On of my 4gfathers was named Patrick Stuart McGee. He came from North Carolina (from where before that unknown) and he died around 1850 in Georgia, Cherokee County. The spellings of his middle name could have been an ancestral surname, and he could have come from anywhere including Scotland. But the spelling still bugs me and I wonder if he could have been, or his ancestors been Jacobites. If so, perhaps there are other examples of this name that could form a pattern leading back 350 years or so?
