• Notes

  It is easy to be sure that William K. Finney is Thomas Dunn Finney's father. good records show this. It is also easy to track the fact that William Finney and Matthew Finney are the only Finney families in Lawrence County by 1890. And it is easy to find William in the family with Matthew and Rachel Stevens Finney prior to moving to Tennessee. So, I am confident in the line from Thomas D. Finney to William & Mamie and then to Matthew & Rachel
