I have seen inquires on the McKee line........in Licking and Muskingum Counties......I got this from a mailing site (I am researching McGee). Maybe there is something that will help here? ======== I went over this family some time ago, Daniel McGee met and married a Widow, Catharine Wills. She had several children with her first Johanne Wills who died in 1793, and 2 sons with Daniel McGee who died in 1805. The 1800 census of Lincoln Co., NC lists Daniel McGee age 26-45 Conrad, male, age 0-10 3 females age 0-10 (Barbara Wills and two McGee girls) Daniel Will, male age 10-16 Female age 26-45, (Catherine) Little is known about Daniel. He had a brother named Thomas McGee, esquire. The 1790 census lists Thomas McGee with 2 males over 16 and 2 females over 16. Daniel was not listed separately in the census, so the writer who gave this information thinks Daniel was one of the 16 year old males in Thomas' household, saying they were probably brothers. I am interested in this family, because MY Daniel. Cliffs grandfather lived at Arab, and Marble Hill plus most of the other small communities in a 15-20 mile radius of McGee MO. The writer of this information told me that the two McGee girls (I think it meant the daughters of Daniel and Catharine, married Louis and Richard Cato. Clifford's aunt, Jessie Alberta McGee was married in the home of her uncle; L.Cato. I'm hoping a known male member of this McGee Missouri family has done the DNA testing so I can know whether or not they are actually McGehees. The Author of "Lost Family, Lost Cause" is Ivan McKee. Ivan is related to the McGee, MO McGee family. Like you, Pat I have tried to research this family, because of their close proximity to my family. Elizabeth (Sisson) McGhee "C. ELIZABETH McGhee" <[email protected]> wrote: I can buy that easily enough. There are McGees and McKees who intermarried in Wayne County, MO. This would be the McGee family that gave their name to the community of McGee. One of the McGee descendants sent me the McGee Ancestry. I'll look it up and see if you have information on this line. Elizabeth [email protected] wrote: Elizabeth, I have an idea but it is just guessing. Since McKey and McKee (not McKay) were most like McGee's etc.it could be the first cousin syndrom.LOL. I know in the earlier years it was Very common for 1st cousins to marry. In fact my trees don't fork. But later when Plecker and others came on the scene it also became a law that 1st cousins could NOT marry. Soooo I think they got creative and altered the spellings to allow them to marry anyway. Just a guess.
