Posted by Linda Ellis LIMES My great-great-great grandmother was Mary McKee Limes. She married Harmon Limes on 25 Mar 1813 in Frederick County, Virginia. They later settled for a time in the Highland County, Ohio area. Harmon Limes is shown in the 1830 U.S. Census as residing in Highland, County, Ohio. John McKee and Rebecca Wickersham originated from Frederick County, Virginia and were married there by Rev. Alexander Balmain on 7 Aug 1792. By the early 1800’s, this McKee family had migrated to the Highland County, Ohio area. Per John McKee’s Will, U.S. Census data, and various other records, the children of John McKee and Rebecca Wickersham were as follows: 1. Joseph (b. 1793) married Almira Hutchinson on 17 May 1826 in Logan County, Ohio. Harmon Limes, and the heirs of John McKee (who is believed to have died in 1825), are shown residing in Madison Twp. #7, Highland County, Ohio, by the water course of Rattlesnake Creek, per the 1826 tax records. The same is also true for the years 1830 and 1831. I have long held the belief that “my” Mary McKee Limes was one of the unknown daughters of John and Rebecca Wickersham McKee. Further documentation is needed for proof. If anyone researching the above-listed surnames with a connection to the children of John and Rebecca Wickersham McKee has any information, especially regarding the three unknown daughters, I would greatly appreciate corresponding with them. More light needs to be shed in order to place my Mary McKee Limes with this McKee family. Thank you. Linda Jean Limes Ellis
