My James McKee was born about 1780, his age given as 69 in 1850 and other census records confirming that. What was the birthdate of the Ambrose McKee who married Sallie Bain? Could my James be a brother?

He was the son of AMBROSE MCKEE and SARAH BEAN (BAIN). AMBROSE and his family moved to Rutherford Co., TN from Mecklenburg Co., NC prior to 1810. AMBROSE MCKEE and THOMAS MCKEE (probably a brother) were listed on adjacent lines in the 1810 Rutherford Co., TN - Nashville Township Census. Richard A. Bain dickbain@charter.net
