Mr. Locken:
In Regard To Your Question:
"Does anyone have any information about George's {George McKINSEY} Parents?"
At this point of time, I personally, am unaware of any Documentary Evidence.
ITEM: The Importance of Given Names:
If one works from what one knows and adds the "Tradition of Naming Patterns", one may gain clues for future research.
A Naming Pattern, Popular in the 17th & 18th Century:
Males
* First-born son - Father's Father
* Second-born son - Mother's Father
* Third-born son - Father *******
* Fourth-born son - Father's Eldest Brother
* Fifth-born son - Father's 2nd Eldest Brother or Mother's Eldest brother.
ITEM: The Male Given Names of the Family of: George McKINSEY m Sarah THOMAS where:
1. David P. McKINSEY b 25th March 1781
2. Mordecai McKINSEY b 3rd February 1784
3. George McKINSEY b ca 1791 - Fits Into Above Naming Pattern *******
4. Samuel McKINSEY b 27th February 1793
5. Nehemiah McKINSEY b 1st March 1795
NOTE: The "Given Name - John" found in the Scottish Records as the Father of a "George McKenzie" in 1752 is not found in the Family of George McKINSEY m Sarah THOMAS.
