Descendants of Archibald McKee
Generation No. 1
1. Archibald28 McKee (Michael27, Adam26, Archibald25, Archibald24, Thomas23, James22, Robert21 McKie, Thomas20, Andrew19, John18 McGhie, Alexander17, Alexander16 MacKay, Gilbert15 MacKie, Malcom14 MacKay, Gilbert13 M’Kie, Neill12, John11, Iye10, Martin9 MacKay, Iye Hugh8 MacEthj, Hugh7, Malcolm6 MacEth, Hugh or Angus5, Aoidh4 Heth, Malcolm3 III, Duncan2 I, Crinan of1 Dunkeld) was born Abt. 1802 in Abbeville County, South Carolina, and died August 27, 1835 in Jefferson County, Missouri.

Notes for Archibald McKee:
From Wayne Adams
Younger brother, Adam Harvey married his widow. Family bible establishes his precise death date (just knew it was <1838).
ARCHIBALD McKEE was one of the three Jefferson County McKEE households enumerated on the 1830 census. He appears on page 114, three pages after his father (MICHAEL Sr) and seven pages before his uncle (WILLIAM SETH). ARCHIBALD and his wife were both listed as aged 20-30 and they had one child, a son under age 5. In the Andrew Locan McKee family bible the entry for Archibald’s death appears just below the entries for Margrit and Michel McKee:
Archibald (smudged) McKee
Died Archibald McKee (sic)
August the 27, 1835
Although there is no estate record for him, a land record (Book D, Page 137) establishes that ARCHIBALD died during or prior to 1837:
MICHAEL McKEE )
MARTHA ANN McKEE )
SOPHIA CHARLOTTE McKEE ) to MICHAEL McKEE and wife
MARGARET ELIZA McKEE )
Children and heirs of ARCHIBALD McKEE and MARTHA, his wife
The property involved was on Dry Creek (South 1/2 of the East 1/2 of NW Section 23, Twp.40, Range 3 East) Dry Creek is just about a mile south of the cemetery at Ware, MO. I do not know whether the “MICHAEL McKEE and wife” to whom the property was transferred was “Grandpa MICHAEL” (Sr.) or “Uncle MICHAEL” (Jr.)
We can only speculate as to whether accident or illness took the life of ARCHIBALD while he was yet in his early 30s but it left the four young children without a father. On 20 May 1838, ARCHIBALD’s younger brother, ADAM HARVEY, married MARTHA and raised his nephew/nieces as stepchildren
ARCHIBALD’s MICHAEL was listed on the 1850 census heading Household
?
1830 Census Jefferson County, Missouri, Big River Twp.
McKee, Archibald 1-0-0-0-0 0-0-0-0-1
1 male under 5, 1 male 20 to 30, 1 female 20 to 30
He could have been named after his great gandfather, Archibald McKee or Michael’s brother, Archibald McKee {who was named for the elder man}.

Notes for Martha Heather McCollough:
From Wayne Adams
Information from RMM data base – Martha=daughter of James & Sophia Charlotte? Just
Harvey & daughter Jane on 1870C so assume Martha died before 1870.

..The 10/1/1856 land grant registered to “Michael McKee Junior”may relate to this Michael since

acres) while “Michael’s Michael” went to IL. As a grandson of Michael Sr, the designation would
not have been inappropriate.

“Researching Cousin” Maxine Carter, 406 Lueking Dr, DeSoto, MO 63020. Her
line is included in “The Wideman Family in America 1738-1985” . We are double
or even triple “shirt-tail cousins” since she is a descendent (her mothers side)
of Michael McKee’s son Archibald; her Gr-Grandfather James Alexander Wilson
married (2nd) Jennie McKee (d/o Wm. Seth’s Doctor Franklin McKee); and both the
Vinyards and McKees intermarried with the David Wilson family (possibly related
to her Gr-Grandfather).
Child of Maxine Williams and Robert Carter is:
24 i. Janet Kay33 Carter, born October 14, 1947 in St. Louis, Missouri. She married Werner Charles Strickling; born March 18, 1947 in St. Louis, Missouri.
