I am looking for information on James McKee, listed as a Revolutionary War Veteran in the 1840 census; he lived at that time in Somerville, Fayette County, TN. His wife was Dorcas. I'm trying to determine if this is the same James McKee as lived in Fayette County, KY, from around 1800 until 1815 or so. I want to determine who this TN James McKee's parents were, as I think he may be a brother to my grandfather's grandfather, David McKee, 1767-1844. Will appreciate any clues.

Hello:

I am sorry but James McKee with a wife of Dorcas and dying in Tennessee was not found during our search of the DAR Patriot Index. This does not mean he did not serve in some capacity during the Revolutionary War. It simply means no one to date has joined the DAR using his Revolutionary War Service for membership verification.

Hope this helps and if we can help you again, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards, Jan
