Son of Thomas Benton Mackey, born in Greene County, Missouri May 20, 1838 to after 1890, Umatilla Oregon and Sarah Ann Overstreet, born about 1832 in Tennessee.
Grandson of Gilbert Mackey, 1805 Greene County, Tennessee to 1865, Douglas County, Missouri and Nancy Yoakum, born 1808, Claiborne County, Tennessee, Nancy died on the Oregon Trail 1882, near Chugwater, Wyoming in route to Oregon with her family.
Mackey Journey from Greene County, Missouri to Oregon.
The winter of 1878-79 was spent near Laramie, Wyoming. In the spring of 1879 the family proceeded west, the trek continued on to Fort Boise, Emigrant Springs, on into Pendleton Oregon Territory until 1890 and west over the Santiam Pass and into the Willamette Valley, where they settled in the Brownsville area. Henry's mother Sarah Jane Overstreet Mackey had one final child; William Frederick, born 11 Oct 1880.
Sarah Jane Mackey died in Meacham, Oregon on 02 July 1890 and was buried 04 July 1890.
Henry Clinton Mackey and his brother George Washington Mackey became well established as a photo studio in Medford Oregon where they started by working out of a tent as early as 1890 in the areas of Eastern Oregon, later Brownsville, Gold Hill and last Medford, Oregon.
POPULAR CITIZEN BACK IN FORM
Incidental to cleanup week last week and the nice appearance of the city it is noticeable that Henry Mackey is resplendent on the streets with his sylph-like form encased in a charming new Prince Albert coat and topped with his almost omnipresent silk hat.
For 34 years past this style of outfit has been his daily regalia until within the past two or three years the veteran well-known photographer grew careless or forgetful at times and for very short periods donned a fedora lid and another style coat until lifelong friends began to coldly pass him by, thinking that another stranger had come to town.
Now everybody kowtows and speaks to the man, a few of whose fine photographs taken in Medford were found recently in King Tut's tomb in Egypt, and greetings of "Hello, Hank," or "How goes it, Henry?" greet him every few feet on Main Street.
