I've actually learned quite a bit about him in the last few weeks. I'll summarize it here in case someone else is researching this family or has something to add.
Andrew McKim is the son of James McKim and Hannah McElwain (McIlvaine) who lived in the Carlisle or Newville area of Cumberland Co, PA.I do not know the parents or birthplace of Andrew's wife, Mary Edgar.Andrew McKim was living in Butler County, PA in 1800, 1810 and 1820.He purchased land in Meigs County, Ohio in 1823 and his land in Butler County, PA was sold by the sheriff in 1824.
I located Andrew's tombstone in Coolville Cemetery, Coolville, OH, which says:"Andrew McKim, a native of Cumberland Co, Pa.Died July 27, 1858 aged 84 years 8 mos 22 days."His wife's tombstone is next to him.I could not read it because it is broken, but the inscription listed in "Coolville Cemetery Records" reads: "Mary Edgar, wife of Andrew McKimm died July 12, 1861 aged 69 y 5 m 12 d." [I believe based on census records that she was actually 79 at the time of her death.]
The children of Andrew McKimm and Mary Edgar include:
Jane McKim, b. abt 1809, m. James Hoit
Nicholas Edgar McKim, b 1811, m. Mary L. Whitesides
James McKim, b. 1814, m. Emeline Green
Eliza (or Elizabeth) McKim, b. about 1817, never married.
Andrew Jackson McKim (or McKimm, b. abt 1819, m. Elizabeth Hoffman
I've been told there are three other children, but have not been able to verify that information by any records.The other two daughters are:
Hannah, m. John Sheridan
Margaret, m. William Armstrong
The other son is John McKim, with a notation that he married a "German girl, Chambersburg, PA."
If anyone has any information about these last three, I would love to receive it.
The other piece of information I have not found is any verification that Andrew McKim's middle name is Dobbs.If someone knows more about that, please share.
I will upload my updated gedcom with this information to WorldConnect within the next few weeks.If anyone has additional information, please contact me.
