Robert Key And Cynthia Walker Family

Cynthia Walker was born in Neosho Mo.1852 her father Samuel, Walker(b. abt 1825 tenn) mother Mary J.Kennedy(b.abt.1830 ky), sisters Eliza Jane ,and Almira(b.1850 in the cherokee nation) appear on the 1860 Newton Co.Mo.census.Robert Key and Cynthia had 4 children William Oliver Key,(b.12-25-1870)in Grayson Co.Tx.Celia J.Key(b.1872)also in Grayson Co.Callie Key(b. abt.1881 in Greene Co.Mo. and Annie Eliza Key(b.1883)in Grayson Co. It gets a little more complicated with Robert.According to his son William,Robert's mother was married to a man named S.R.W. Julian and in 1880 was living in Greene Co. Mo.(1880 census).Where Callie Key was born.Before that she was married to a man named Preston Payne.Robert Key is listed on the 1850(Fannin Co.Tx.) census as Robert Payne 4 years old.Now the mother is Mary Catherine Mcphail(b.1830 Arkansas).And she married this man Preston Payne when Robert was about 2 years old.Tracking Robert's father is what I have been working on for about a year now.I don't know if she was married to Robert's father or not.I believe Robert was named after his grandfather Robert Mcphail.Some in the family think that his father was Joseph Key,but it could also be William.
