Posted by David R. Hoffman Samuel McKee was married in Augusta County, Virginia, in 1762, owned land near present-day Fort Defiance, and moved with his family to Fayette County, Kentucky, by 1790. His children were sons William, James, David, Samuel Jr., Archibald, and John, and daughters Jane, Elizabeth, and Polly. Jane married John Story, a Rev War veteran. In the book I trace the lines of William, David, Samuel Jr., and Jane, and have information on over 3900 of their descendants, and over 2200 of the descendants' spouses. William and David farmed in Harrison County, Kentucky, and both died there. Samuel McKee Jr., was one of the first doctors in Vincennes, Indiana. Jane McKee Story lived most of her life in Kentucky, but after her husband died she spent her final years with a son in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Most of William McKee's children moved to Illinois. David's sons and daughters moved to Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. Samuel Jr. had two sons, Archibald Buntin McKee who remained in Indiana, and Francis Vigo McKee, who lived for a few years in Georgia, then returned to Indiana, and went to Texas in 1839 after his first wife died. Jane Story's children lived in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee. Subsequent generations of these families lived in nearly every state in the country. David R. Hoffman
