My Father was Sonkey Derice Mcabee. His father was also Sonkey and Married Mary Elizabeth Duncan.They had 9 children and mostly farmed. They lived in Spartanburg and Greenville county(that I know of) My gg was said to marry a cherokee named Rebecca. I heard they may have come from Tennessee. I want to know where they came to the USA from. The origin of the Mcabee Name. I have been told most likely it is if Celtic origin. The earliest mention has to be the old testament The Mcabee were warriors. Supposedly after they reclaimed the temple the whole bunch of them disappeared. I know too little to ask intelligant questions. But I would like to know where they immigrated from and when.
