If they couldn't read and write, then they wouldn't know how it was spelled. I found Magby and Mabry listed in the same household, and I think in this case, the transcriber read the census taker's handwriting one way for some, and read if differently for the rest.] Our family tradition says the name is "Megabee, but spelled like in the Bible" Now that one is open to interpretation, since I've not found any Megabees, plenty of Magbys but it could have easily been MacBee, Mackabee or any of the others. We took it to mean hard 'g' sound, short 'a' sound. The Magee family originated from Island Magee, Antrim, Ireland, as did the McCullars who imigrated with them, (many different spellings for that one too). Magee has been spelled McGee, McGhee, McGehee....etc...ad infinitum. LOL. What I find curious is that I know Vardry was familiar with some of my family in NC, Rutledge, Armstrong, Abernathy, Beaty, Belk, Chamberlain. He witnessed several of their marriages as a clerk. I suspect that he was connected to the family later down the line, I just can't find it. My Baker gg grandmother was Margaret Magby. Okay, I've bent your eyes enough. LOL.

The only thing out of this that I referenced was the MagBee and McBee deeds from Washington Co. TN/NC. PML searches are provided to the paying supporters of Rootsweb (no longer available) and I always cite the finding in its entirety unless it is a listing of many surnames not related such as a marriage listing transcription. Thanks for your reply though, I wasn't aware of the information you sent.
