John R. McBee was the brother of my GGGM and was born in AL October 25, 1844 to Jessee and Lucinda McBee/MagBee who were both from TN. The family moved to AR in 1856 and then to TX and then finally to MO.

He was a Confederate Veteran, from his Obituary, "John McBee married our sister Louisa Texana Ennis on 15 December 1866, having therefore lived with his good wife 55 years and during all that time they never ceased to be sweethearts. To this union was born eight children, two of whom died in infancy, but the mother has with her today three of her daughters, Mrs. Fannie Sylvester, Mrs. Melie Wilson, Mrs. Katie Schowe, all of whom reside in or near Waverly this County (actually Carroll County, MO) and the son Chas. S. McBee who resides in Billings, MT. Two daughters Mrs. Sallie Campbell of Billings, MT, and Mrs. Eva Hunstable of Santa Barbara, CA, and whom many of you met when she visited other and father McBee here at the home (the Confederate Home at Higginsville, Lafayette Co., MO) last August, are unable to be present. Bro. McBee's chosen vocation was that of a farmer and he has been a tiller of the soil in TX and KY, but the greater portion of his life has been spent in this county where he has lived as an honored and honorable citizen. Our comrade and his beloved wife came to the Confederate Home from Waverly, MO, arriving here 6 Oct 1917 and later joined the M.E. Church South of Higginsville."

I'm looking to find any descendants of John McBee and exchange information on the burial place of his father and mother.
