Liz,

There was a John S. McKee who served as a private with Company I, 3rd Texas
Cavalry (South Kansas and Texas Mounted Volunteers)

This unit was organized at Dallas, Texas, in June, 1861, and contained men
recruited at Marshall, Henderson, Ladonia, Greenville, and Dallas. It was
also called "South Kansas-Texas Regiment" probably because it was originally
organized to serve in Kansas. It fought at Wilson's Creek outside of
Springfield, MO, and in October, 1861 had 38 officers and 669 men present
for duty. Later the unit fought at Chustenahlah and Elkhorn Tavern (Pea
Ridge), then moved east of the Mississippi River. After participating in the
Battles of Iuka and Corinth, it was assigned to Ross' Brigade and served
with the Army of Tennessee during the Atlanta Campaign. The regiment
skirmished in Tennessee and ended the war in Mississippi attached to the
Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. It was included in
the surrender on May 4, 1865. The field officers were Colonels Robert H.
Cumby, Elkanah Greer, and Hinchie P. Mabry; Lieutenant Colonels Giles S.
Boggess and Walter P. Lane; and Majors J.J.A. Barker, George W. Chilton, and
Absalom B. Stone.

In addition to John S., the following McKee's also served in this unit and
are undoubtably related to John in my opinion:
A.J. McKee, Company I
G.A. McKee, Company G
J.M. McKee, Company I
