McKee who's father was William McKee that was in Bienville and Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. Many have mistaken the name for McRee. In fact the family has been indexed in a number of the records in Claiborne Parish as McRee. Do you think that could be the ones you are looking. Samuel McKee's probate is filed in Claiborne Parish. His father William McKee was the one that filed it. Samuel had died in the Civil War. Sarah Jane McKee, his suppose daughter, was my ggrandmother. I say suppose because she was really not his daughter as she was born one year and ten months after his death. We believe that Lemual Andrew Craighead was her father as Sarah Jane's mother married Mr. Craighead after he returned from the war. Lemual was in the same regiment as Samuel McKee and had come home from the war and gave Samuel's wife the news that her husband had been killed. If you think these are yours will be glad to exchange information with you. Wanda Head Shreveport, LA
