Margaret, this is Bill Moorefield in Martinsville, Va., born in Halifax county. I research Moorefields and came to this site hoping to find something on Nevin McKinney. He married Polly Moorefield on 9-15-1817 in Halifax County, Bk 1, p. 94. Polly was born on 4-6-1789 to John Morefield, Jr. and Winifred Bruce.I decend from a brother of John Morefield's. I am wondering if Polly McKinney was the same Mary McKinney mentioned in a later record as being the mother of Nathaniel Moorefield. (The second o in my family name was added in the early 1800's in Halifax).Pehaps James Nevin McKinney was a nephew of Nevin McKinney.My feeling is that Polly had Nathaniel out of wedlock, ca 1813, and married Nevin in 1817. I am hoping to find an 1850 census for them; this was the first census to name household residents.Bill Moorefield
