Hi Carolyn and list, Could your McKee line be in any way connected to that of Clay and Vigo CO IN? JUst on the off chance, here's what I've got: William Ferguson Thompson McKee b. 1818 with brother John F.T McKee found living in Vigo Co. in 1830s and 1840s. Possibly connected with a Robert McKee there found in the 1840 census. John married and moved to Iowa, whereas William (my ancestor) married a Nancy Thompkins in Vigo Co and moved to Clay Co IN. In Clay they had lots of land, a Saw Mill and a bunch of kids. Some names are William, MArtha, Nancy, Robert, Joseph, Arnold. I descend from Robert but have lots to share on others of this line too. Since they lived in Clay Co, its not far from Owen and Robert McKee's daughters married into the OWEN Co. SHIELDS line. If anyone out there can connect let me know.
