Just for a lark, I checked both Infobel and BT <http://www.thenewbt.bt.com/phonenetuk/> for both McBee and MacBee in Scotland. ): Not listings. That doesn't mean no McBees live in Scotland anymore, but none are listed in the Internet phone books, at least. Thanks for sharing your discovery. Now it is in the archives. All the best, Valorie
Today's Rootsweb Review has an excellent article about Genealogical Treasures (by Dean DeBolt <[email protected]>) and what should be done with them -- the author suggests, "donate these items to an archives or historical society -- first making sure that the archives or historical society fully catalogs such items. A key point is whether their materials are cataloged into OCLC or RLIN. These are national online card catalogs that make it possible to find out where information is. I know quite a few historical societies that do good work but no one outside of their building knows what they have. But when an organization catalogs on a national online card catalog or database, thousands can discover family papers and research records throughout the country." "The RLIN catalog is online at <http://lcweb.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/>. Select the RLIN AMC search -- you can search a family name and other terms." On a search of NUCMUC, I got this interesting reference: Title: Thompson family Bible record, 1835-1920. Description: 5 leaves. Notes: Photocopies. Area covered is Morgan County, West Virginia. Bible published in 1869. Other surnames mentioned: Clark, Eckel, Harmison, Hobday, Kerns, Kidney (?), Lutman, McBee, Risinger, Starliper. This is a notarized copy of records from the Samuel F. Thompson family Bible. Subjects: Clark family. Eckel family. Harmison family. Hobday family. Kidney family. Lutman family. McBee family. Risinger family. Starliper family. Thompson family. Registers of births, etc. -- West Virginia -- Morgan County. Bible records. aat Other titles: Bible records collection; 32174.

Hi Bonnie: I do not think that our Thomas McBee is related to Murthough McBee. Here are the facts. Fact 1. Thomas Mcaboy m. Rachel Rilet 21 Feb. 1797 in Frederick Co, MD: wit: Wm. Mcaboy & Ed. Rilet. [Therefore William McBee has to be a relative.] Fact 2. There is a Thomas Mockaboy 1800, T. McBee 1810 Frederick Co. MD. census. Fact 3. There is a Thomas McBee 1800 tax list, Thos. McBee 1810 census Berkeley Co., VA. [In other words, there is more than one Thomas McBee in this area.] Fact 4. There is no William McBee in Frederick Co. MD lists, but there is a William McBee in the 1800 tax list for Berkeley Co. VA. William McAboy d. in 1813 and there is an estate administration for him. Frederick Co. DB WR 33:190, 1808 William Macbee of Berkeley Co., Va. to Daniel James of Frederick Co., Md. proves that he is the grandson of Peter Becraft and inherited the land from his grandfather per his will. Now if Peter Becraft would have only named his grandson Thomas in his will. But possibly Thomas is younger than I thought and was born in 1779 after the will of Peter Becraft was written. I have the will. Fact 5. Our Thomas McBee named his first son William. He named his first dau Nancy and I think that Nancy Macby, widow, who m. Georg McDonald 19 Sept. 1780 in Frederick Co, Md could be his mother. [But widow of whom? Where did George McDonald go?] Fact 6. Alexander McAboy witnessed the will of William Boyd of Frederick Co, VA in 1771. Berkeley Co WB 1:84-86. Mathew McAboy wit. the will of John Dalrymple of Berkeley Co in 1777.

If you are an experienced researcher, for the sake of good genealogical information on the Internet, it is *crucial* that you read this article. And consider linking to it from your own webpages, if you have them. All the best, Valorie Zimmerman Black Diamond, Washington USA Proud sponsor of Rootsweb Listmom/GCC -- too many to list!
