Birth*	Irvin, son of Hugh Brown Downey and Eleanor "Ellen" Corter, was born circa 1868 in Indiana. The Widow's Declaration does not list Irvin as one of Hugh's "legitimate children yet surviving who were under sixteen years of age at father's death". The Recorder obit claims he was living on 12 Feb 1881. This means he would have been born before 12 Feb 1865.      His name sometimes spelled Ervin. The 1880 census lists him as 12 yo in Jun 1880.1,2

Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee^1,2,3

Father	Isaac McKee4 b. 20 Jul 1788, d. fr 24 Aug 1842 - 1844
Mother	Nancy Janet "Jane" Richmond4 b. 15 Dec 1790, d. a 12 Jul 1860

Last Edited

9 Mar 2025

Birth*	Samuel, son of Isaac McKee and Nancy Janet "Jane" Richmond, was born on 3 November 1817 in Tennessee. Birthstate of Tennessee seems well established. The county is much less clear. Loving writes, "I have always heard that our grandfather Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee came to Texas from Carrol County, Tenn. but the note we found in the old 'Mrs. A. McKee' Bible and other information I have, gives Obion county, Tenn". Either way, the county from which he left for Texas may have nothing to do with his birth county.      The 1850, 1860 & 1870 Federal Censuses suggest he was born 1818±1; the 1880 Federal says 1817±1; Shaw says 1818 in TN; our 1850 extract is unclear on birthstate. Ancestry claims Carroll County but I suspect it originated from other sources.5,2,6,4
Baptism	Samuel was baptized on 1 November 1828 in Troy, Obion Co., Tennessee.2
Census1830	Samuel is probably the male age 10 to 14 listed in the household of his father, Isaac McKee, in the 1830 Federal Census of Carroll Co., Tennessee.7
Move*	Samuel moved his residence from his father's home to an unknown location on 2 December 1837. The new location was within 2 days travel time because he began the study of medicine there on 4 December.2
Education*	He was a student of medicine at an unknown location near Troy, Obion, Tennessee on 4 December 1837. The Bible record reads in part, Left his father's hous 2 December 1837. Entered on the study of medicine 4 December 1837.5,2
Census1840	Samuel is probably one of the three males age 20 to 29 listed in the household of his father, Isaac McKee, in the 1840 Federal Census of Gibson Co., Tennessee.8
Arrivals*	Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee arrived at Republic of Texas circa 10 November 1841. GLO file 000051 gives his entry date into the Republic as 15 Nov. First Settlers has incorrectly transcribed this as 5 Nov. Shaw repeats the error. The unconditional certificate of file 000185 simply says Nov 1841, without giving a specific date. The Loving Bible citation gives 7 Nov 1841. Also, Shaw shows this as an arrival in Bowie County. That is not necessarily true. The immigration date in the land grant documents only refers to arrival in the Republic, but not specifically any one county. It was possible and common to receive a grant in a county where you did not currently live.9,10,2,11,12
LandGrant*	Samuel Wilson was issued Conditional Certificate no. 88, a 4th class headright grant for 320 acres, 14 April 1842 by the Board of Land Commissioners at Boston, Bowie Co., Republic of Texas.      Survey Information Survey Name: Samuel W McKee Grantee Name: McKee, Samuel W Abstract: 396 Original Acres: 320      Patent Information Patentee Name: Patton, N B District: Bowie Classification: Bowie 3rd File Number: 000185 Patent Date: 18 Jul 1856 Certificate: 104 Patent Number: 1571 Patent Volume: 12 Page: 58.      Sam's land was about 0.7 miles southeast of his father's 640 acre grant. No specific parcel of land was attached to the Conditional certificate. It was up to the grantee to find their own land and have it lawfully surveyed. The conditional certificate did allow the grantee the right to occupy a portion of the public domain. Unknown second witness was P. W. Birmingham.13,14
Marriage*	His first marriage was to Cynthia L. Wilson, daughter of Joseph Wilson and Sarah B. Donaldson, on 23 November 1843 at Republic of Texas. The 102nd Anniversary article writes, "Only two of the charter members families, S. W. and Cynthia McKee and...".15,2
Event-Misc	Samuel witnessed the sale of two slaves by sister-in-law Sarah B. Wilson on 1 March 1845 at Lamar Co., Republic of Texas.16
Residence*	Samuel resided in Fannin Co., Texas, in 1846. Sam W. McKee is missing in the 1846 Bowie County tax list and does appear on the Fannin County list.17
Church	Samuel and Cynthia and Cynthia were founding members of the Dial Presbyterian Church in Fannin Co., Texas, in 1846.18
LandGrant	Samuel Wilson was issued Unconditional Certificate no. 104, recorded in Fannin County, a 4th class headright grant for 320 acres of land in Bowie County, on Conditional Certificate no. 88 of 4 Apr 1842 6 July 1846 by the Board of Land Commissioners at Bowie Co., Republic of Texas. The survey was completed 1 Feb 1844. Note that Andrew D. Wilson's unconditional certificate is listed directly below Sam's and is witnessed by Joseph Wilson and Sam McKee.19
LandGrant	Joseph Wilson and Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee witnessed the unconditional certificate of Dr. Andrew Donaldson Wilson on 6 July 1846 at Bowie Co., Texas; Unconditional Certificate no. 28, recorded in Fannin County, a 3rd class headright grant for 320 acres of land in Bowie County, on Conditional Certificate no. 27 of 5 Jul 1841.20

Ordination*	Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee was ordained by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on 23 October 1848 at Hopewell Camp Ground, Red River Co., Texas.22,2,23
Census1850	Samuel and Cynthia appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Fannin Co., Texas, enumerated 1 June 1850, as 32 yo physician S W & 29 yo C L McKee. Their real estate was valued at $450.24
Event-Misc*	Sam deposed in an estray proceeding on 16 April 1852 at Fannin Co., Texas.25
LandDeal	He purchased 236 acres in Fannin County from an unknown seller circa 1853.12
Occupation	Samuel was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister in May 1856 at White Rock Presbytery, Red River Co., Texas.26,27
Census1860*	Samuel and Cynthia appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Honey Grove, Fannin Co., Texas, enumerated 11 July 1860, as 42 yo Cumberland Presbyterian minister S W & 38 yo C L McKee. Their children James William "Bill" "Will", Mary Elizabeth and Margaret E. "Maggie" were listed as living with them. Sam's mother Jane McKee lives next door in the W Woodward home.27
Marriage*	His second marriage was to Arabella "Belle" Slaughter, daughter of Dr. Matthew Slaughter and Mary Feland "Polly" Huston, on 1 October 1863 at Lamar Co., Texas. In his will Sam refers to his wife "Arabel McKee"; Bullock writes in her March letter, "she (grandmother Slaughter) married Samuel Wilson McKee during the Civil War." Bullock mentions a Marriage Bond dated May 1833 at Lincoln Co, KY. Arabella's mother is buried on the family plot at Honey Grove.28,1,2
Census1870	Samuel and Arabella appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Bonham PO, Fannin Co., Texas, enumerated 1 June 1870, as 52 yo physician Saml & 29 yo Arabella McKee. Their children James William "Bill" "Will", Mary Elizabeth, Margaret E. "Maggie", Cynthia Belle and Robert Dunlap were listed as living with them, as well as 24 yo Sarah Slaughter (relationship unknown), 23 yo drug store worker Joseph Smith, and 25 yo lawyer Lucas F Smith, and one farm laborer. Sam's occupation listed as physician with real estate holdings of $4,000 and personal estate of $2,000.      Note daughter Roberta is missing.29
Occupation*	Samuel was a physician on 27 September 1870 at Bonham, Fannin Co., Texas. Sam is called physician in the 1870 census and again in the news article about the Savoy cyclone, 4 June 1880. In the cyclone article, "Doctors Dabney and Martin were assigned to duty at Dr. Sam McKee's".30,31,32
Occupation	Samuel was a pastor between 1873 and 1878 at Dial Presbyterian Church, Dial, Fannin Co., Texas.33
Event-Misc	The Bonham News reported on a cyclone that tore through the town of Savoy. The event would have happened sometime within the preceeding week since the paper came out every Friday. Listed among the injured were, "Mrs. Dr. Sam McKee, broken arm", "Miss Roberta McKee, flesh wound and scalp", "Robert McKee, right arm broken", "Sammy McKee, arm broken", "Edna McKee, skull fractured", and "Dr. McKee, bruised". Article dated on 4 June 1880 at Savoy, Fannin Co., Texas.31
Census1880*	Samuel and Arabella appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Savoy, Fannin Co., Texas, enumerated 8 June 1880, as 62 yo medical doctor Sam'l W & 40 yo wife Arabelle McKee. Their children Roberta, Robert Dunlap, Samuel Wallace, Edna, Zack Gay and James William "Bill" "Will" were listed as living with them. The whole family is listed with injuries, presumably suffered in the Savoy cyclone.34
Estate-Will*	Dr. Samuel Wilson McKee left a will dated 29 May 1888 at Savoy, Fannin Co., Texas, appointing his wife Arabella his executrix and heir, to have use of their lands, goods and chattels during her lifetime or widowhood. His children by his first wife, James William "Bill" "Will" McKee and Mary Elizabeth McKee, had already received their mother's share of the estate at her death. His children by Arabella, Roberta McKee, Samuel Wallace McKee and Edna McKee were to be made equal to his first two children. Any remaining estate was to be divided equally between his five children after Arabella's death.1
Death*	Samuel died on 4 July 1890 at his farm, 8 miles south of in Honey Grove, Fannin Co., Texas, at age 72. Bible says 4 Jul 1889; clearly wrong based on verified funeral date.1,35,30,36
Burial*	He was buried on 5 July 1890 at Oakwood Cemetery in Honey Grove, Fannin Co., Texas.37
Estate-Probate	Samuel's will was probated at Fannin Co., Texas, on 26 August 1890.1
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 28 November 2023 re Sam's parents. Currently no records unambiguously link Sam with Isaac McKee and Jane Richmond. What circumstantial evidence do I have?      On the Births page of the J A "Jimmie McKee Bible Records, S632, we find in order Isaac & wife Jane, son Daniel & wife Sarah, then 9 of the 10 children of Daniel & Sarah. Tying Sam to brother Daniel would be a good step.      The Deaths page again lists Daniel & Sarah, with 8 of their children and one unknown Florine McKee.      On the Marriages page are found two records. Sam's brother Daniel & Sarah, and Sam's nephew Samuel J McKee & Ida Scears.      On the Memoranda page are found five death records - Sam's brother J R McKee, his brother-in-law Frank Wood, Sam himself, his brother A A McKee, and his sister M A Wood.      In the 1860 census Sam's widowed mother Jane McKee is living next door to Sam & Cynthia in the W & R Woodward home. On the other side of Woodward are Sam's sister & brother-in-law Mary Ann & Frank Woods.      However, Sam's brother Daniel E McKee is well shown to be son of Isaac & Jane in .38

Birth*	Clarissa, daughter of Daniel Vincent Jr. and Hester Ann Ellis, was born on 6 January 1838 in Hamilton Co., Ohio. Pioneers says Margaret Murphy was Clarissa's mother but the dates clearly make that impossible. The 1880, '70 & '60 censuses confirm ca. 1838 in Ohio. Her father's will calls her Clara P. Bartlett, but doesn't give Dwight's first name.3,6,7

Their children Cora Ann, Margaret Elma "Maggie", John Logan and Charles Francis were listed as living with them.13
Estate-Will	Clarissa was named an heir in the will of Daniel Vincent Jr., her father, dated 27 April 1878 at Delhi Twp., Hamilton Co., Ohio, to receive land.14,1
Census1880*	Clarissa and Dwight appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Delhi Twp., Hamilton Co., Ohio, enumerated 11 June 1880, as 63 yo farmer Dwight & 42 yo Clara P Vincent. Their children Cora Ann, Margaret Elma "Maggie", John Logan and Charles Francis were listed as living with them.

Residence*	Clarissa and Charles resided at 3398 Hillside Ave in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., Ohio, in 1902.11
Death*	Clarissa died on 27 July 1908 in Huntington Park, Los Angeles Co., California, at age 70.6
Burial*	She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale) in Glendale, Los Angeles Co., California. Find A Grave provides NO headstone photo.6
ResearchNote*	Research Note re Vincent headstones at Shiloh. There are two Vincent headstones in the Shiloh Churchyard Cemetery of children of Daniel and Hester Ann Vincent. One, Archelauss, died 1837 at age 2. He, naturally, is not listed in the 1850 Census. The other, Tyler Harrison, died in 1862 at age 21. He is in the 1850 Census as age 9. Other persons listed in the 1850 Census, besides Daniel, are 1) Hester A. 25 f Ohio, 2) Priscillia 19 f Ohio, 3) Clarissa P. 12 f Ohio, 4) Winfield S. 6 m Ohio, and 5) Martha J. 3 f Ohio. It is most unlikely that Hester Ann bore Archelauss and Tyler at age 10 and 16 respectively. It also seems unlikely that both have the wrong mother listed on their headstones. The best resolution is that Hester's age is listed wrong on the 1850 Census. I can't be sure Hester Ann is Clarissa Ann's mother just yet.      There is another headstone in the Shiloh Cemetery which confuses the issue. It reads: Margaret Vincent, b.1 May 1806, d. 26 Jan 1903, wife of Daniel, dau of Robert & Sarah Murphy. Is this Daniel's first wife? second wife? Clarissa's mother? Or is there another Daniel? Our Daniel's father was also named Daniel but he died in 1806 so it's not him. Perhaps a probate record will clear up the question. I don't know when or where Clarissa died or anything else about her. She is mentioned in Hibner on p. 110 as wife of Dwight.

Amos Aaron Bartlett¹

Father	Adoniram Bartlett2,1 b. 10 Sep 1735, d. 23 Sep 1805
Mother	Miriam Marsh2,1 b. 18 Jun 1743, d. 26 Jan 1822

Birth*	Amos, son of Adoniram Bartlett and Miriam Marsh, was born on 28 May 1762 in Brookfield, Worcester Co., Province of Massachusetts Bay, New England. Pease claims 27 May.3,4,5
Baptism	Amos was baptized on 28 July 1762 in Brookfield, Worcester Co., Province of Massachusetts Bay, New England.6,2
Marr-Banns*	Intentions of marriage for Amos Aaron Bartlett and Lucy Merrit were published on 29 October 1787 at Conway, Franklin Co., Massachusetts.7,8,9,5
Census1790	Amos Aaron appeared on the 1790 Federal Census of Conway, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, with a household listed as 21300 as 16+ yo Amos Bartlet. His wife Lucy, son Chester, and daughter Clarissa are probably the people enumerated with him. One female is unknown and the other male 16+ is uncertain. It could be one of Amos' or Miriam's brothers, among others.10
Census1800	Amos Aaron appeared on the 1800 Federal Census of Conway, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, with a household listed as 4101-2002 as 26-44 yo Amos Bartlet. It's a near perfect fit. Clarissa is one bracket too young and the female 26-44 is unknown. Perhaps a sister - Miriam, Sarah or Hannah.11
Estate-Will	Amos was named an heir in the will of Adoniram Bartlett, his father, dated 11 May 1805 at Conway, Hampshire (now Franklin) Co., Massachusetts, receiving one dollar.12
Census1810	Amos Aaron appeared on the 1810 Federal Census of Conway, Hampshire (now Franklin) Co., Massachusetts, with a household listed as 0021-0021 as 26-44 yo Amos Bartlet. Amos is one bracket too young. The children are perfect. But who is the female 26-44? Lucy cleary has died in 1808. She and Amos were married 1787 so no one in this family fits the bill. Is it one of Amos' sisters, perhaps Sarah?13
Marr-Banns*	Intentions of marriage for Amos Aaron Bartlett and Susanna Sexton were published on 5 May 1811 at Conway, Franklin Co., Massachusetts.14,7,8
Census1820*	Amos Aaron appeared on the 1820 Federal Census of Conway, Franklin Co., Massachusetts, with a household listed as 200001-1011 as >45 yo Amos Bartlet. Who is the female 16-25 yo?15
Census1830	Amos Aaron appeared on the 1830 Federal Census of Conway, Franklin Co., Massachusetts, with a household listed as 002000001-00011001 as 60-69 yo Amos Bartlet. Problems - Susannah is one bracket too young but only viable explanation for this entry. Has Isaac Chauncy already died? Who is female 50-59?16
Death*	Amos died on 11 December 1834 in Conway, Franklin Co., Massachusetts, at age 72.8,5
