Looking for:

My great great Grandfather is James (his firstborn son is named Salathiel) McKee born 1803 in Newry, County Down. later married and lived in Missouri and Ohio USA. Any help appreciated. We later find his sister Martha marrying a William Blue (1826.) just before they leave for the US.  She notes her residence as Lisnacree. They have an older brother William McKee, who marries a Glasgow/ Ayr girl and he works as a “seafaring man.” They were weavers who tried several business’ in US but ended up as farmers in Andrew County Missouri. In Andrew County there is a rural cemetery (Concord Cumberland) with many family members possibly from the same Kilkeel area of Ireland. ( McKees, Blues, Browns and others.) We are unable to find any clear mention or census or other of their parents. Thanks, Susan
