Rick, I don't mean to be nosy, but just thought that I would help out a bit. I found this in the book - Extracts of "Wills-Estate Settlements and Guardian Bonds of Hardeman Co TN" John McGee - Will - Bk 3 pg 111 John McGee WILL 6 July 1836 Wife: Nancy McGee children: does not name Exec: Wf. Nancy and her father John Murphy Wits: E. D. Tarver and Will Sanders John McGee (seal) Recorded: date not given ************************************************************ John McGee - Estate - Bk 4 pg 160 John McGee Estate Exec: Charles Murphy ************************************************************ John McGee - Estate - Bk 4 pg 40 John McGee dec'd 19 Jan 1846 Years allowance to Widow White, Mrs. Francis White widow of W. C. White, dec'd. Administrator: Charles Murphy Comm: Thomas B. Norment, James S. Bagley and W. Harris ************************************************************* John McGee - Estate - Bk 4 pg 273 March Term 1848 John McGee dec'd Estate Exec: Charles Murphy ************************************************************** Mrs. Nancy McGee - H = (heir) Bk 5 pg 53 Charles W. McGee 15 Nov 1854 Mother: Nancy McGee Exec: Nancy McGee Wits: J. J. Polk and D. S. Wood C. W. McGee (seal) Recorded : May Term 1855 ************************************************************** So Rick - it looks to me like the only child mentioned that I can find is Charles W. McGee whose Will is that one above with his mother as the Executor, with him dying prior to Nov 15, 1854 I looked in the other books that I own - "The Hardeman Free Press 1895-1918" "The Bolivar Bulletin Vol 1 1866-1900" and "Hardeman County Historical Sketches" and then the new book I just got "Wills and Settlements" that I mentioned above. If there is anything else that I can do for you, let me know. Mindy Thompson [email protected]
