I have Caswell McBee b. 1802 and married to Mary (Polly) A Peck as the brother of Isaac McBee b. 1801 and married to Sarah Elizabeth Grubb. What I'm really interested in is info on Burton McBee. I'm descended from his daughter Mary Ann McBee. I'd be very interested in corresponding with any other researcher. Most of his children seem to have just dropped off the face of the earth! Here's what I have on Burton as his children: Burton McBee (son of Caswell McBee and Mary (Polly) A. Peck) b. ca 1824 in TN, d. before 1900 in TN, m1 3 Jan 1849 Claiborne Co., TN to Mary A. Burk (daughter of David Burk and Mary A. Dinkins -- her parentage not yet proven). Mary was born ca 1824 in TN and died ca March 1866 in Powell Station, TN (death info from her daughter Ava.) Burton married for a second time 21 Feb 1869 in Union Co., TN to Mary C. Koontz. Burton and Mary's children are: 1. William Winfield Scott McBee b. ca 1848 Claiborne Co., TN 2. Ava Elizabeth McBee b. ca 1850 Walker's Ford, Claiborne Co., TN, d. 13 December 1899 Lebanon, Linn Co., OR, m. 27 Nov 1870 TN to Pharoah Lindsay Wallace. 3. James M. McBee b. ca 1852 Claiborne Co., TN 4. David Lenard McBee b. ca 1854 TN, d. in TX, m. ca 1885 to Louanna Jones (David McBee listed on census; Ava does not list a brother David, but does mention borther Lenard who went to TX; according to info received the Lenard McBee in TX would be the same age as David McBee in the census; this one is a puzzle). 5. Sarah McBee b. ca 1855, m1. John Wilkerson, m2. 10 March 1881 to John Coppock. 6. Elmira McBee b. ca 1856 in TN 7. Mary Ann McBee b. 10 Sept 1857 TN, d. 22 Dec 1829 Knox Co., TN and buried in Hill Cemetery, m. 22 Oct 1873 in TN to William Albert Mitchell. 8. Richard McBee b. after 1860 TN 9. Margaret McBee b. after 1860 TN 10. Minerva McBee b. after 1860 TN. A lot of the family information listed above was handed down from Ava Elizabeth. Some of it has been confirmed, but her last three siblings are not found in the 1860 census and by 1870 would have been living with other relatives. According to Ava Elizabeth, Burton McBee abandonded the family after the death of his first wife and all of his children were sent to live with relatives. Which relatives is the mystery, especially for the last three children who would have been the youngest. So far I've only found David McBee living with David Burk. Where did the missing children lived as adults is the other mystery. If anyone else is researching this line or any names that might be related to Burton McBee and Mary Ann Burk and their children, I'd love to correspond with you. Sheila Rodrigue
