I'm in California, so not a local. Most North Georgians didn't serve in the Union Army. If yours did, you could seek a Federal Pension from the National Archives. Some former Union County residents (Nicholsons) who had moved to Polk Co. Tenn. did serve for the Union. Others may have went across lines to serve. Suggest every one check for genealogical resources in their local libraries. LDS libraries are only one source, but the folks at those libraries know others and can refer you. I took the notes on McBee from a book in a genealogical section of a public library years ago, while looking for such names as Nicholson (Edward L.) and Chastain (Rainey) which were listed among his comrades.

Hi Gary, I don't know if this will help or not but I thought I'd bring it up just in case you need some leads on the McBEEs. John AKINS, Sr. who d. 1863 Union Co., GA was a grandchild of Lewis AKINS who died 1791 in Laurens Co., SC. Several of Lewis' sons served in the Rev. War, one of them was John AKINS' father, Ezekiel AKINS b. 1760. I'm not looking directly at my AKINS Rev. War resources, but several of Lewis' sons served under with Col. Varney McBEE. I believe it was this same McBEE that witnessed several documents with or for Lewis AKINS in Laurens Co., SC. I understand they were friends and neighbors. So, I have wondered if the Union Co., GA McBEEs came from Laurens Co. Just a wee thought..... Happy Hunting, CAT Gary Pinson wrote: > I'm in California, so not a local.
