I keep wondering if this isn't the Alexander/Lanson Dee line. That line had a John who had a son Samuel born about 1868. John wound up in MO, Dunklin Co., I think. Could Sam have wound up living w/Daniel because of some family trauma or someone died, and even tho his name was the same he wasn't Daniel's biological son? There seemed to be a lot of that back then. J

Yes, thats Cliff's Uncle Walter. The year of birth is defintely wrong. Myrtle must have been the informant. The census taker wrote Wilkson, but Walters death certificate has Wilkinson I think. if not Wilkinson its Wilkerson on everyone of The kids death certificates.
Did you find the Walter L. McGee in Dunklin CO. MO 1920 census? Walters full name is Walter Lee McGee (Walter himself always used the McGee spelling. Remember, He had no formal education).
The reason I'm looking at this is Walters draft papers for WW1show him as the father of children.
I had seen the census record before I found his papers where he signed up for the draft.
1920 Holcomb Dunklin, MO" Wallter L. McGee, b abt 1887 (Walter was born in 1890), MO. IL-IN. Bertha, Wife, b abt 1894, Willie L. son, b abt 1911, MO. Sam C. son, b abt 1913, MO James McGhee son, b abt 1914, Walter E. McGee, b abt 1916, MO.
If this is Cliffs Uncle Walter; these are children Cliff doesn't remember anything about. Notice that all his sons have the same names as our Walters brothers. James is the name of Uncle Toms son, born abt 1930-32., and one of Merrills sons b abt 1929.
I need to look for these boys in the 1930 census. I did find a notice of the death of a female child of Walter L McGee. I think it was in Stoddard County.I'll look for that and post it. Since Bertha has never been mentioned, maybe there was a divorce and she kept the kids, if this is Walter L. McGee the son od Daniel.
Clyde was living in Kennet Ward 1, Dunklin, MO, He is listed there age 25, b MO, Mae mcGee wife and jewell McGee son, b abt 1917, MO.
