MARY WININGER (32.5) is the daughter of David and Martha Wininger.  Mary was born in 1804 in Virginia.  On December 22, 1824, Mary “Polly” Wininger married Burgess Isaac McKinsey in Scott County, Virginia.  Burgess was born in 1802 in Virginia and is the son of Greenberry G. McKinsey and Rebecca (Blair) McKinsey.  There appears to be two common spellings of Burgess’ last name.  The marriage record as well as four census records have the spelling of “McKinsey” or “McKensey.”  However, the 1865 deed as well as most descendants use the spelling of “McKenzie.”  Burgess McKinsey’s sister, Nancy McKinsey, married Mary Wininger’s brother, Elijah Jasper Wininger (32.2).  Burgess and Mary McKinsey were the parents of at least eleven children:

  Daughter, b. 1820 - 1825, Scott County, Virginia
  Malinda McKinsey (32.5.2), b. 1826, Scott County, Virginia
  Lucinda McKinsey (32.5.3), b. February 19, 1830, Scott County, Virginia
  George W. McKinsey (32.5.4), b. 1829, Scott County, Virginia
  Daughter, b. 1830 - 1835, Scott County, Virginia
  Son, b. 1830 - 1835, Scott County, Virginia
  Martha Ann McKinsey (32.5.7), b. December, 1834, Scott County, Virginia
  David McKinsey (32.5.8), b. October 6, 1836, Scott County, Virginia
  John Perkins McKinsey (32.5.9), b. October 14, 1838, Scott County, Virginia
  Rebecca McKinsey, b. 1842, Scott County, Virginia
  Mary Elizabeth McKinsey, b. 1844, Scott County, Virginia

From 1830 to 1860, Burgess and Mary McKinsey were living in Scott County, Virginia.  According to the estate records, Burgess McKinsey died before March, 1863 in Scott County, Virginia.  According to a 1865 deed, Burgess and Mary McKinsey may have had another son who married and died prior to 1865.  This son might have married a woman who was a heir of Burgess McKinsey.  Mentioned in the 1865 deed, was “Mary McKenzie or her daughter Mary Josephine McKenzie.”  This could have been the widow of another son (born 1830 - 1835) or this could refer to Burgess and Mary’s daughter Mary Elizabeth McKinsey who may have married, her husband died and she then resumed her maiden name.

In 1864, Rebecca McKinsey married Charles Hamblin (born in Virginia).  According to John McKenzie, Mary Elizabeth McKinsey married her first cousin, William Haynes, Jr. (32.1.6).  William was born in 1839 and is the son of William Haynes and Catherine (Wininger) Haynes.  The 1860 census of Red River County, Texas shows a W. “Haines” (born 1839 in Virginia) and what appears to be his wife, Elizabeth (born 1843 in Tennessee) living with John and Cornelia “McKenzie.”  However, July, 1983 issue of “The Winegar Tree” states that William Haynes, Jr. married Elizabeth Gibbons.
