Many families went back and forth from Hagerstown/Antietam/Sharpsburg areas to Harpers Ferry, WV which was just across the Potomac. I found my ancestors in Harpers Ferry. I purchased the Jefferson County Explorer CD from the Historical Society in WV. I looked up Mackabee but did not find anything. I searched for McAbee and found the following: 1817, October 8; Farmers-Repository, P3c4 Notice. List of letters at Harpers Ferry Post Office. Mrs. Sarah Adams, Capt.
