He is an African American male who was born in Charlotte, North Carolina sometime around 1883. He is noted as being light brown. His occupation was a minister. At some point, he left NC and went to SC - which is where he met and married my great grandmother Iola. Any information on his parents, siblings or any decendents would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/topic/mcgehee-mcgheemcgee-in-mecklenburg#post-14 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 08:51:43 +0000 glad 14@http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/ <p>I am looking for parents, siblings and first wife for my William McGehee/McGhee/McGee and sometimes McKee. William was a Rev War Patriot from Mecklenburg and lived about 12 miles from Charlotte. He lived there until about 1803 then migrated to Montgomery Co., TN, Christian Co., KY then onto Illinois where he died 1843 in McLean Co. His know children were William Jr, Mary who married Rev Thomas Tovrea, and Elishua. His unknown first wife, my ancestor died prior to 1810 when he married a second time to Rebecca Satterfield Downs in Montgomery Co., TN. Rebecca was the widow of William Downs who I suspect was also from Mecklenburg. </p>
