Elizabeth McKinley was the daughter of Justice John (1780-1852) and Julianna Bryan McKinley (1792-1822). Justice McKinley moved from Louisville to Alabama where he was U.S. Senator, 1826-31, 1837 and subsequently appointed a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, 1837-52. McKinley likely moved back to Louisville when in 1838 he bought the home and 102 acres from William Pope, Jr. The Pope house was likely built in 1823 and located at 2116 Edgehill Road which sits atop Lauderdale Hill. That brick house burned around 1860 and was replaced by an Italianate-style, two-and-a half story brick mansion built on the foundation of the Pope house. Justice McKinley conveyed the property to his son in 1849 who sold it in 1850.
Elizabeth Campbell married in 1833, Donald Campbell, of Knoxville, Al. Four children were John, James, Donald, and Elizabeth Campbell. Donald Campbell Sr. subsequently moved to California after 1849.
Another daughter of Justice McKinley, Mary McKinley (1820-81), married in 1839, Capt. Alexander Pope Churchill (1809-78), of Louisville, a first cousin of William Pope, Jr.
Elizabeth Campbell and her four children died in 1842 during an epidemic. They were buried in the Pope family cemetery next to 2134 Edgehill Road, Louisville. The only monument remaining in 2014 was an obelisk marking the graves of Elizabeth and her children. In 2014-15, the remains in the cemetery and obelisk were removed to the Kate Pope lot in Cave Hill Cemetery by archaeologist Jay Stottman through the efforts of the author of this biographical sketch.
