Excerpt from History of the Families of McKinney-Brady-Quigley

The facts and traditions regarding the progenitors of our race, are linked very closely with the conquest of Ire land by the English. In 1166 Pope Adrian gave a grant to the English, based on two conditions - that their govern ment must assert its sovereignty, and that the present Pope and each successor should have an annual income of one penny from each Irish family. From this we learn of Peter's pence.

Not easy to subdue was the sturdy Irishman, and rather than submit to English rule, he was reduced to abject poverty and wretchedness.

Excerpt from History of the Families of McKinney-Brady-Quigley

In presenting a history of the McKinney-Brady-Quigley families, we are assured we have found and preserved all genealogical data relating to their early settlement in this country, and have traced their descent, with the allied branches of each, to the present time.

We regret that our researches in other lands fail to establish a positive ancestral line antedating the Scotch-Irish immigration to America. We have laboriously worked to secure each date of birth, marriage and death. In some instances records have been lost, and where graves are unmarked it has been impossible to determine such facts. In a few instances the author endeavored to secure information and unanswered letters bore witness to an utter lack of interest on the part of the persons addressed. If errors occur in dates they are due to indistinct penmanship of correspondents. Amidst discouragements that haunt the footsteps of the persevering genealogist we have untangled the threads of mystery and woven into historical record a condensed account of our ancestry which we offer to those who venerate the memory of their forefathers. To the Rev. Thomas H. Robinson, of Harrisburg, Penna., we are indebted for the use of dates copied from his "History of the Robinson Family", and to Mrs. A. I. Robertson, artist, of Columbia, S. C., who spends her winters in Washington, D. C., painting Arms and lecturing on Heraldry.
