Timeline for George McKinsey and family

This timeline will include a George and Margaret McKinney who lived in Old Frederick County who may or may not have been MY George McKinsey's parents.  I have not yet done that research for myself.  However, I am including them as there are lots of reasons to believe that they may have indeed been the George McKinney who bought the land in SC that I find MY George living on when he was raising his children in Newberry County, SC in the late 1700's and early 1800's.

1771  More information about the below and a map that was sent to me by Bruce Locken can be found on my blog post:

At the WV archives I looked at a book with title of  Frederick County Deeds 1771-1775 abstracted and compiled by Amelia C. Gilreath.  Here is the abstraction found for George McKinney on page 17 of this book:
