Individual Details

Joseph and John McKim were also found in Belmont. Joseph seems to be a bit too old to be a son of David - was he David's younger brother? John quite possibly a son of either.

Joseph McKim married Jane Fippens, 30 Sep 1841, Belmont Co. This was likely his second marriage - his first wife believe to have been Nancy, surname unknown.

A database online, without sources, suggests that Joseph and first wife Nancy had children Sarah who married Lewis Shannon, 14 Nov 1855, Belmont Co.; John, George Washington who married Malvina Shannon ca 1848; Nancy; Samuel; Marcus; and Adam.
By second wife Jane were children Caroline, b. 1842, married John Maywood, 12 Feb 1863, Belmont; Rebecca, b. 1845; Martha J. b. 1847; Maria b. 1848 [died young if she existed]; Joseph b. Feb 1850, David A. b. 1857, married Ella Amanda Coss.
In 1881, when Joseph McKim's will was presented for probate only the widow, Martha, David, and the children of Caroline were mentioned as heirs.

He had arteriosclerosis and died of cerebral hemorrhage. Parents were Joseph McKim and Jane Fippen. The informant was Emmett McKim [a son] of Martin's Ferry. David was buried Scotch Ridge Cemetery.
