Kenney Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am seeking information on either Jordan Calvin Kenney, born (I believe) in Tennessee on July 22, 1892 or his wife, Minnie Sue Cocke, born in Forest Hill. No dob, but she passed in 1962. They are my great-grandparents and much of our family history has been lost. I was hoping to find out if Jordan had siblings and/or his parents names. Minnie Sue, I believe had 2 sisters, Marie and Sidney. Marie was a little person and Sidney married into the Bell family in Mississippi. I have been told Minnie Sue was Cherokee, but cannot confirm. The only child born to Minnie Sue and Jordan was my grandfather, Jordan Calvin Kenney, Jr in 10/12/1925 and in his 20's, he lived for a time in E. St Louis, Illinois before returning to Memphis, Tenn. Also important to note was that Jorden Calvin Jr. often went by the nickname of "Mike". Jordan Calvin Kenney, Jr. married Shirley Ann Chrestman, producing 2 son's, Michael and Terry. Shirley and Jordan later divorced. As of this writing, all but my father, Michael Kenney, are deceased. After serving in the Vietnam War, Michael married and moved to NJ. As of this time, my brothers are the only 2 Kenney's carrying on the name. Please send and info if you believe you may have a connection. I never really knew my father's side of the family and all of my direct descendants left little history.
