Carolyn,
According to "No Man's Land" by Tony Hays, 1986, there were six McGees serving in local units during the Civil War.

Adolphus B. McGee, CSA
J. W. McGee, CSA
William McGee, CSA
Daniel K. Mcgee, USA
Erasmus T. McGee, USA
William H. McGee, USA, d. 02 Feb. 1865

I will have to agree with you that Mr. McGee was a stubborn old Cuss. The late war caused hard feelings between family members and neighbors. I think it caused lots of people to move to TX, AR, MO and elsewhere soon after the war.

David

I appreciated your reply to Janice about the Barnhills and others living in
the Walker-Graham Dodds Community. I have alot of data on the Barnhills,
Dodds, Holts as I am a Dodds whose grandmother was James M. Barnhill (JR)
daughter by Sarah Emmaline McGee. Most of them are buried in Graham's Chapel
cemetery.

I did find out from your posting about their service in Co. G, 1st Conf. Cav.
Reg. I really did not know for sure which side they wre on as so many from
Hardin county were Union symphatizers, selling mules and grain to both sides.
The McGees had sons on both sides and the old man refused to see his Conf.
son on his death bed who had ridden horseback to the rail head in TX, ridden
days to get there. His pa was a stubborn old cuss who was dying from being
thrown from a horse he was trying to break at 89!!!

thanks... I have written Janice directly to find out if I have things she
would want. I am willing to share.
