Hello, just wondering if I may be related. My gr-gr grandfather was Phillip McKee (son of Terrence) who was born in 1821 in County Armaugh (Keady Parish). My dad died almost 3 years ago and I have a passion to collect McKee glass (mostly jadeite). I just stumbled upon this site.
Thank you & God Bless. Sue Schodron (Wisconsin)
