u'KINLEYS IN IRELAND.
ancestors of the President LiOed at
BaIlymoney.

Some two miles from Ballymoney, in the
northeastern corner of Ireland there is a squatty
farmhouse. with old stone seat outside the
door, which bears the inscription:
wv NICK, 1765."
In this house many of the ancestors of Will
tam Mckinley twenty-ffth President of the
United States lived and died. The building
which the visitor finds there at the present time
IS than century old. and it stands on the
site of older structure. which also belonged
10 the Mckinley family.
Whether the progenitors of President McKin-
ley came hither from Scotland or were natives
Of the County of Antrim. they were staunch
Presbyterians. The church still stands where
they worshipped and where. at one time. they
listened to the stern sermons OF the Rev. John
Tennant, of Roselands 1t was not until they
cane to America that the Presidents family
turned to the Methodist Church
There are many evidences of the prominence
IF the McKinleys in this district of County
Antrim to be found by the persevering anti
quarian. The name of Shamus Og Mckinley, of
Dewock is mentioned in a contract of 1858 for
the construction of road along the shores of
Lough Neagh. David Mckinley, of Dewock, was
5 collector of the county hearth tax in 17O9. 1t
MAS from James, the eldest son of this David,
hat the American statesman was descended.
James emigrated to the world while still
young man.
The names Hanna and Mckinley have not al
ways been coupled by bonds of friendship.
There was a Hanna who caused the death
sf a Mckinley. At the time of the Irish REBEL
In, in 179S Francis Mckinley permitted his
house to be used by the insurgents as a store
house for weapons and ammunition He was
al ready to take the field against the English
when Captain Hanna swooped down on him
with command of soldiers and carried him off
prisoner to Coleraine. Here he was hanged on
I-ly Z, 1898. The body now lies in the grave
yard at Derry Keighan. The last of the McKin-
ley family left the old house in the early part of
the last century. They all came to America
