George: I am a GG Granddaughter of Mary Josephine McKeeby (b. abt 1850? d. ?) who was married to Robinson Lewis Bolles, as his second wife. I've been trying to determine her parents for some time. Here are some notes that I've taken along with a report off of a World Family Tree CD. I believe there are spelling variations in different sources I've come across i.e. McKeeby/McKeebe. I've found an Isaac, Matthew, Solomon and Theodore listed both ways. If you've seen my GG Grandmother in your research, please let me know! 1840 Census, Forest Lake, there is a Dennis McKeeby with a daughter age 5-9. 1840 Census, Bridgewater, Richard McKeebe with daughter 0-4 years old. 1840 Census, Bridgewater, Gilbert McKeebe with daughter 10-14 years old. (not likely my Mary Josephine.) >From History books: Henry Patrick lived adjoining Abram Lake, where Matthew McKeebe now lives. (Per IGI, Matthew had a son named Alfred b. 1836.) Gilbert McKeebe bought the Patrick place about 50 years ago. Of his children, Matthew retains the homestead, and Isaac, Solomon, William and Theodore were the other sons. Note: (book first published in 1887 so, Gilbert would have bought the land around 1837 or so.) Parke Family Record:1629.
