Unfortunately, John McKINNEY/McKINEY/McKENNEY is a very common name and therefore can be difficult to research. But you should be able to find your grandmother as a young child living in her father's household in the 1920 census. Then work backward using the 1910 census, 1900 census etc.
Then you may have to use court records and deeds to try to separate your John McKINNEY from all the others.
There is no indication now that he was the same as the one who lived in Gallatin/Carroll county in 1850. But we can always hope that your research leads there.
