1870 and 1880 censuses with the family.
  7. George Ross HACKNEY b. 23 Aug 1864, died 19 Nov. 1890 at about 26 and is buried at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Chautauqua Co. KS. Source for dates: Lloyd McKenney family bible.

William S. HACKNEY served in the Co. H, 5 Iowa Inf. Sergt. Wm. S. Hackney, e. June 24, 1861, disd. July 12, 1861, disab.

THE CENSUS DATA

The 1846 Wapello census shows the Hackneys. I will write of the Skilman Doughty family in the post on Parris and their possible significance in appearance on the same page of the census together.

William’s wife, Mary Jane, and children are living with her parents in Van Buren Co. IA in the 1850 census. William is not with them.

William HACKNEY, age 30, is seen in the 1850 Oregon Territory, Washington Co., Portland census. Though his birth place is given as Indiana, this is our William Hackney. He is recorded next to William Baker to whom his sister Isabel was married. The Bakers moved out to Oregon, as did Jesse L. Hackney.

A William HACKNEY is also given as in 1845 Portland census.

If William was in OR in 1845, then it may fit with the gap in births, Amos born in 1845 and Charles born in 1847. Then William S. appears to have returned with or met William BAKER in Portland OR in 1850. William BAKER and Isabel had migrated to Oregon by 1854.

The Hackney family is in the 1852 Union, Van Buren, Iowa census.
