Emma H. McKinnie, b. 1872 in Arkansas

Surnames: McKinnie, McKinney, Wisdom
I am looking for names of parents or siblings of my grandmother, Emma McKinnie, born 28 June 1872 in Arkansas. In 1891 she married Robt. "Bob" J. Wisdom of Misissippi in Union Parish, Louisiana. (I believe them to have met in Arkansas). They settled in Bayou Chene, St. Martin, Louisiana and she died 24 Dec 1940. She is buried at Bayou Sorrell, Iberville, Louisiana. I know she had several siblings and she had a large family herself (10 children, one of whom died at the age of 3). Her father may have been b. in Georgia and her mother in Arkansas. I had originally thought her name to be spelled as McKinney because this was the way my dad had entered it into his Bible, but I see on her and Bob's marriage certificate that it is spelled McKinnie. Of course, it was probably spelled numerous ways over the years, lol.

Any help or possibilities would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dianna
