I feel fairly content I have made my connection to David McKee,d 1795, the Ferry Builder and father of John, founder of McKeesport. However, most lists I have of his sons say my Samuel is a possibility, but Saml died at ae.40. 15 yrs before Davids Will,so I wonder if there are any lists that show Saml., at Westmorland, Hempfield Twp with wife Margaret and all the other bros, except John and Thomas at McKeesport. Others would be David, Robert James, Margaret and Mary Peeples
Saml had a son, Saml Jr, and daughter,Nancy, both who mard. McConnels,, so I am looking for them also. Their son was James MCKee,b 1803, a tanner who moved a lot with his 12 kids, and he with wife Margaret Pierce, died in Freeport, Ill. He surely still has a lot of family there She was also from Westm.-Armstrong Co. Pa.was dtr. of Peter Pierce, and all the families intermarried often. James parents, Sam Jr. and Margaret, got Samls farm in 1814, but I feel certain the children shown for them is not correct. Nancy never shows up on any record I have, but they didn't show spouses on deeds back then.

What I have in the Book of McKee, taken from the Annals of Pennsylvania, Vol 2, Pages 261, 262 is
David McKee, wife Margaret, children John, Thomas, Robert, David Jr, Mary, Margaret and James.

From his research, correspondence and such, the author Raymond W McKee "from the very sketchy Family Tree I have been able to prepare for this sept, it will be seen that David McKee's immediate family seems to have be constituted thus:- David McKee, wife Margaret. John, Thomas, Robert, David Jr, Elizabeth and Mary.

His will mentions John, his wife Margaret, Robert and his children David, Robert; son David (and his children James, Sarah John and David); James, daughter Mary, daughter Margaret.

This was from the 1954 publication Book of McKee-maybe research that came to lite later revealed something else....

I would like to add to Kevin's message about David McKee, the immigrant, that tho his Will of 1795 names the son's of Robert, it does not mention Robert and wife, Susanna, nor their 2 daughters. Robert died in 1782. Nor is my Sam'l mentioned, who perhaps was not a son. He died in 1780, and his 6 minor children are now grown.
I mention this, only because there are two Roberts, the other is Capt. Robert, wife Elizabeth, d. 1813.I am trying to prove Saml. is a brother of the 1st. Robt. I have to deal with the fact that Sgt. Saml. and Capt. Robt. "brothers" are buried together in the old McKee cemetery no of Greensburg. Does anyone know of those graves? What other McKee are buried there?
