I have heard stories that My great grandfather, John Esco Mcbee, was not a Mcbee by blood, but that his father was a Perry--John or Andrew. this man was living with Mary Woods Mcbee on the 1880 Union County TN Census, where John Esco was 5 yrs old. I have never found a death date for her husband, Gaynum Cox Mcbee,(spelling from the 1832 bible of Mary Wood Mcbee in my possesion) probably son of Robert or William McBee ( most likely William) who were sons of Israel Mcbee. anyone who has any family connections, I would like to hear what you think. I have been told that in WWII a man with the last name of Perry showed up at Grampa Mac's door claiming to be a brother, but he was turned away. I know that his deathcertificate names Gamon Mcbee as his father, but wondered if anyone had ever heard a similar story from the other side? cya LuAnn kluann@juno.com
