"Robert McKee and his
young family settled in Back Creek Valley (Frederick County, Virginia)
during the mid-1760's. " "Robert McKee was born circa
1738 in Ireland, and died Oct. 16, 1800 on Timber Ridge. His first
wife, and mother of his children, was named Elizabeth (Ferguson).
She was born circa 1740 and died March 15, 1790. In 1775, they
bought 414 acres in the Isaac Creek watershed adjoining
lands......" "After Elizabeth's death, Robert married
second to Susannah (Harris) Dalby, Jan. 23, 1793."
"Susannah was the widow of Richard Dalby, and mother to numerous
Dalby children in the Back Creek Valley." |

 In
1971, Loren McKee of Davenport, Iowa worked in
collaboration with Mr. and Mrs. Gerald McKee and
Elsie McKee Petznick Wenzel (my paternal
grandmother) to compile the McKee family tree
book. This book has been a great
source of McKee information throughout the years. |

 Recently,
I was contacted by a distant McKee cousin (Melody
McKinley) who told me about a book that was
published by a Wilmer L. Kerns, Ph.D. entitled, Frederick
County, Virginia, Settlement and Some First Families
of Back Creek Valley, 1730 - 1830. Chapter
21 is about the Robert McKee family and clarifies
some inaccuracies in the McKee book (above). |
