John McPherson Pinckney (May 4, 1845 – April 24, 1905) was a United States Representative from Texas who was shot and killed in Hempstead, Texas in 1905, making him the third member of the United States Congress assassinated in office.
==Life and career==
Pinckney was born near Hempstead, Texas in what was then part of Grimes County (today Waller County), he was raised on his family's farm near Fields Store. His father, Thomas Shubrick Pinckney, was crippled in a farming accident, leaving the young John to take on most of the work on the farm. His mother, Carolene (née Finney), died in 1861, leaving him the sole provider for his father and three siblings. None the less, Pinckney enlisted in Confederate States Army at age 16 and was attached with the 4th Texas Infantry in General John Bell Hood's Texas Brigade. After the end of the Civil War, he returned home and worked as a cotton weigher.
After being elected a justice of the peace, Pinckney decided to study law and was admitted to the bar in 1875, starting a practice in Hempstead. He was appointed district attorney for the twenty-third judicial district in 1890 which he served as for ten years until he was elected county judge of Waller County in 1900. Pinckney was then elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat in a special election following the resignation of Thomas H. Ball in 1903. He was reelected to a full term in the House in 1904 and would serve in Congress until his death.
