The information in this document was crated by our ancestors. Originally from across the Atlantic Ocean, moving for religious, political and economic reasonsE FIELDS (taken from the 1979- 1980 Missouri Blue Book) First Farmers The first men who can actually be called farmers in Missouri undoubtedly were the early French settlers along the Mississippi. St. Genevieve claims the honor of being the first settlement in Missouri and accounts of its founding are conflicting. The most commonly accepted date for its founding is 1735 but it could have been as early as 1725.

These French settlers brought with them the European concept of living in villages and going forth to cultivate their land, rather than living on it. So it is that one of the first, if not the first, farming area of the state was "Le Grande Champ", or the big field, near St. Genevieve. Viewed from the air, boundary lines of the strip farms that ran from the bluff to the river can still be seen. The land was not owned in common, each strip one arp wide (192 feet 6 inches) had an individual owner.

In 1978 Missouri owners of farms that had been in the same family continuously for 100 years or more were honored with Centennial Farm awards. The honor for the farm remaining in the same family the longest went to the LaPIante farm near New Madrid, a farm "opened" by Joseph LaPlante, a merchant, six miles north of town, in 1792. LaPlante had a Spanish Grant on the farm and in 1805 wrote the territorial governor asking that Spanish Grants be recognized under the Louisiana Purchase a year earlier. In 1818 Congress did recognize those grants.

Meanwhile, an earthshaking event was to take place and have considerable impact on the settlement of Missouri. The New Madrid earthquake, the most severe of modern times in North America, started at 2:00 a.m. on December 16, 1811 and continued through January and February of 1818 with some minor shakes during the next year and a half. The few available personal accounts of the big quake are still frightening:

The Mississippi River rose 40 feet in half an hour; the course of the river was changed and Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and St. Francis Lake in Arkansas were formed; the surface of the earth rolled in waves; water, sand and charcoal were spewed into the air; great fissures appeared in the earth. Stricken residents panicked and petitioned for emergency relief. Congress responded by allowing residents of the area to trade their land for land in "Boone's Lick", along the Missouri River in Central Missouri.

So, the scene of our story shifts from the early French settlements to a new, developing area. Not that everybody along the Mississippi Riverþ'NÅ

- The information in this document was crated by our ancestors. Originally from across the Atlantic Ocean, moving for religious, political and economic reasons, with a few native Americans probably added to the mix. We have reason to be proud of our ancestry, and should continue to build on their proud history for future generations. This is a record of their names and history, a foundation to be built upon.

As I write this, in 1996, it is realized that many of the problems we have today are caused by lack of family foundation. You can go to the prisons in our nation and not find many, if any records of our names.

Our families have always lived by the golden rule of "treating others as you would liked to be treated". The McBee tradition spreads beyond the Surname it extends to everyone associated with it. Our history has many religions intermingled beginning with Quaker (Society of Friends), Mormon, Methodist, Christian, Baptist, Catholic and I am sure many others. Our being transcends religions, ours is the cloth that America is cut from, the helping of family, country, and community. Respecting and standing up for others beliefs although they may differ from our own. Many of our ancestors came because where they were this was not understood. Millions people, in the world have died in wars because of these differences, many of our ancestors have died to uphold this right of belief, this is the true strength of the United States. As you scan this document please pause and take special note and respect for those who gave their lives, young and old for the bounty we have today.

Special appreciation should be given to Mr. Frank Penny 1/6/1/6/7/4 for his foresight to gather family record and document much of our past and Virginia King McBee 1/6/1/5/8/3/7 who helped compile the original book .

The Numbering System

I have taken the original Book " Out of the Wilderness" and added a numbering system that allows you to quickly connect family lines. It works like this example: 1. William Magbee (The known beginning of the line) 1/1. Samuel McBee (First Child of William) 1/2. Elizabeth McBee (Second Child of William) 1/3. Johanna McBee (Third Child of William) 1/4. Mary Ann McBee (Fourth Child of William) 1/5. Captain Vadry McBee (Fifth Child of William) 1/5/1 Silas Leroy McBee (First Child of Vadry) 1/5/2 daughter, married Joseph Morris (Second Child of Vadry) 1/5/3 daughter, married.- Clarke (Third child of Vadry) 1/5/4 Vardry Echols McBee (Fourth child of Vadry) 1/6. James McBee (Sixth child of William) 1/7. Mathias McBee (Seventh child of William)

President Thomas Jefferson had sent the explorers Lewis and Clark on their remarkable mission to check out the Louisiana Purchase, the biggest real estate bargain in history. Their report only confirmed the tales of the trappers and mountain men. The rush for land was on and the great western migration began. Eastern seaboard farmers had diminished the soil resources of their area with tobacco, corn and cotton. More fertile lands were needed.

The Missouri River was the thoroughfare. Hardy farm families from Kentucky were among the newcomers to establish permanent homes in the vicinities of the first forts along the river in Central Missouri. As to be expected there was occasional trouble but development was rapid.

"Capital" of this inland empire was Franklin, established in 1816 on the Missouri. The town served as county seat of Howard County, which was larger than several of the original 13 colonies combined, and later was cut up to form 29 Missouri counties.

The area boomed. The Boone's Lick Trail led from the western bank of the Mississippi at St. Louis. The Santa Fe Trail first originated at Franklin, then from Arrow Rock just a bit to the west, and later from Independence.

Unfortunately the only physical reminder of this glorious era for Howard County is one provided by nature--the Boone's Lick salt spring where the briny water was boiled down and from where the salt was sent to St. Louis in hollowed-out logs. The early forts and the town of Franklin itself were eroded by the river and in 1823 the county seat was moved to Fayette, some 13 miles away.

Evidence of the glorious age for agriculture that followed remains in many of the fine old homes that still stand as symbols of a gentle, gracious style of country living. Some idea of the diversity of Missouri agriculture is illustrated in a report of Howard County exports in 1898-some years later. Here's the partial list: Cattle, sheep, horses and mules, wheat, corn, hay, flour, shipstuff (from milling), clover, timothy, lumber, logs, walnut logs, posts, crossties, cordwood, cooperage, hides, wool, tobacco, poultry, eggs, butter, pelts, apples, fruit, dried fruit, vegetables, honey, whiskey, wine, nuts, canned goods, nursery stock, furs, feathers, potatoes, fish, lard, tallow, molasses and cider.

Some of the crops that have given Missouri its wide diversity have faded away. In 1850 buckwheat was an important crop. Hemp was grown in Buchanan, Clay, Lafayette, Platte and Saline counties among others and in 1850 the census reported Missouri produced 15,968 tons of "dew rotted hemp."

Flax was grown in Boone, Dade, Callaway, Macon and Monroe counties in 1850 with state production estimated at more than half a million pounds. But a report of that day by L. D. Morse complained that, "railroads, steamboats and warehouses eat up the profits"

Add to the list of early Missouri products such exotic items as silk cocoons (186 pounds) and hops (sold to St. Louis breweries). Hops averaged 800 pounds to the acre, according to census figures but top yields of 2,500 pounds to the acre were recorded. The price ranged from 30 to 80 cents a pound.

The Simple Life In the 1840's, the counties more removed from the major streams were being settled and organized. The usual pattern was for settlers to move in, build their homes, then some enterprising businessman would construct a mill for grinding grain. This often influenced the location of the settlements. Next, it would appear from reading the history of our counties, a distillery would be built.

In these times of agricultural development in Missouri farming was much less complex than today. In many ways it was a matter of self- sufficiency although it was necessary to sell some products or barter for necessities that could not be produced on the farm. Wheat or corn could be ground at the nearby mill and vegetables were raised in the home garden and stored for the winter months. A supply of meat was at hand, or could be had for the hunting, but refrigeration was a problem.

Of course, there were ice houses, built both above and below the ground. Ice was cut from ponds and stored in straw or sawdust. Ice- cutting time was a neighborhood affair and an excuse for a big meal and a social get-together. Now and then, ice would not form to sufficient thickness in mild winters and that meant no ice next summer.

Land was cheap in the early days and only a small amount of cash was needed to get a start in farming. With a team of horses or mules, a plow and cultivator it was a matter of individual sweat and toil in battling the forces of nature. Housing was simple--a log cabin could serve as a start. At the opposite end of the economic scale were the large farms, complete with a work force of slaves in the "Little Dixie" area of Central Missouri and in Southeast Missouri.

It was a pleasant scene if you could overlook the absence of indoor plumbing and central heating. Never mind that insulation was unknown and the wind blew up through cracks in the floor.

A major problem was the periodic plague of insects. The second annual report of the State Board of Agriculture in 1876 notes that a "vast army of locusts or grasshoppers was reported in the western part of the state. They made it to Johnson County before cold weather hit them". In another year the grasshoppers crossed the entire state and, by some accounts, even rode across the Mississippi on logs.

Animal disease sometimes ran rampant. In 1867 a "Texas cattle plague" was reported. Glanders, a horse disease, was another serious problem.

Then there was mud to mar the bliss of the "good old days". Mud was the adversary in the spring in all but South Missouri and it wasn't until rural roads received all-weather surfaces that country living began to approach the convenience of living in town. Early efforts to meet the problem included the building of toll plank roads but these were for main highways, not for the general countryside.

This brief account of country living is included in the story of agriculture because the two were indistinguishable. It can be claimed, with much validity, that the character of America was being shaped in the vast rural areas of the nation. Here was a land of opportunity where every man could be free in an economic sense.

The opportunities did not go un-noted-soon there was a tide of immigrants from Europe. Beginning in the 1840's, the Germans came to settle along the Missouri River in Franklin, Gasconade and Osage counties. Later much of the land originally settled by the French also attracted immigrants from Germany.

Out of the Wilderness by Janice Mercier

In compiling the family record of McBees and their descendants, We have had to depend a great deal on the various families and what records they kept. It was felt that if we did not make some attempt to get down as much as possible of the early legends, relationships and the like, that they would be lost forever in the coming years as the older generation in that area would not be there to help we have tried to be as accurate as is humanly possible, but also, being only human, we realize there will be errors, and beg readers to concentrate on the accurate accountings rather than to dwell on the mistakes which may be found we felt it was important to realize the pioneer qualities of the McBee ancestors. The early families made their own clothing, nearly every family having a patch of flax growing and a flock of sheep. They also raised almost everything they ate, and made nearly everything they wore. It is even told that honey in the early days was so plentiful that it was often used as axle grease. Tea was rarely seen, and very little coffee or sugar was used, molasses or honey being the sweetening used. The hogs were allowed to run wild and multiplied rapidly, which helped the settler. There was also much game of all hinds in the woods of the area--bears, wolves, and even panthers being found in abundance. Also deer and elk were plentiful. One of the other discomforts was the presence of many rattlesnakes. The homes were, on the main, log cabin of some sort, since the area had to be cleared of the trees before even homes could be built. Even as late as 1900 expanding farms meant chipping away trees and clearing the stumps before crops could be planted adequately. These people were very religious and held services in their homes until they could build churches. With their Bible, axe and rifle, they brought their families "out of the wilderness."

PRONUNCIATION OF McBEE

taken from the Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina November 11, 1947

In Scotland, when the McBees migrated, some of them by way of the North of Ireland through the Port of Philadelphia to the State of Maryland. The name of McBee is pronounced as though it were spelled Mackbee with the accent on the last syllable. It is still so pronounced by members of the McBee clan in some parts of the United States. In the South ever since William, Magbee (Mackby) (McBee) took up land in Antrim Parish, Hanover County, Virginia, where he died in 1758, the name of McBee has been pronounced by members of the family and their friends as if it were spelled Mackby, with the accent on the first syllable-never "Magby"

Taken from papers of Bob McBee, Kansas City, Mo. The family or clan in Scotland was known as the McBeans, a sect of the clan McBain it seems probable that the name originated from the personal appearance of the bearer, Ban or Bain meaning "fair," consequently the name is found in many districts and associated with several clans. Originally the MacBeans are said to have come from Lochabar in the suite of the heiress of the Clan Chattena and settled in Eastern Inverness-shire. The principal family was the MacBeans of Kinchyle. It may he that the whole clan left Scotland for Northern Ireland, America or parts unknown. The Belief is that while crossing the water the MacBeans changed their name to MacBee later dropping the "a" and placing the "c" hence the name McBee. The name Is sometimes spelled as "McBee" with a hyphen to represent the missing "a" The McBees have a proud and hard history. McBees have been farmers, military men, clergy men, newspapermen, politicians, manufacturers, plantation owners, frontiersmen, and more. They have played their part in making and protecting that vision of the United States. Theirs: is a heritage to be respected.

THE MCBEES The following is a tradition that has been passed down through the families. William McBee left Maryland and settled in Halifax County, Virginia. His wife's name was Susannah Vadry. They had four sons and three daughters; Samuel, Vardry, James, Mathias, Elizabeth, Joannah, and Mary. At the time the McBees were Quakers, but they renounced the faith at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Vardry and James married and moved to North Carolina. Later the boundary was changed and they ended up living in South Carolina. James stayed in South Carolina, but his children moved on to the West. One son, named Thomas, married Rachel Riley and moved to Ohio. He died in the 19th century, but left nine children. They were Elizabeth, Margaret, James, David, William, Levi, Thomas, John and Henry. The boys and their mother came to Missouri from Canton, Ohio, in 1835. They came to St. Louis by boat and from there they moved and settled two miles east of Hardin, Missouri. The river crossing there was called McBee Landing for some time. That first winter was very cold, and they suffered many hardships. When spring came they planted their crops, but the heavy thaw and high waters drove them to the hills. Later the family moved to just south of Millville, Missouri. William, Levi, Thomas's family, John, their families, and their mother left Ray County in 1852 for Portland, Oregon. They stopped at Fort Kearney, Nebraska for two or three weeks, where they became sick with cholera, which was spreading through the country at the time. Several of them died on the way west and were buried on the plains. The mother Rachel Riley McBee, died and was buried in the Black Hills of South Dakota; John and William, with their families, and that of' Thomas went on to settle in Oregon. Three sons remained in Missouri. David remained in the New Hope area, James moved to the family home one half mile east of the McBee Chapel in Carroll County, near Braymer, Missouri, and it is said that Henry moved to Chillicothe, Mo., and later to Gainsville, Texas, in 1895, leaving no descendants.

1/5 CAPTAIN VADRY McBEE Vardry McBee, b. about 1735; married. Hannah Echols in Virginia, moved to North Carolina,. was Constable in Tyron ( now Mecklenburg) Co., N.C. 1770; settled in what is now Spartanburg District, S.C., but was then considered in N.C.; belonged to the Society of Friends, but renounced this faith when the Revolution began, and became a captain of militia and for several years was in active service for his country.

After the fall of Charleston, Capt. McBee joined the "Over the Mountain Men" in N.C., He captured a Tory fort three miles from his home. The battle of Cowpens, and the battle of Cedar Springs were fought within a few miles of his home. At one time he owned Limestone Springs, S.C. but lost that property after the Revolution, and moved with his family to Sumner County, Tennessee. He died 1787, probably in Sumner County. His wife, Hannah McBee moved to Kentucky with her son Silas. There is a land grant to her of 200 acres in Christian County, Kentucky, dated October 8th, 1799. Their children were: 1/5/1 Silas Leroy McBee, b. November 24th, 1765. 1/5/2 daughter, married Joseph Morris; lived in Lincoln County, N.C. 1/5/3 daughter, married. --- Clarke, brother of Gen. Elijah Clarke. 1/5/4 Vardry Echols McBee, born. Spartanburg District, S.C. June 18th, 1775. (This list of the children of Capt. Vardry and Hannah McBee may not be complete.)

1/5/1 SILAS LEROY McBEE Silas Leroy McBee, son of Capt. Vardry and Hannah Echols McBee was born (probably in Va.) November 24th, 1765. In the summer of 1780, when about fifteen years old, while his father was absent serving his country in Sumter's army, Silas McBee was sent by his mother to Ferguson's camp to reclaim a fine horse which some Tories had taken from the McBee' plantation; he not only failed to get his horse but was placed under guard; he managed to escape from the British camp and after hiding out for a week to prevent being recaptured, he set out to join Sumter, but not finding him, he joined Shelby's corps and assisted in taking Capt. Moore and 97 royalists; he was with Clarke at Musgrove's Mill; he was also with Sumter for a short time, then joined Col. James Williams, under whom he fought at the battle of King's Mountain. After the Revolution, Silas McBee moved to Sumner County, Tennessee, where he went scouting with Col. James Winchester in a few skirmishes; when Zeigler's Station was attacked June 26th, 1792, by a large party of Indians, Zeigler was killed and Mrs. Zeigler and some of her children were taken prisoners; Col. James Winchester raised a party of men, Silas McBee being one of them, and followed in pursuit, which Mrs. Zeigler afterwards thought saved her life. (She and her children were soon after exchanged). Silas McBee moved to Logan County, Kentucky about 1794. Afterwards to Christian County, Kentucky, then to Henderson County, Kentucky. In 1818 he emigrated to Monroe County, Mississippi. Thinking that settlement was in Alabama (the line then not having been run), Silas McBee was elected to represent Monroe County in the Alabama Legislature, defeating Col. Wm. Cocke by seven or eight votes. In Kentucky Silas McBee acted for many years as Justice, and also for a while in Mississippi. Silas McBee and his son-in-law, Thos. Sampson, were on the committee to lay out Columbus, Mississippi, Silas McBee giving the name of the town. Silas McBee married ( probably in Kentucky) Catherine Cates, who died -----, and is buried on McBee's Creek near Columbus. Silas McBee died at the home of his son-in-law, Thos. H. Williams, in Pontotoc County, Miss., January 6th, 1845. When Lyman C. Draper wrote his "King's Mountain and Its Heroes". Silas was one of the two or three participants of that battle living, and Draper made a special trip to Mississippi to get his version of the battle, and Silas is quoted throughout the book. The greater part of the above sketch of the life of SiIas McBee was gotten from the Draper manuscript, at the Wisconsin Historical Society, in Madison, Wisconsin. The children of Silas and Cathrine Cates McBee were: ( Three sons and five daughters). 1/5/1/1 Matilda McBee, married Thomas O. Sampson. 1/5/1/2 Vardry McBee, II married Alice C. Bennett, born 1796. 1/5/1/3 Eustacia Ann McBee, married Col. Thos. H. Williams. 1/5/1/4 Silas McBee, Jr. born in Ky. 1800, married Patricia Mayes 1/5/1/5 Joshua Cates McBee, Married Caroline C.

1/5/1/1 MATILDA McBEE Malinda McBee, daughter of Silas and Catherine Cates McBee, married in Christian County, Kentucky, December 22, 1816, to Thomas Sampson. They moved to Mississippi with Silas McBee in 1818. Thomas O. Sampson was one of the earliest Judges of Lowndes County; first Clerk of Probate Court; and with Silas McBee, was one of the founders of Columbus, Mississippi Their children were: 1/5/1/1/1 Emily Ann Sampson, married to James Henry. They have three sons, 1/5/1/1/1/1 Robert Henry of Pickens County, Ala. 1/5/1/1/1/2 Dr. Taylor T. Henry of Columbus, Miss. 1/5/1/1/1/3 Rev. W. G. Henry of Jackson.

1/5/1/2 VADRY McBEE Vardry McBee, son of Silas and Catherine Cates McBee was born October 10, 1796; married July 26th, 1822 in Christian County, Ky. to Alice Cole Bennett. She died in Lowndes County, Miss. in 1876. Vardry had consumption and went to Cuba for relief, but did not improve and died on his way home; his body was brought back and was buried in Lowndes County near Columbus in 1838 or '39. Died February 1837 (Family Bible) Their children (six) were: 1/5/1/2/1 Ira McBee, moved to Honey Grove Texas and left a large family. 1/5/1/2/2 Vardry McBee, III died unmarried. 1/5/1/2/3 Joshua Cates McBee, married Cathrine Hill (See below). 1/5/1/2/4 Walter McBee, died during the Civil War. 1/5/1/2/5 Sallie McBee, married ----- Warren; moved to Texas. 1/5/1/2/6 Kate McBee, unmarried; moved to Texas.

1/5/1/2/3 JOSHUA CATES McBEE Joshua Cates McBee, son of Vardry and Alice Bennett McBee, born about 1830, in Mississippi? Married in 1854 to Cathrine Wilkins Hill, who was born August 1838. He died 1880 and she was living in West Point, Miss. in 1915. They had eleven children, four of whom were dead in 1915: 1/5/1/2/3/1 Alice McBee, married ----- Vickers, lived in Manor, Texas, no children. 1/5/1/2/3/2 Augustus Ewing McBee, married ----- Clarkson, live in New York. Was in Street-car advertising business, now retired, capitalist, three daughters. 1/5/1/2/3/3 Joshua Cates McBee, lives in San Marcos, Texas, one daughter. 1/5/1/2/3/4 Vardry McBee, lived in Kansas City, street-car advertising, one son, one daughter with his uncle J.C.

At one time he was one of the owners of Dawson Springs, Kentucky. Married. 1/5/1/2/3/7 Jennie McBee, married ----- Haugh, of Atlanta, Georgia. Three daughters and one son. (I think Mrs. McBee had a daughter who married ----- Miller, whose daughters, after their mother's death, lived with their grandmother in West Point, Miss.)

1/5/1/4 SILAS McBEE Jr. Silas McBee. Jr., son of Cathrine Cates and Silas McBee was born in 1800, married in 1822 to Patricia Mayes, probably in Kentucky. They had one son, Vardry McBee of Texas, born in 1824. The mother died while the son was small, and the boy made his home with his mother's brother, Robert Mayes. About 1834 Robert Mayes migrated to Texas taking young Vardry with him, when the boy was about ten years of age. Thus young Vardry McBee was separated from his father's family and they were never again reunited.

1/5/1/4/1 VARDRY McBEE Vardry McBee, son of Silas McBee and Patricia Mayes McBee, migrated to Texas with his uncle, Robert Mayes. They lived near Nacogdoches, Texas, but finally went to South-central, Texas. When Vardry McBee was of age, he married Sarah Vest, and they lived in Jackson County, Texas, about where the town of Edna now stands. While there their first son was born, February 25, 1847. They named him William Jackson McBee. Vardry McBee enlisted in Company "C" Ragsdale's Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army on March 15, 1862, in Hallettsville, Texas, at the age of 38. Children of Vardry McBee and Sarah Vest McBee were: 1/5/1/4/1/1 William Jackson McBee 1/5/1/4/1/2 Isaac David McBee 1/5/1/4/1/3 Mattie McBee (This list may not be complete).

Speaking of his recollections concerning the family history, William Dalton McBee said: "I never saw my grandfather, Vardry McBee, of Texas. He was living with his family near Hallettsville, Texas when the Civil War broke out. He enlisted in the Confederate States Army as above mentioned, and was near Port Arthur, Texas, or in Calcasiau Parish, La. His 15-year old son mounted a horse in Hallettsville, and rode to Louisiana and also enlisted in the same company with his father, and both remained in Texas and Louisiana Coast defense until the close of the War between the States. "I entered the public schools at the age of 6, and in 1885 my father had become inbued with the idea of going into the cattle business in the West. He assembled a goodly bunch of horses and cattle and loading the covered wagons and having herders get the livestock together, struck out to Stephens County, Texas, with the intention of 'Getting Rich' in the livestock business. Successive droughts dissolved that notion. "I continued my studies in the public schools. In those early days I became convinced that the one-room school had its strong points. I took advantage of the recitations of all grades, going to the blackboard and giving of their stored up knowledge, I soon gathered up whatever they had recited, and in that way 'took in' by way of absorption about everything that was taught to the advanced pupils. "In my teens I learned the Printer's trade, putting in a few years 'Sticking' type for the local newspaper. This was at Breckenridge, Texas. "After the stock-raising dream had flopped and we had spent eleven years chasing the rainbow, we learned that a great land-opening was soon to take place in Oklahoma, the Kiowa-Comanche and Apache Reservations were to be thrown open to white settlement. So in1896, my father decided to move to Comanche, which was in Indian Territory, but within a few miles of the great reservation which was to be thrown open so that white immigrants could get homesteads of their own. "At that time I decided to take a course in a business college, and did so at Indianola Business College, Ardmore, Indian, Territory. "I finally decided to study law, and took a correspondence course with a Michigan Law School. While studying law I was appointed Tax Assessor and Collector in the newly incorporated town of Comanche. I made up the first assessment rolls for the town. While at Comanche, I met and married Miss Myrtile Montgomery, daughter of Dr. William M. Montgomery of that town. Dr. Montgomery was born at Glasgow, Kentucky, in 1847, and died at Dallas, Texas, in 1941. He had enlisted in 'Morgan's Raiders' in 1862, and was with that division until the end of hostilities. He took a course at a Medical College in Louisville, Kentucky and practiced medicine for more than 60 years. He was Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners in Roosevelt County, New Mexico for several years. "I continued my study of law, stood the Bar Examination at Santa Fe, New Mexico, was admitted to the practice January 9, 1908; I opened a law office in the new town of Melrose, New Mexico, which town together with Vaughn, New Mexico I personally surveyed, laid out and established. During my first year at the practice of law, I met A.W. Hockenhull, formerly of Bolivar, Missouri and within a year we formed the law firm of McBee and Hockenhull, at Clovis, New Mexico, where we were partners for several years. Later Mr. Hockenhull served as Governor of New Mexico. "While living in New Mexico, I served three years as a member of the Board of Regents of the University of New Mexico, located at Albuquerque. I was elected for a five-year term as Probate Judge of Curry County, the first after Statehood. I was elected and served in the last Territorial Senate. One of the three Democratic members of that deliberative body. "I moved back to Oklahoma, and while living in Duncan, civic clubs and citizens called upon me, insisting that I make the race for member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. All of my demurring was of no avail, and I permitted these committees to put in my name. I was elected and took office January, 1923; soon disagreed with Governor Walton. I headed a move to impeach him. I did not think the State could survive his extravagant administration. The Governor would pull off one bombastic stunt after another, perform unlawful acts of many kinds. He made of his office a veritable dictatorship. Practically all the newspapers complained bitterly against the Governor. Finally he issued an order suspending the writ of habeus corpus, declared state-wide martial law, put a censorship on the press and trained machine guns on the grand jury room in the court house, and at the city hall in Oklahoma City. He put his efforts in high gear, and remarked that he could use a toy pistol and run all of the legislators back across Red River. (The story of this controversy is a subject for conscientious historians, and to evaluate it properly would require a study of editorials and a cross-section of current news comments from publications throughout the civilized world, before, during and after the impeachment. After twenty-seven years, only fragmentary and inaccurate efforts have been recorded by current historians.) "At the Special Session of the Ninth Legislature, convened October 11, 1923, I was chosen Speaker of the House of Representatives, which brought in twenty-two Articles of Impeachment against Governor Walton. The State Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeachment, sustained eleven of these, most of them unanimously. "I am a Democrat, a member of the Methodist church, a life member of the Duncan Lodge No. 60, AF & AM, life member Scottish Rite at Santa Fe, New Mexico, and life member of the Mystic Shrine at Albuquerque, New Mexico. "Two and possibly more of the McBee family have been mentioned in 'Who's Who in America'. Silas McBee (1/5/4/7/4), besides holding many positions of honor and trust, was editor-in-chief of The Churchman, New York, the official publication of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, from 1896 to December 1912. His daughter, Mary Vardrine McBee, (1/5/4/7/4/1), is the lady who in 1909 founded Ashley Hall, a private school for girls, at Charleston, S.C."

Hayne, Robert Young , Uncle of Susan Branford McCall Robert Young Hayne, b. Colleton district, S.C., Nov. 10, 1791, d. Sept. 24, 1839, served as both U.S. senator and governor of South Carolina and was a prominent defender of Southern rights. The son of a wealthy slaveholding rice planter, he was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1812. He represented Charleston in the legislature (1814-18) and served as attorney general of South Carolina (1818-22). Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1822, Hayne became a leading opponent of the protective tariff of 1828. In a famous debate on the tariff with Daniel Webster in 1830, Hayne defended states rights against Webster's assertions of national power. Resigning from the Senate to serve as governor (1832-34) of South Carolina, Hayne upheld his state's nullification of the tariff of 1832 but accepted the compromise tariff of 1833. After serving (1835-37) as mayor of Charleston, Hayne involved himself in the promotion of railroad construction. In 1836 he became president of the unsuccessful Louisville, Cincinnati, and Charleston Railroad.

The Christian Church in Missouri - September 29. 1972 This is to respond to your letter of September 25th requesting information about Charles Rein Schovile. I wish to state however, that he spelled his name Charles Reign Scoville. In 1939 and 1940 1 wrote a thesis in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago entitled A STUDY OF EVANGELISM AMONG THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST. I notice that at that time I quoted from a book, 11. H. Teters. Charles Reign Scoville -- The Man and His Message, St. Louis: Bethany Press, 1924. From this book I learned that Charles Reign Scoville was born on a farm near Butler, Indiana, October 14, 1869. He was 16 years of age when he became a member of the United Brethren Church. In 1891 in Angora, Indiana, he joined the Church of Christ or Christian Church or that part now known as the Disciples of Christ. His first meeting was; at south Scott, Steuben County, Indiana, in the fall of 1892. There were 42 additions.

Further I wrote: "From the time of Walter Scott, to the day of Charles Reign Scoville", he was the best trained of any of the evangelists of the Disciples of Christ. In 1892 he received the Bachelor of Science Degree from Tri-State Normal College, at Angola, Indiana. He entered Hiram College in the fall of 1894 from which he received both the A.B. and the A.M. Degrees. In 1901, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, bestowed on him the honorary LL.D. Degree.

"On October 17, 1906, he was united in marriage to Miss Arlene Dux of Chicago, who was intimately associated with him in evangelistic work as personal worker, pianist and soloist, until his death January 22, 1938. /s Lester B. Rickman Minister President

Footnote on Wilmer Smith: After Corvallis High School, University of Oregon 1927 A.B., Harvard Medical School 1931, M.D., 1931, 1936 Intern Boston City Hospital, Pathology, General Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery, I was the victim of an obscured eye disease which began in 1932 and consisted of intraoccular hemorrhages. This despite the best medical advice and care progressed to complete and permanent blindness in 1943. When I returned to the State in 1936, I took a job with the Oregon Accident Commission and ultimately became their Chief Medical Advisor, retiring in 1963. In 1959, I wrote a Medical Text Book, titled "The Principals of Disability Evaluation" which was published by J. B. Lippencott, & Company Medical Book Department. My brother Loren is a very successful farmer, having some 2200 acres, about 8 miles south of Corvallis. Our father Judson R. Smith, before us was also a successful farmer.

1/6/1/5 JAMES McBEE James McBee, was born 3 December 1810, in Libertytown, Frederick County, Maryland, third son of Thomas McBee and Rachel Riley and died 26 January 1863 at his farm in Northwestern Carroll County, Missouri, while the Civil War was in progress. (NOTE: Family Bible owned by a granddaughter, Silva Rathjen, shows his birth date as 2 September 1809.) James is buried at Tinney's Grove Cemetery Ray County, Missouri and his tomb stone is there. However, there is also an inscription on the four sided obelisk monument at his wife's grave in McBee Chapel Cemetery, Carroll County, Missouri which tells where he is buried.

James was married on 27 January 1831 to Elizabeth Huston in Stark County, Ohio where they both lived. They were married by George Roberts, Justice of the Peace, one of the brothers-in-law of James. Elizabeth Huston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Huston, was born 25 February 1814, near Greentown, Stark County, Ohio, and died 6 March 1893 in Carroll County, Missouri. Her parents were born in Pennsylvania, having come to Stark County by 1820.

The first three children: Mary Alice, John and Levi, were born before the McBee families set out for Missouri, claiming Greentown, Stark County, Ohio, as their birthplace.

James and Elizabeth and their children lived around the rest of the relatives the first winter on the river bottoms, and also moved with them to the area north of Hardin, Missouri, and lying between New Hope Church area and old Liberty Schoolhouse, just east of Highway P in Ray County. The remains of one of their log cabin dwellings was only bulldozed away a few years ago when the land was being cleared by the present owner. Claude Franklin McBee, a grandson in Braymer, Mo., remembers seeing the big hollowed stone with the round one lying in the hollow that was used to make corn meal when he was taken there by his father, James William, to be shown the cabin where they lived years before, when his father was a lad.

Five more children were born to this couple while living in Ray County. Then about the time that the family group left for the Oregon settlement, James and his family moved up near Kingston, Caldwell County, Missouri where he operated a sawmill. By 1860 they were living on a farm in Northwestern Carroll County, Mo., as the census lists them there, with the oldest son, John, living next door on the neighboring farmstead (it is interesting to see that their names were spelled as MCABEE by the census taken, this being a variant spelling sometimes found in earlier records of the family. This is also how it is pronounced by many today as Mac-a-Bee.

James died when the baby, David, was only about 5 years of age, leaving his widow, Elizabeth Huston McBee, to rear the family of seven children remaining at home. The area around Braymer in the counties of Ray, Caldwell and Carroll is still thickly populated with McBee descendants and a large percentage of them are still farmers by occupation.

In 1837 Elias Benner, a Mormon, settled on the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 21 and built a saw mill the following year on North Mud Creek, a mile and a half northeast of Black Oak Village. Benner had his mill built and all the machinery in, ready for running, when the troubles broke out between his people and the Gentiles. He retreated to Benner's Mill, not to be confused with Haun's Mill (see additional information about Benner's Mill), and was one of the victims of the massacre there October 30, 1838. His body was buried in the old well; his family fled from the country and his mill fell into decay and into the hands of the Gentiles.

The first entries of land in this township were the following: Name Description Date James McBee W 1/2 SW sec. 23 Sept. 15, 1837 David McBee SE NW Sec. 22 July 14, 1837

After the Mormon expulsion perhaps the first settlers in what is now Davis Township were John T. Davis and his brother, Samuel D. Davis, brothers, who came from Adams County, Ill., in the summer of 1839 to the southern portion of the Black Oak grove, on Section 29. John T. Davis came first, setting a little southwest of the present Village of Black Oak (E 1/2 SW 1/4 Sec. 29), and his brother first located a quarter of a mile east. The Davis brothers became prominent citizens of the county and were well known and universally esteemed. It was for them, and especially for Judge S. D. Davis, that the township was named.

A man named Oster came in from Ohio to the Elk Grove in 1842. James Moad, from Campbell County, Tenn., was an early settler in this township. He bought a Mormon cabin on Mud Creek, north of Black Oak, and finally entered 80 acres on section 19, two miles west of Black Oak. The first schoolhouse in this township was a little log building put up on Mr. Moad's land in about 1849.

( Taken from material submitted by Scott E. McBee, Kansas City, Missouri ) James moved from Milville area about 1850. He ran a sawmill on the creek just southeast of Kingston. Later he moved to the family home one half mile east of the McBee Chapel south of Braymer, Missouri. James married Elizabeth Huston and had six sons and four daughters. They were Mary, Caroline, John, Samuel, Harriet, Henry, Sylvester, Fannie, Levi, David, and James William. James William, born 1847, was said to have been a giant of a man. The mere sight of him sitting astride a horse was quite a picture to behold. He married Elizabeth Shrum, born in 1858, and they raised a huge family of seventeen children. There were eleven boys and six girls altogether and they were James Laban, George Wasson, David Moses, Carrie, William, Anna, Hamet Elizabeth, Claude Franklin, Samuel, Calvin, Joseph, Nellie and Nettle (twins), Marvin, Esther, John Nicholas and Charles.

Re: Davis Township Caldwell County, Mo. On an 1873 Missouri Atlas, the only towns shown in Davis Twp., were Osterville and Black Oak. Braymer was a planned town and not laid out nor platted as a town until 1883. The newspaper, Braymer Bee, started then, too, but since there was not yet a post office there it was mailed from a railroad drop point, Elk Grove. There were other small towns then but not shown on the Atlas. Virginia King McBee

This poem was submitted by Virginia McBee as she feels it describes McBee Chapel, that appeared in the Today's Farmer.

COUNTRY CEMETERIES Wherever we find a cemetery In some lonely secluded spot. With its peony bushes and lilac shrubs, We wonder at the serenity of the plot. Where the solitude is only broken By the chatter of a squirrel. or the call of a bird Or as winds the tree leaves unfurl. Sentinels of beauty are, defying one and all To serenely let lie, in peace and quiet, Those who have passed on in years gone by. What is our challenge when we know of places like these: Surely, to retain and maintain for posterity to achieve A lineage of history for all mankind to Believe. For who knows where our own ashes may lie? May they be preserved for years to come For whoever passes by. Mrs. Earl Borchers.

1/6/1/5/8 JAMES WILLIAM McBEE (James McBee and Elizabeth Huston) James William McBee, born 21 December 1847 in Ray County, Missouri; died 14 October 1933 in Caldwell County. Buried McBee Chapel, Carroll County, Mo. Married 21 July 1872 in Caldwell County, Mo. by Rev. Ira Eaten to Elizabeth Jane Shrum, born 6 February 1858 in Caldwell County, Mo.; died 21 September 1915 in Caldwell County, Mo. Buried McBee Chapel. Her parents were John Laban Shrum and Elizabeth Ann Davis, and her brother, John Calvin Shrum.

Note: James William McBee called William until 1863. At father's death called J.W. Carrie Lee McBee (fall 1972) told: "J.W. had a new buggy and stopped by Grandma Shrum's one Sunday morning and offered to take 'Sis' to Caroline's (Caroline was J. W.'s sister, you know). Instead they drove off and got married over at the Moorman place over back of where Lloyd and Ramona McBee used to live. "Grandma said she should have suspected that something was up because that morning when 'Sis' was drying the milk crocks she would set one down and mutter, L That's the last time I'11 dry you,' etc., etc. Sis was only 13 when they married and J.W. was about 11 years older than her. They really eloped." Nell McBee Null wrote: Mar. 1973, "Most of all of McBees were farmers. And all of the six girls of us McBees married farmers, too." When they butchered, it was about 18-20 hogs at a time. It took a lot to feed a family like that. Everybody helped, for it was quite a job to work up that many. The family tells also about the time when Grandma McBee was in the smokehouse. Being short, she climbed up on a barrel of sorghum molasses to reach for it. The lid somehow tilted and she fell in. They had a terrible time getting her out and all clean again. (Told at a family gathering, 1973 Claude Franklin McBee remembers: "When they moved to the new house across the creek (Charlie and me were born there), J.W. had the kitchen built to be 18 feet by 22 feet and they needed it all when all us 17 kids were there, plus any hired help, or company. The kitchen table went clear across the room--it was a big one. That house must have been built about 1896 or so. John wasn't born there, which was what they intended, but he was born in the County Line (Home Place) house, after all. "I remember once when Mose had me helping him plant corn-we were using an old planter and he told me to watch that old horse's hind foot and every time he picked up his foot, I was to pull the rope to release the corn. We were planting in stump ground (where the trees had just been cleared off the land, leaving stumps yet) and it wasn't easy. But Mose explained to me how it all had to be regular and all and he also promised to take me to town if I did a good job-so I did. "When I was about 14, Al Hicks was working for J. W.--He sat down on the top step of the County Line place stairs to put his boots on even though they warned him, and the tornado left him sitting there on the staircase--split the house and he was exposed out there on the stairs. They finally picked him up out of the timbers. I remember also whenever he got hungry he'd just pick a gun and shoot a chicken running about and we'd have to cook it at the 'bachelor' house. That's what they called the County Line place because the older boys would go over there to farm and stay there doing for themselves while they farmed." (Told in 1972.)

Richmond, Mo. Conservator in June, 1959 had an article on this family -- "One of the amazing things about J.W. and Elizabeth McBee's family was that there was never a death (including infancy or otherwise) until the mother died at the age of 57 when the youngest child was 17 (1915). Besides caring for her own brood she was so capable with the sick that she was often called upon to help the ill of the family. 'Uncle Bill' could be seen at most any time riding his white horse, Buster, over one of his farms herding some of the many cattle he raised." Children born to James William McBee and Elizabeth Jane Shrum: 1/6/1/5/8/1. James Laban McBee (called Labe) 1/6/1/5/8/2. George Wasson McBee (called Wass) 1/6/1/5/8/3.

1/6/1/5/8/1 JAMES LABAN McBEE (J. W. McBee and Elizabeth Shrum) James Laban McBee, (called Labe) born 19 February 1874 in Ray County, Mo.; died 8 December 1929. Married 24 December 1895 in Missouri, to Mary Emma Davis, born 11 July 1868; died around 1908. Father was George Davis. Note: Carrie Lee McBee says, "Emma Davis McBee was of the family of Davises that Grandmother Shrum was. I think her mother may have been a Moad." Frank McBee says, "She was a sister to I. G. Davis and a half sister to Roscoe Davis."

From a letter dated 11 October 1972 written by Mabel McBee Phillips, to Mrs. Roger McBee, Richmond, Mo., "When my sister, Clella, and I were very young, we lived in Mo. with Grandma and Grandpa and family for 7 years. Grandma seemed almost a mother. Although I was very young, she taught me how to work. In 1915 my father brought us back to Oklahoma where we lived with him until we grew up. After I was married in 1928, my father made his home with us until I returned to college to complete some work for my Life Teacher's Certificate. I have been the only survivor of the family for many years, since 1948 when Clella died. None of us had any children of our own."

Note: Labe McBee went down to Oklahoma to find land, and he settled there. It was around this time that the Panhandle Area was opened for settlers (Cherokee Strip) and many families from Braymer area went down there to claim land, including Marion Holder, Elmer McBee, John Ficke, Wass and Labe McBee, Charles Tripp and many others. After Labe's wife, Emma Davis McBee, died in a sanitarium there, he brought the girls back to Missouri. to stay with his parents. Children born to James and Mary McBee: 1/6/1/5/8/1/1.

Clella Viola McBee, born 26 May, 1907, Ohio.; married E. D. Hines, died 18 Oct. 1948.

1/6/1/5/8/2 GEORGE WASSON "Wass" McBEE (J. W. McBee and Elizabeth Shrum) George Wasson McBee, born 24 July 1875 in Ray County, Missouri; died 5 August 1954 in Kansas City, Mo, Buried McBee Chapel, Carroll Co. Mo. Married 24 February 1897 to Mary Etta Holder, born 6 February 1878, Caldwell County, Mo.; died 11 December 1939 in Kansas City, Missouri; buried McBee Chapel.

Note: George W. McBee(Wass) farmed near Braymer, Caldwell County. Mary Etta Holder was called "Big Mary" and her daughter called "Little Mary" to distinguish them. Parents of Mary Etta Holder were William Holder (brother to Elizabeth J. Holder who married John McBee, son of James and Elizabeth Huston McBee), and Pauline Davis (daughter of Judge Samuel Davis, who was brother to Elizabeth Ann Davis Shrum, mother of John Calvin Shrum and of Elizabeth Jane Shrum McBee). In l972(at the age of 92) Lulu Severns McBee talked about the Oklahoma Land Rush when the older boys of James William and Elizabeth Shrum McBee were going to take their families and go to get land. "Yes, I had a new dress, Grandma McBee made it -- that was just before Lee (Lee McBee b. 13 July 1901) was born -- and I had a ribbon to tie around me (she gestured around her big like a pregnant woman would be and laughed at the recollections). Oh, I was just all fixed up. We got our stuff to the railroad. Wass already had his stuff there and had it all loaded. There wasn't enough room in the railroad car for ours, so we finally decided to just take it and go back home. We never did go to Oklahoma then. Some of Wass's children were born there, I think. Luther was, I know.''

From John Nick McBee, 10 March 1973: "The best we could find on dates was that Dad (Wass) went to Foss, Oklahoma in 1901. They came back to Missouri when Luther was two weeks old (1904)."

Nell Null (Nellie McBee) said: "G.W. (Wass) built a small house on his claim (or file or stake), as did Labe and stayed. When the Indian Territory was thrown open you had to build a home on it and live there so many months before it was legally yours.''

Under the Black Oak items for August 20, 1909 Braymer Bee: A family reunion was: held at the home of John F. (J.F.)Holder in honor of his mother, Plyna Holder, who was 64.

1/6/1/5/8/2/7 JOHN NICHOLAS ( John Nick ) McBEE John Nicholas McBee, (called John Nick), born 21 May 1914 Married 23 September 1937 to (1) Erma Mae Mays, born 14 June 1919; died 17 July 1941.

In 1973 John Nick operates a dairy farm in the Black Oak Community near Braymer, Missouri. This farm is the one where his grandfather, James Wm. McBee, and the 17 children lived from the time the last two boys were born until the family was grown.

Roger McBee tells, "In 1931 (before his marriage) when he was about 17 years of age, John Nick hitchhiked out to Lamar, Colorado to visit us. He had to walk 11 miles north from town as there was too little traffic on that road then. Rather than disturb us in the wee hours of the morning when he got here, he just crawled into a wagon load of hay and went to sleep. You can hardly imagine how surprised we all were the next morning when we saw him. He stayed with us that spring and worked. There was plenty for us all to do, for sure. One morning we were out before daylight getting ready to go to the fields to work and we were filling the tractors with gas from barrels setting in a big barn. I was going on 14 and I was holding a lantern (for light) in back of the barrels and John Nick was drawing the gas into cans. We never could figure out why, but the gas fumes somehow ignited from the lantern flame. When it blazed up, John ran on outside, but I was too frightened to get out through the blaze. John had left the spigot open in his surprise so the fire kept blazing more and more. But John started talking to me and he literally talked me out of that fire to safety." Children born to John Nick and Erma May McBee: 1/6/1/5/8/2/7/1. Shirley Mae McBee 1/6/1/5/8/2/7/2. Barbara Fay McBee 1/6/1/5/8/2/7/3.

Note: Parents of Lulu Mae Severns were Daniel Severns and Malissa Kelly. Maternal grandparents - Joseph Kelly and Laura Jennings. Paternal grandparents - Riley and Rebecca Severns. David Moses McBee was called Mose, and in later years used M.D. as his initials. Lulu Mae Severns is called Dude, and her family moved to Braymer in a covered wagon from Illinois when she was small. A maternal uncle was already in Braymer, John Kelly. This couple moved to Prowers County, Colo., near Lamar, in the spring of 1929. Children born to David Moses and Lulu McBee: 1/6/1/5/8/3/1. Eva Mae McBee 1/6/1/5/8/3/2. Archie Lee McBee (changed his name to Lee Roy) 1/6/1/5/8/3/3. Mary Violet McBee 1/6/1/5/8/3/4. James William McBee 1/6/1/5/8/3/5. Mildred Irene McBee 1/6/1/5/8/3/6. M. D.

Billy Frederick McBee Note: The mother of Lulu Severns McBee, Melissa Kelly Severns (aunt to Johnny Kelly who married Caroline Alwilda McBee) had developed advanced tuberculosis here in Missouri and her mother came after her to accompany her back to the home in Schuyler County, Illinois to care for her. They were there about three months when Mrs. Severns died. Lulu Severns McBee says, "My younger sister, Nell, was 3 years old then and Grandma had her with her. She (her mother) wiped the dishes the day she died."

Roger McBee told how his father, Mose, used to tell of taking a sack of wheat to the mill at Millville (then called Buckshot) to have it ground into flour. They came by wagon and had to stay overnight for it was too long a trip to make in one day, especially since they sometimes had to wait for the grinding. Years later they took it by horseback to Braymer after a mill was started there.

From the Braymer Bee, May 2, 1923: "M. D. McBee's New No. 8 Planter, which he took home Saturday, went into the field Tuesday morning and is doing duty like a seasoned veteran."

Mose moved his family (those still at home were just the four younger ones: M. D., Roger, Frances and Billy to Lamar, Prowers Co., Colorado, in 1929.) They were just getting established when the Dust Bowl Days came on them. The family often talk about how they tried to cover the windows and seal all the openings to keep out the dust, but to no avail. Roger McBee remembers his mother using a shovel to scoop the dirt off the kitchen table mornings that had accumulated there overnight from the dust and wind. But they stuck it out through the adverse weather and got established in irrigated farming there finally. (All of the children of David Moses McBee were born SE of Braymer, Caldwell County, except Eva Mae, who was born in a Carroll County location.)

Virginia McBee writes: "About 1948, Easter Sunday, all the family living in Colorado were at the home of Dee and Pearl McBee north of Lamar and Mary (McBee) Mason happened to glance out the window and saw their car afire inside. Everyone rushed outside to put out the fire. From evidence, they could tell some of the children had been playing with fire, and gotten it afire, but the whole inside was burned badly before it could be extinguished. Charlotte (Baker) McBee was among the last going back into the house and she caught sight of a child sitting on an old well dump which had been covered saying, 'He's in there,' and pointing. Leaning over she was able to reach down and grasp a child's hand and pulled out a dripping Glen Robert McKnight (about 4). Evidently the large rock which was used to cover the hole had been knocked away when everyone rushed out about the fire and it was only by a fortunate chance that she happened to see his hand and save his life." 1/6/1/5/8/3/1/1/2 GARY LEO McKNIGHT Gary Leo McKnight, born 25 July 1946 in Lamar, Colorado; married 31 January 1970 to Kathleen Szusz Kiewicz.

Front page FUN HAD SERIOUS ENDING -BRAYMER BEE, Nov. 26, 1910, Friday: "A chavari at the home of E.L. Eichler Thursday night came near having a tragic ending, resulting in serious injury to Willie McBee, one of the serenaders. Lawrence Eichler and Miss Nettle McBee had gone to Ludlow Wednesday, Nov. 10, and from thence to Chillicothe, where they were married, giving a surprise to all their friends. On their return, the boys of the neighborhood gathered to give them a charlvari. The bride and groom, anticipating their coming, slipped out of the house and over to Charles Harlow's, where the boys had left their horses. Borrowing two of the horses, Mr. and Mrs. Eichler rode around the section and expected the crowd to leave during their absence.

"When they got back, however, the Boys were searching for them, having put out their lanterns, and in the dark they rode close up to them before either party discovered the other.

"The boys then began yelling which frightened the horses, so that they ran away. One of them ran over Willie McBee, knocking him lifeless. They carried him to the house and summoned Dr. Woolsey and worked with him a couple of hours before he regained consciousness. They then sent for his mother. He felt the effects of it badly and for several days but it is hoped that he has not received any permanent injury." Lee McBee in 1972 said, "Virginia, somebody said you wanted to know how Willie got hurt. Well it was when Net and Lawrence Eichler got married. Everyone went down to charlvari and they stepped out of the house and got on their horses and they heard them coming from the north. They were all running the horses and they were all running down the road, looking every which way, going down toward the Shrums. Then those coming from the North - well, Willie didn't hear them quickly enough, and they ran over him. Dad just threw me over on the bank is how I escaped. It knocked Willie down - the horses stepped on his face. Mashed the whole side of his face badly. Boy!, that stopped that chivaree right then and there. They picked him up and carried him up to the house. It came dang near killing him."

Frank McBee was telling about in 1915 when Grandma McBee died: "J.W. rented out the home place to Gib Phillips and went to Oklahoma to look around. He bought 9 city lots there in Hinton, an undertaking parlor and some farming acreage. Then later, when Willie developed such bad rheumatism after the horse trampeling episode, J.W. gave Willie some of the land down there and that's why Willie went to Hinton." Eva McBee McKnight also mentioned: "Grandpa McBee was glad to have Willie go down there and take care of the land. Labe was there, too, you remember."

Wrote in a letter 6 October, 1972, to Mrs. Roger McBee: "I have a book about Vardry McBee of Greenville, South Carolina that I'll Xerox off for you. In fact, books about the McBees, sort of hit a tender spot. Ten years ago I was offered a nice contract to write a historical novel based upon the McBee family from Scotland to all the states. I just didn't take the time. May yet. The editor made the offer because I had helped on a book on President Truman they were writing. Also have some stuff on the McBean Clan from which we take our name that you would probably be interested in using."

Roger McBee remembers well the day Joseph McBee was buried at McBee Chapel: " All of the older ones in the families had gone to the funeral. He was at McKnights and his nephew, Leo McKnight, got into some sort of argument with him and began chasing after Roger with a knife. The threshing machine was across the road and Roger climbed on it but Leo discovered him, and came up after him, still angry. Finally, there was no way to go but off so Roger jumped off the end of the thresher. He fell on a protruding metal piece and cut himself on the inner thigh. Dr. Boone Woolsey used a case knife to smear some black salve on it when they called him to doctor the bad cut. No stitches, but the doctor gave him a tetanus shot, because the metal was rusty.

When they arrived back home, they knew it was the beginning of childbirth labor. When they called the doctor, he said, 'Have her walk around. I'11 get there as soon as I can.' Esther said, 'I can't I'm already too tired from walking today.' The weather was unusually cold for the middle of October, Esther also remembered. Eileen Couch Wall says she remembers her mother telling of how pretty everyone thought she (Esther) was her wedding day. Her wedding dress was of blue velvet. Also I can remember myself seeing how Grandpa McBee (James Wm.) had to stoop to come in the door when we lived in Hamilton years ago." Esther McBee was the last girl of the 17 children, then there were three boys. They delighted in calling her Queenie, because of Queen Esther in the Bible.

"Brick" Hicks, Richmond, Mo., fire chief, told that he saw this group of officers come up to Rollin out in the field where we were, and I thought that he was in trouble. But they talked a while, shook hands, and when they came our way, I saw that Rollin had received the Silver Star decoration on the field. It was such a dangerous campaign they didn't want to wait until the action was over to make the award, as we were having heavy casualties. We also served during the Battle of the Bulge in Europe together.

James Robert McBee, born August 1957 1/6/1/5/8/15/2/4. Mona King McBee, born April 1960 Notes taken from tape recording "gab fest" at the home of Lyman McBee, south of McBee Chapel, with his mother, Mrs. Carrie Lee (Shrum) McBee, wife of John McBee; Mrs. Ike Spitzer, Mary McBee; and Mrs. Roger McBee of Richmond, Missouri, and occasionally Mrs. Ramona (Murray) McBee, Lyman's wife, 5 September, 1972: Talking recording session opened with Carrie Lee showing us a tintype of J.W. and Elizabeth (Sis) McBee and the eight children born to them by that time. Background was the home place, as it originally began.

Carrie: "That's the house before they put the front room on. Mary, can you remember when it didn't have the front room on?" Mary: ('No. But I can remember when they built that little house back there -- I mean the bath on the back, but I can't remember when they didn't have the front like it is now." Carrie: "I can kind of remember it, but, of course, I'm older than you are. See, there was a little portico up there in front. This little porch (pointing to the tintype), and the two rooms--the kitchen and the bedroom, and then there was this little porch, here. What we call the portico was a little open place, you could walk out on it--on top of the rooms--you didn't have any roof on it. Let's see, there was about 8 children. And this back here was the colored maid." Virginia: "What was her name?" Carrie: "I never did hear anybody say anything about her except this tintype and there she was." Virginia: "Didn't you say something once about Indians?" Carrie: "Well, on the Shrum side, see, John and my father were double cousins. And they used to always say that the Shrums had some Indian in them. But, now, where it came from I don't know. Because Grandma Shrum was a Davis from up by Black Oak, and then the Shrum boys. They were German and they just came in here. We do have -- I have the copies -- that Grandpa Shrum -- He wrote a letter to some of the Shrums elsewhere South of here -- well, he wrote that he had settled up here five miles north of Tinney's Point and that it was good land and for them to come up here if they were interested. And that's as far as we have anything on the Shrums. But Grandma Shrum was a Davis and I think her mother was a Moad." Virginia: "Tell me about the McBee Chapel, please, Carrie." Carrie: "Well, I wrote this piece for Carrollton. It's about as much and as nice as anything." (Copy of this at end of recording session.) Virginia: "Did they fix the cemetery at the same time as the church?" Carrie: "No, I don't think they did, but the land was all given at the same time, however. In the deed it says that it will revert back to the original owners whenever it is not used for church. It's like the old school deeds used to be. That land it was on was Levi's. The Heirs are (or would be) Elmer, Jim and Dave. Well, Jim has no heirs. His died. And Elmer's has Ina and Nelson down in Arizona. And Dave has Lucille and Eileen. Eileen's out in California. And Lucille, maybe, I think. in Kansas City. Of course, they probably don't even know. Every year we hear from Belle and Ina and Nelson. We hear from them at Christmas time. We write a little note back and forth." Virginia: "When did the chapel Burn' Carrie: 1933 or 34, well, it was rebuilt the same year. They built it right back. Oh, it was 1934-35 on the rebuilding. I know it was before we moved back here, because that was in 1936. They hadn't been having services much -- just some preacher would come in. They weren't having them regularly. And then when it burned, they just jumped right in and built it back, and the interest increased, and it really helped." Virginia: Was this the house they moved to when they moved across the road?" (Ray-Caldwell County line road is meant and understood by all talking.) Carrie: "Well, he moved the house across the road and there was an L on the back of it, and he moved that little back part and then I think he built this on it. There used to be -- you could see where the foundation was behind the house, you know, where the L had gone back there. But they took it off. They might not have taken it off until they built that room on the front." Mary: "I should remember about it but I don't. Don't have that kind of memory, I guess." Carrie: "Well, they built that front room on about -- well, she died in 1915 and it was built on there before that." Mary: "I remember we all used to go over there every Sunday. We all liked to go to grandma and grandpa's. I was 13 when she died--I can remember that." Carrie: "I do, too. I remember Mama going up there. I don't remember much myself but I remember Mama going up there when she was sick." Mary: "But I don't remember the house being across the road, either. That would be too far back for me to remember." Virginia: 'I didn't find any writings about that -- Carrie is the one who was telling me." Carrie: "Yes, it' s too far for me, too. It was over on the south and a little bit east of the barn and that made them in Ray County and the children had to go to school in Tinney's Point. It was a long ways down there and it was a wild and wooly place. So when they made this district in Caldwell County, why my Grandmother and Grandfather Shrum were living down there on what we always called The Forty, Lyman's got it now, and they moved over a mile North -- see, they had that land through there --" Mary: "Where John had --" Carrie: "Where you folks used to live. Well, they moved over there, and J. W. moved across the road and then all of them went to school. Before that I don't think they'd gone to school very much. Dad was the same age as Wass, and Mose was younger. (Dad refers to Carrie's father, who was Lee (Samuel Levi), second son of Caroline McBee and Calvin Shrum.) They had started to school, but then they moved so that they were in Caldwell County." Virginia: "Let's see, where were they married, J. W. and Sis?" Carrie: "You know where Doyle has the barn where the house burned -- you go on up on top of the next hill and there was a house on the North side of the road there (Jim Baker' s got that now), but, before you get to the corner--it' s on the next hill, from Doyle' s place, east.'' Mary: "McKnights used to live there." Carrie: "Yes, well, that was the Moorman place, well, Moorman was a Justice of the Peace. They just went to his house. It was on a Sunday, you see, and you didn't have to have a license. You just went up and said you wanted to get married. It had to be some kind of an official, however. You see, she lived up there east of the church, up there where Clifford Davis lives and she had these children and it was during war times. (NOTE: This refers to Elizabeth Huston McBee, widow of James William McBee. He died in 1863.) The father had died and he was buried at Tinney' s Point. I think he died about the time the war started. The bushwhackers would come through the countryside. The older boys were all grown up and most of them married, and settled around. J. W. (he was the youngest one) was at home yet, and I've heard my grandmother, you see, she was his sister, tell that when the bushwhackers were in around the countryside, they'd dress Bill up in girl' s clothes -- there were quite a few girls of them, and several still at home--and the girls and Bill would be out picking corn, you know, or working the fields. He wasn't to talk or say anything so they could pass him off as a girl, because he was old enough that the bushwhackers would have dragged him off to war right then if they had seen him just around. This was guerrilla warfare at the time. And that's how he escaped being in the Civil War." Virginia: "When did they start calling him J. W.?" Carrie: "Mostly, they called him Uncle Bill, and he didn't like Bill or William, and all these younger ones, why, he told them to call him J. W. His own dad was dead then, and it wasn't confusing." Virginia: "Was his father's name James William, the one that came here from Ohio? He went by James all the time." Carrie: "Yes, William, I think. He's the one that went up by Kingston and had a sawmill and didn't go to Oregon when the others went. And then he moved down here." Virginia: "How long was he up at Kingston, do you know? " (Note: Caldwell County records burned in 1860, and again the whole courthouse burned in 1893, so it is almost impossible to get early records from Caldwell County, of which Kingston is county seat.) Carrie: "I never did know for sure. There isn't anything which ever tells how long. You see, that was long about war time and how he died, I never have heard anybody say. But they did say that when they made this cemetery up at McBee Chapel, they thought they'd move his body. But when they dug in, they got a woman's button shoe, so they closed it back up. His name's on the monument up here, however, and there's also a stone down in Tinney's Point Cemetery. I Believe J. W. put that up, but they were never sure just where the grave is." Virginia: "Seems odd that the older ones, Levi and Thomas, and William were the ones who pulled up stakes after 17 years here and went to Oregon and most of the younger ones stayed. William was the one Grandmother Rachel Riley McBee stayed with, wasn't he?" Carrie: "Yes, and she went to Oregon, too, of course." Virginia: "I didn't realize at first that she was about 82 when they left here." Carrie: "Yes, and she had already come a widow down from Ohio with her children down the river and across land to here." Virginia: "Yes, and since she was perhaps born in Maryland, there's another trip for her, too. Carrie: "I always said if the McBees had the 'go,' they could blame it back on that grandmother." Mary: 'That's where we all get it, I guess." Carrie: "Well, James was married and somewhat settled down, I guess, but the older ones were too, so I guess they just left it to each one to choose to come along or not. You know, Henry didn't have any children--he lived in Chillicothe. I think I can remember J. W. and us going up to see him once, in awhile, drive a team and all go. The ones that moved to Texas were J.W.'s brother's bunch --Dave. He lived up here on the corner North side of the road just before McBee Chapel. He built that house, where Allen Watkins lives. I said they must have done good jobs of building in those days. They've fixed it over a little bit, but it's still that original house Dave built. "Of course, now, your grandmother and granddad -- they had a house South of the road in Ray County, and it burned. J.W. always said he came in at noon, along with the hired hand, for dinner. She wasn't to have dinner ready until he got there. She didn't have (see, he was about 10 years or more older than her, and she was kind of like a little kid at first, marrying so young, and all). She saw them coming, and she didn't have dinner ready, so she got up a lot of cobs and put them in the cook stove to hurry up dinner and she got the house on fire and the house burned down. It was burning down when he got there. J.W. always said, "A woman of small discretion's, in order to get dinner cooked one time, why, she burned the house down.' And then they built a house back on the South side, so she was just a child almost, when that happened" Virginia: "Do you know anything about that trip that J.W. and Nell and Annie, and one of the boys took? Was it Sam who went?" Carrie: "No, that was Cal. They went in a covered wagon to Texas, no, I Believe it was Colorado, or maybe both." Mary: "Were they living in Sam's house then? Or did they move into Sam's house when they got back? Or was that when Dad's moved into Sam's house?" (Dad here would be Moses McBee, third son of J. W. and Sis.) Carrie: " I don't know about that. Nell should, but I don't know. She was pretty good age when they went, she should know. When they left this Home Place up here, and went over across the creek, that was Shrum land, and that she had hired (rented). And they built that big house over there so that the kids would be closer to go to school, those younger ones. Can you remember that big house, Mary? " Mary: "Yes, I can remember it very well." Carrie: "That was the headquarters." "That was Grandma's, Next up was Aunt Annie Ethertons and up where Johnny Kellys did live--that belonged to Harriet, didn't it? And Uncle Sam Shrum was South, wasn't he?" Carrie: "I think so, yes, probably it was. My Grandpa Shrum, he was John--see, they were over here on the land with the McBees--she was a McBee. But they had some land, I think, down on the creek." Mary: "Sam and Annie were there, though." Carrie: "But they traded it in to J. W. and her. She took that, gave to Cal and Annie, because they were hard of hearing. They weren't married yet, either." Virginia: "How much land did J. W. and the boys farm around here, anyway?" Carrie: "They just had 80 acres in Caldwell County. And then the rest of theirs was in Ray County. They had 80, and Willy piece they've got on both sides of the road, that'd be 80 and 160 on the West side of the road. That'd be 320 acres in Ray and 80 acres in Caldwell, making 400 acres altogether. All Willy's and then the Caldwell, making 400." Ramona: "How about the corner piece?" Carrie: "No, that on the corner was Grandma Shrum's, then Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim had that. They lost that in the Depression. Then while Lyman was in Korea, it sold at the courthouse and John bought that piece, 40 acres." Ramona: "It was Toomay land, then." Carrie: "Yes, it was Toomay then. They'd had a mortgage on it, and during the Depression they turned it over to Toomays. J.W. never did farm that place. It always belonged to Grandma Shrum and they had lived up there. I can remember when Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim were first married--they lived in a little one or two room house there, for a year or so, then they moved in with Grandma." Virginia: "Was this Negro woman the only one they ever had helping her? I was thinking about all those children when they were too little to help." Carrie: "No, until her own girls got big enough to help, she always had help in the kitchen, outside help. She would go to see about the ones away from home almost every day. John(her husband, one of J. W. and Sis's children) was one of the three little ones -- John, Frank and Charlie -- and he said that was their first chore every morning, to go and get the ponies hooked onto the buggy. Course first they had to be fed and then curried, and they would clean up the buggy while the ponies were eating. Later it was a carriage, but always hooked with the team and waiting outside until she got ready to go to see the married ones. He (J.W.) drove a single horse with a buggy, but first they got hers, then his. John said if they didn't have the ponies curried up right, they had to go and do it over again. And if the carriage was dirty it had to be washed, so it would always be clean for her. "In those days, why, a silk dress, it was just the top of the world. Well, she had TWO silk dresses. I can remember my mother telling about that--she said if she had one, she was tickled pink, but Sis had two dresses: one black and one gray. She went to all these different meetings. I can remember some of my aunts: up at Cowgill telling about her at a church meeting. She had on a gray one then. They were introducing everyone, and no one would Believe she had 17 children. Well, actually, she had several grandchildren, even, by that time. (With another old picture, this time one of all 17 of the McBee children of J.W. and Sis's, no background, and taken in 1899, with Charlie a babe in arms, about 4-5 months old.) Let's see, there'd be Labe, and Wass and Mose. That little one would be Willie, wouldn't it? Carrie was the first of the girls before Willie, and then Annie after Willie. Bess, Sam, Cal, Joe, the twins." Virginia: "Who's the oldest, Nell or Net?" Carrie: "I don't really know. It does make a difference, though, but I always had a feeling that Net was, because according to the way that they say they respond." Mary: "I think so, too, she always took the lead. That's the way with Ike's twin granddaughters out there, of Virginia's--the one born first always takes the lead." (Speaking of the grandchildren of her husband, Ike Spitzer.) Carrie: "Well, Dr. Goldberg says it's so. He's always inquiring about any twins around. He says the second one always has the most sicknesses." Virginia: "And after the twins is Marvin, then Esther (consulting written records to help verify order)." Carrie: "Then John, here, and Frank, and Charlie. (laughing) Frank hates this picture because, see, he's got a dress on. In those days you didn't put pants on them until they were toilet trained (broken we called it)." Mary: " I Don't know how many of them were married in this picture. Dad was, because Charlie and Eva are practically the same age." Carrie: "Charlie's birthday was in April, and Eva in the fall, though." Mary: " Quite a family--you know, I've always been kind of proud of that family of 17 kids though." Carrie: "The thing of it is --when you stop to think of how many of us there are, and there hasn't ever been any of us in the penitentiary. I said we've never had any preachers, and we've never had any convicts. We had one preacher--Ray McBee, but he didn't have any sons. He preached down at Mosby. He had a daughter, Betty, and she married a Slade. And I think Ray is buried down at Mosby. He's one of the New Hope McBees....David's line." Mary: "You know, to take a family that size, and all the boys and men dressed that nice -- black suits, ties, and white shirts. Well, that's quite an accomplishment in any time." Phone rang for Ramona, so now follows an obituary which Carrie Lee had: from the Braymer Bee September, 1915 MOTHER GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Elizabeth Jane Shrum was born at the old Shrum homestead, 4 miles SW of the site of Braymer, Mo., February 6, 1858, and died at her home 5 miles SE of Braymer, September 21, 1915, aged 57 years, 6 months and 15 days.

On July 21, 1872, and at the tender age of 14 years, 5 months and 15 days, she was united in marriage to J.W. McBee. To this union 17 children were born, all of whom with the husband, one sister, Mrs. Annie Etherton, and one brother, Samuel Shrum, and a large number of relatives, mourn her death.

All of the 17 children except one daughter, Mrs. Bess Ficke, of Wheeler, Texas, were present at the funeral. In addition to her large family, she had 32 living grandchildren, never having lost but one.

Sister McBee professed religion and joined the church at McBee Chapel, October 17, 1889, under the ministry of Dr. Rev. W.C. Baird, now of Bogard, Missouri. She remained a consistent member of that church until the day of her death. During the last weeks of Sister McBee's lifetime, she was a great, but patient, sufferer. She waited the coming of her Lord ready to go. In calmness and peace she made some business transactions as if she were simply going on a journey. Everything that medical skill and nursing could do was done for her, but without avail.

What a mother she was, and how devoted she was to her family, and how much they will miss her can only be realized by her husband and children, to all of whom she was so devoted.

Her funeral was preached by the writer, who has known her 30 years. Her remains were laid to rest in McBee Cemetery and it was one of the largest funerals, and one of the most impressive ever held in NW Carroll County.

Who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies... Proverbs.

John H. Hubbard

Carrie: "I remember when she was buried, too." Virginia: "I asked Roger the other night what Daniel Severns' full name was. He studied awhile, and then sheepishly said, 'Grandpa Dan Severns.' He says he doesn't remember hardly anything about anybody back here." Carrie: "And it wasn't important to them." Mary: "I Can remember Grandpa Dan making us go down that row with a corn knife stripping that cane to make sorghum." Virginia: "Roger says he can remember him picking out seed corn. You know, where they would have to 'nub' the ends, and then the kids would have to shell it." Carrie: "Well, you were supposed to be an expert at it or you didn't do it." Mary: "Yes, Dad (Mose) did that too, so he must have been good at it, too." Carrie: "There were certain people who could do it, and the seed corn would grow, and others, it wouldn't." Mary: "I remember Dad biting that little end and--" Carrie: "Yes, to see how the heart was--to see if it was alive." Mary: "And look how they do today." Carrie: "And a good fine difference in prices too. I remember when they first began that hybrid seed corn-John said it would never catch on, for it was too expensive. But now you can't afford to plant, and you can't afford not to, for it yields so much more." Virginia: "Grandma Melissa, what caused her death, Mary?" Mary: "T. B. or rather, she contracted pneumonia, but the T. B. had her so weak naturally, that she couldn't withstand illness." Virginia: "Now I've gotten McBees and Severns all mixed up here, but it all pertains to the family, I guess. By the way, Carrie, are there any little incidents or funny stories they tell in the family about something that happened?" Carrie: "Well, my dad used to tell about them going to Utica to get the lumber for the church. (Note: Utica is a very small village between Braymer and Chiliicothe. They used to go there for lumber, supplies and store goods.) He was just 13 years old but he could drive a team. And they sent just enough to bring the needed lumber back. It was a big church, that first one, bigger than the main part of the one they built after the fire (Note: It faced around the other way to the North. There were two big doors, and then the stove sat right inside the door), but of course, it didn't have any partitions in it or anything. "And I've heard my Grandmother Shrum (she was a sister to J.W., you know) tell about that she did weaving (Note: this was Caroline McBee Shrum). She spun the yarn and did weaving for money. She had saved up her earnings and had gotten what she thought was enough to buy her a ready-made coat. She lived up here on this hill east of the chapel. She rode horseback to Utica (about 5 miles west of Braymer) to get her a coat. When she got up there she saw one that, oh! she just loved it. It was just what she wanted. But when she asked the price, she lacked just one dollar having enough. She said she'd just have to let it go, you know, and she was just getting ready to get on her horse and come home when the storekeeper came out and said she could have it anyway. So he let her have the coat for a dollar less than he had it priced. And she just always had a memory of that storekeeper, you know, it was one of the happy occasions in her life. "And one of the dread occasions was when they used to dress Bill up in women's clothes to escape the bushwachers, for they were so afraid they were going to have him taken off." Virginia: "Roger does remember something about the Home Place. He says his dad (Moses McBee, son of James and Elizabeth Shrum) told him he planted those walnut trees around the house." Carrie: ('Yes, J.W. went out and plowed the furrows and then those older kids dropped the walnuts. It was two rows on the West and on the North. Yes, I've heard several of the older children tell that very story." Mary: "I'm sure there wasn't a lazy one in the bunch--they all worked." Carrie: "No, and when they built this big house across the creek, and when they moved over to that, John was one year old, and Nell was six years old. Well, then the boys stayed over here to do the farming--they batched--and that means there was two of them born across the creek then--Frank and Charlie." Mary: "They called it 'just across the creek,' but it was that, well, it was Willow Creek." Carrie: "Yes, Wi little size, he liked to come over here with the big boys to work, but he was supposed to stay there and go to school. He said one morning, it was in the spring, for they had begun to do spring work, and it was still cold. He got up early and he was going to go over across to work, but his cap when he had hung it up the night before, had fallen down into the water bucket. So he grabbed it up anyway and put it on his head and took out for the Home Place afoot running, and when he got there, it was frozen to his head. But he thought it was still better than staying over there to go to school." Virginia: "Now about this sawmill business? I thought all the McBees-- that is the early ones, were pretty much farmers." Carrie: "Yes, I did, too, but James did have that sawmill, so no telling where he learned that trade. "You know, they left those girls in Ohio (Note: records show two: Nancy Margaret and Elizabeth. The 7 boys came with their mother). One of them was the mother of Charles Reign, Scoville. His mother was one of the girls left in Ohio. And the year before John and J were married when we went to the State Fair, let's see that would be about 1921, Scoville held the devotional services that morning at the Fair, on Sunday morning. We know that we were kin to him, but we didn't go up to him and introduce ourselves or anything. We were courting and we couldn't be bothered with anything like that." Mary: "Oh, Virginia, we were talking about when I taught J.W. to drive a car. He said, 'Mary, you've just got to help., me. Those boys (it was Charlie and John), I can't learn anything with them-they just say, do this and do that.' So I took him out and taught him to drive a car. And after that, he went down to Millville to see Clara Penny and to Kansas City, and everywhere. (It was a Model T, I think. Yes, a Model T. Coupe.) Carrie: "Yes, and it had a vase on the side to hold fresh flowers. I used to have the vase but I don't know what happened to it." Mary: "We have a right to be proud of being McBees." Carrie: "Yes, I always said it was something to raise 17 kids to their full growth and all that and there's never been any of in a penitentiary. You can say truthfully that it's a good family all around, all things considered."

1/6/1/5/8/16 CLAUDE FRANKLIN (Frank) McBEE Claude Franklin McBee, born 10 May 1837 in Caldwell County. Married 27 March 1918 in Kingston, Mo., to Nevah Pearl Bisel, born May 1899 N.E. of Braymer, Missouri. Parents were Arthur Levi Bisel (died at the age of 38 from a severe hemorrhage caused from a stomach ulcer) and Ada Bell Collins. Children born to Frank and Nevah McBee: 1/6/1/5/8/16/1. Arthur Levi McBee 1/6/1/5/8/16/2. Juanita Grace McBee 1/6/1/5/8/16/3. Ruby Lee Nevah McBee 1/6/1/5/8/16/4. Betty Jane McBee 1/6/1/5/8/16/5. Rachel Edna McBee 1/6/1/5/8/16/6. Lavere Franklin McBee

Note: Frank and Nevah McBee reared a grandson, Jackie Ray Kelly, son of Juanita Grace McBee and James Earl Kelly. In talking about the time when the old McBee Chapel burned, Frank said, "Out at the old chapel John Eichler poked up the fire and went home to do his chores. When he came back and opened the door, there was a blaze. The preacher was there and threw the door wide open and that let the fire keep, on burning. If the derned fool had of shut the door so that north wind couldn't get to the fire and let it get out of hand, they might have been able to have put out the blaze."

Frank was the Maytag dealer in Braymer from the early 1930's and also sold L.P. gas until he retired in 1973.

Bill Holder son of Ruby Lee Nevah McBee: My Grandfather Frank McBee was probably the most positive influence in my life, as I am sure he was for his other 25 Grandchildren. I never remember a holiday that one or more people would not call and tell grandpa McBee that they were cooking the Holiday meal and ran out of gas. I remember many severely cold nights that the phone would ring in the middle of the night and some poor farmer, with many small kids, several miles away was out of gas. No matter what the situation Grandpa would go immediately. His heart was always with the children, out on the farms I would see many small children, Grandpa would always reach in his pocket and give them nickels and dimes, and watch their smiles. (then you could go to the show on Saturday Night in Braymer for 25 cents.) Saturday night in a North Missouri farm town was quite the occasion, it was the night that everyone came to town, and since we were almost all related, it was like a reunion every Saturday Night. All of the stores would stay open until 9 o'clock, everyone at some time in the evening would stop by and exchange pleasant conversation with Grandpa.. Grandpa was A good salesman, but not necessarily a great business man, his main motivation was to help people, not profit. The last few years in the gas business his price to the customers was $6.63 for a 100 lb. drum delivered. This included re-lighting the pilot lites. About 1972 there was a gas shortage, Grandpa was paying $6.38 to have his drums refilled, he refused to pass on the price increase to the customers, his price was still $6.63 and that included change for the little kids, Braymer was a poor community. One summer I was visiting in Braymer, I was about 9 years old, both Grandpa and Grandma was out of the appliance store, and I was alone watching the store for a few minutes. A farmer and his wife came into the store wanting to buy an E2L Maytag washing machine, Many times I had seen Grandpa sell this washer for about $120, the people said they would come back later, I told them I would sell them the washer for $135, they left. Later they returned thinking that they were making a great deal the farmer said " Your grandson said he would sell that washer to us for $135 will you sell it ?" With a smile on his face he agreed. Rich in dollars Grandpa never was, rich in family and friends there has never been one richer. Grandpa taught me to treat people like you would like to be treated. Later in life I spent 13 years in elected office, 2 years as an Alderman, 4 years as Mayor, and 7 years on the School Board in the City of Belton, Missouri Population about 13,000. I always tried to treat people like Grandpa taught me, and I believe I was very successful. I will never forget the funeral procession for Grandpa, there is a long hill on the south side of Braymer, Mo., I could see cars as far as my eyes could see, all there to pay respect to a small man in size, but the largest in heart.

Married 29 September 1902 Ida Branstetter, born 11 August 1871, died 30 July 1967; buried New Hope Cemetery. An article appeared in the Richmond Conservator written by Ernest Dale, "Ray Countieans in Kansas City" -McBee- The first time we ever saw Benjamin Franklin McBee was back over thirty years ago, when he came to Rayville to operate a general store, where he sold groceries, salt meats, boots, shoes and "musket caps" as the adage goes. The last time we saw him was just a few days ago, at 31st and Indiana avenue, and we had the pleasure of giving him a "lift" to present him to the nearest checker game in an emporium of tonsorial beautification (barber shop). Mr. McBee is of the old Ray County family of McBees, and was reared in the Millville-Russellville section. While merchandising has always been his main line, checker playing has been a strong sideline with Mr. McBee, and he has bent overboard in the popular game with a number of state champions-in fact, he has defeated some of them, but not in a state tournament. Mr. and Mrs. McBee came to Kansas City six years ago, and operated a grocery store at 27th and Myrtle, until he retired about two years ago. They now reside at 3011 Spruce Avenue. Their son, Frank, has been in the postal service here 13 years, and Allen is employed by the American Can Company, North Kansas City. Allen, a few years ago, broke into print in the dailies, which published a photograph of him, as the late Judge H.P. McElroy, city manager presented him a medal for safe driving of his motor car in Kansas City. Children born to Benjamin and Ida McBee: 1/6/1/6/4/4/1/2/1/1. Frank McBee 1/6/1/6/4/4/1/2/1/2.

Few pioneers came to the shores of the Columbia under more trying difficulties than did the subject of this sketch and his sisters. Isaiah McBee, of Scotch and German descent, was born in Ray County, Missouri, February 9, 1840, and is the son of Levi and Elizabeth (Ream) McBee, natives of Maryland and Ohio respectively, born in 1811 and 1815 respectively. Levi McBee was a carpenter by trade, but gave most of his life to farming. He was among Ohio's early pioneers and took up his abode most in Missouri in 1836. There he reared a family and lived until the year 1852, when the richness and wonders of far-away Willamette proved too attractive to withstand and he, his wife and little children were soon westward bound. Cholera broke out in the company and before its ravages were finished, both father and mother were sleeping the sleep that knows no waking upon this earth. He was stricken near Fort Kearney, Nebraska, and there buried; his faithful help meet, was laid at rest at the mouth of Ash Hollow, on the North Platte river, Nebraska. The seven little orphans continued their weary, lonesome way. Soon two of them dropped from the little company and were buried by the wayside. The remaining fatherless and motherless children, of whom Isaiah was one, were tenderly cared for by two paternal uncles and others of that fearless, saddened emigrant train, and in time arrived safely at their journey's end. Isaiah immediately went to work in King's tannery, Portland, where he remained until November, 1854, when he became a resident of Vancouver, across the Columbia.

1/6/1/7/5 CAROLINE McBEE Caroline McBee , born 19 February 1842 in Ray County, Missouri; died 11 June 1935, at Loomis, Okanogan County, Washington. Married 24 February 1856 at Roseburg, Douglas Co. Oregon Rufus Horation Beeman, born 3 August 1833, McKean County Pennsylvania; died 11 February 1924 on a farm 8 miles West of Tonasket, Okanogan County, Washington. Note: The following was submitted by Mrs. Gwen Bjorkman, great-grand- daughter of Caroline McBee, taken from "The Descendants of Thomas Beeman of Kent, County." by Gwen Boyer Bjorkman 1971. Caroline McBee came to Oregon in a covered wagon in 1852 in a wagon train composed of McBee relatives from Ray Co., Missouri. Levi and Elizabeth McBee and two children died of cholera on the trail. Caroline stayed with relatives and friends in Oregon until she married at age 14. In 1861 Rufus and Caroline moved to Walla Walla, Washington Territory, where he mined for three years, then moving on the Tucannon River (now Columbia Co.) where he farmed and freighted until 1874. In 1874 Rufus Beeman moved to the Genesee Valley in present day Latah Co., Idaho where he bought 560 acres of land and cultivated it to cereals. He also operated a store and the post office in his large barn which is still standing in perfect condition in Genesee -now owned by Rudolph Nordby (1968). The trade was good at the store, but the collections were poor and the store failed. Mail came on a stage twice weekly, the route being from Lewiston to Paradise Valley. His farming operation In Genesee failed and he sold part of his ranch. In 1883 Rufus had 10,000 pounds of bacon which was worth next to nothing in Genesee. Searching for a market, he made a horseback trip from Genesee to British Columbia, up the course of the Okanogan River. Next year he and his sons loaded the bacon on a train consisting of our horse teams and 30 pack horses and transported it to the Hoodoo Mines in British Columbia, Canada.

By 1907 Rufus Beeman was 74 years old and was getting near retirement age. Most of his children had moved to Okanogan Co., Washington so he followed and located on a farm West of Tonasket, where he died at age 90, Feb. 11, 1924. Caroline and Rufus would have been married 68 years on Feb. 24th. During his lifetime, Rufus Beeman built and reclaimed out of the wilderness 18 different farms. Henry Beeman wrote to his daughter Media Beeman Boyer on 10 Jan. 1924, "Grand Pa is most dead. He lays and sleeps most of the time and has not taken food for 6 days -- so he can't live much longer. He does not know anyone." On 2 Mar. 1924, "Things have been happening since you wrote. Your Grand Pa passed away on the 11th at 10 p.m. -- was buried at Loomis the 13th. I mean in Feb. The Kids were all there but Alie, Ada, and Bert, Aunt Ella came in the night 15 min. after his death. She lives near Shoshone, Idaho and was over here 3 days last week. We moved over to Bill Beeman's farm 2 miles from where Grand Ma lives, close to where I used to herd sheep for Fred." In 1914 the Beeman home had burned including all their books and the big Family Bible. Caroline did send a list of the names and birth dates of her children to the Oregon Historical Society and left a list with her youngest son, Roy Beeman. She bought a house in Loomis near Roy and spent the rest of her years visiting her family throughout the Northwest until her death in 1935 at age 93.

This story was dictated to Vic Snyder by Caroline McBee Beeman for a school assignment that he did while a child.

CROSSING THE PLAINS IN 1852 The following are some of the experiences of Mrs. Caroline Beeman while crossing the Plains in 1852 and after arriving on this side. "We started on April 1 in the year of 1852 from Ray County, Missouri. There were about fifteen ox teams in the train, most of them being owned by my immediate relatives. Most of the people in the train were my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. My father owned two of the teams and my uncles owned one or two teams each. It was but a few days journey until we reached the Missouri River. It was there that I saw the first Indians that I had ever seen and there was one little girl that didn't get much sleep that night because she was afraid of being scalped by the redskins. The day after we crossed the Missouri a council was called to elect a captain of the train. My father, Levi McBee, was elected captain. While the election was being held the horses we had brought with us had wandered around a bend in the river and when the men went to look for them they discovered that they had been stolen by the Indians. After this slight experience with the Indians they did not bother us much because the Cavalry was out on the Plains most of the summer and the Indians were somewhat afraid of them.

The next important river we crossed was the Platte. It was shortly after we crossed this river that Father took the cholera and died of it. It was noon and we had stopped for dinner that Father for the first time began to complain about being sick. He kept complaining all the rest of the afternoon and that night he became very sick and died. The next day he was buried on the Plains much in the same manner that the other unlucky ones were buried who area while crossing the plains.

Several times on the way over we had to make "dry camp" because of the scarcity of water to camp by and sometimes the water supply that we had with us was so low that part of the men would have to go on ahead and hunt for water. This water was usually gotten for the stock and horses. One time several of us girls went with the men to get the water, when we returned there were quite a number of foot-sore girls in the party. Because of the lack of shoes and we had to walk about twelve miles through the hot sun. We hardly ever had any trouble about getting wood for the fires as there was usually plenty of sage brush on the Plains and in the more arid sections. Along the rivers and the streams we could find plenty of willows and cottonwood trees. If neither of these were available we could always find "buffalo chips" which were plentiful on the Plains at that time although we saw very few herds of buffalo. There were many large herds of Indian ponies on the Plains. Some of us children thought they were about the most beautiful animals we had ever seen. We came by the way of Fort Boise and from there to the Cascades taking about six months to reach the Cascades from Missouri. My aunt was in charge of us children since Father's death. When we got to the Cascades we had a chance to stay with some folks just on the other side of the mountains and we decided to stay there awhile. The rest of my relatives went on and settled around Forest Grove, Portland and Corvallis, Oregon Territory. Early in the Spring of 1853 we went on to the Columbia River and we planned to go to Portland by way of boat. At that time there was only one steamboat in this part of the country. We had to carry our packs of personal belongings over a pack trail about five miles long. We reached the boat just after the boat had left for its trip to Portland. When we reached the boat landing we discovered that the boat only made the trip twice a week. For a time we were at a loss as to what we were going to do or where we were going to stay until the boat should come back again. Finally a man came up to us and told us that we had better go to a hotel about a quarter of a mile away. Another man standing nearby invited us to come and stay with him; he said the hotel was probably full. When time came to continue on with the trip, Mr. McNally asked me to stay with him and this I did, partly because he had potatoes which he cooked with "the skins on", (this was the first time I had eaten any potatoes since we had left Missouri and they were very appetizing) and partly because they had a little baby of which I was very fond. Mr. Wells, the captain of the boat, had sent for his wife to come out to Oregon. At the last of the journey she became sick. Her husband hearing of this sent McNally to meet her and to see that she arrived safely. When Mrs. Wells arrived she persuaded me to go on to Oregon City and live there with her. On my arrival in Portland I saw one of my brothers-in-law on the street and he took me up to the house to see my sister, Mrs. Chambreau. She coaxed me to stay with her and go to school instead of going on to Oregon City with Mrs. Wells. In the Spring of 1853 Portland was a typical frontier town. It had one main street that ran along the Willamette River. It had a few stores, and plenty of saloons and gambling halls. There was one church and one school house; the church was Catholic. The school was a little one-room building. The timber grew very near the water's edge and as soon as a little space was cleared off a new house would go up in this spot.

As stated before the school house was a small one-room structure. It wasn't very much to brag about although it was of frame structure and it served the purpose very well. We had a woman teacher and as for knowledge it would not have taken a very smart person to be as intelligent as she. We used the much-famed slates that you hear some of the old-timers telling about. For desks we had some wide boards with legs nailed on them. We sometimes thought that the wood the seats were made of was mighty hard. Portland had the total enrollment of thirty in their public schools at that time. In the late Spring after school was out I got in a quarrel with my sister's husband, Mr. Chambreau, because he said that I did not wash the water bucket as clean as I should have. When Mr. McNall came along, later in the day, and asked me if I wanted to go home with him I gladly accepted. I told him that I would be ready in the morning. That night Mr. Chambreau said I couldn't go. I was very determined and when Mr. McNall came the next morning before the rest of the family was awake, I left without even taking any clothes with me. I sent for them later.

In 1855 Mr. McNall moved to Douglas County, Oregon and I went there with him. A year later I married Mr. Rufus Beeman and in 1860 we moved to Walla Walla where we lived for five years or until 1865. 2 Canyon W.W.

1/6/1/9 Henry McBee born about 1824 probably Ohio or Maryland. Nothing else known. was not listed in the 1850 Missouri census.

THE HUSTON FAMILY David Huston, father of Elizabeth Huston McBee, settled in Stark County, Ohio, by 1820, having been born in Western Pennsylvania just after the close of the Revolutionary War. The 1830 Stark County Census in Ohio shows his sons: Robert Steward, and John Huston, having their own homes there. We do not find any records at the present time which would indicate the name of David's father. McBee family legends, passed only Elizabeth Huston McBee, place him as a Revolutionary War soldier from Pennsylvania. However, since there more than 30 Huston/Houston men who served during that War, it will take research to prove this line back farther.

However, another family legend says that the Huston/Houston name was one which was changed from the Irish one of House Son after quarrels over religion occurred. Also Indian ancestors, including Pocahontas, were mentioned in family stories. Nothing was found to prove any of this, but the story written by F.M. Houston of Middletown, Kentucky, in 1899, telling the story of one Robert House Son, and the descendants of his son, Samuel, make this family legend seem to possibly have some elements of truth in it. Certainly it would bear further research in this area. According to Mr. Houston, this Samuel House Son's two sons, Alfred and Abnor, married a Scotch merchant's daughters: Ruth and Rachel Scense, where boys were in school in Scotland. They became supporters of John Knox and quarreled with the Scotch people in that area. The men decided to change their names to Houston or Huston after the relatives in Dublin, Ireland, also disapproved of the new religious activity. They later arrived in the New World at the Jamestown settlement; Alfred using the Houston spelling and Abnor preferring the Huston variant. Alfred preached to the Indians, and Abnor went into a trading partnership with John Rolfe, who married Pocahontas, Later Abnor had three sons who married on the same day and year. 25 December 1633. One of them, John Juston Huston, took his family 1654 to the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, settling a few miles above where Philadelphia was afterwards established. He worked as a surveyor for William Penn. John's descendants migrated all over the Pennsylvania area, and gradually the two spellings became intermingled. It is hoped that someone will feel led to do more research on this family as it is likely to prove very interesting tracing the Huston/Houstons.

Town of McBee McBee, South Carolina April 14, 1972

Mrs. Francis Mercer P.O. Box 562 Excelsior Springs, Missouri 64024

Dear Mrs. Mercer: In reply to your letter of April 10 we are glad to furnish the following brief information. The Town of McBee was incorporated in 1901, soon after the Seaboard Airline Railroad was constructed. The town was named for an official of the railroad whom I have been able to identify only as "Captain McBee". This man was from Greenville, South Carolina, and his relatives and descendants still live there. Apparently the McBees were a prominent and influential family in Greenville. There is a McBee Avenue and several other public facilities that carry the McBee name. I trust that this information may be of some help to you. Very Truly yours J.W. Martin, Jr. Mayor

The Churchman, Sept. 13, 1924 SILAS McBEE In the death of Silas McBee the Christian forces of the world have lost one of the most ardent advocates of Christian unity. During the years when Dr. McBee was editor of The Churchman, and subsequently of the Constructive Quarterly, he laid foundations of goodwill between the various communions that have helped to intensify that longing for reunion now so widespread and pointed out avenues to fellowship the following of which has resulted in stimulating more intelligent efforts toward the end he sought.

No layman has had a more loyal devotion to Episcopal Church than Dr. Silas McBee; he came from a family which for generations had held important positions of service in that communion. But his devotion to his own communion fired him with longing to make the Episcopal Church ever a more effective instrument in bringing into consummation those ideals of fellowship which he saw written so clearly across the gospel of his Master. He Believed that those ideals could never be brought to fruition save through a closer and more definite co-operation between all communions, of which his own Church was but one. He talked and wrote much about the Episcopal Church; but more about Christianity.

In the days when he began his work for reunion it required more optimism than seems necessary at the present time. And the friends and admirers of Dr. McBee are grateful that he lived long enough to see unmistakable signs that his devotion to this high cause had counted toward the end which he sought with such undiminished hope.

Dr. McBee read the task of an editor in terms of leadership. He Believed in the power of the printed word to mold opinion and saw that only through discussion of the freest sort could we arrive at an understanding of the principles of Jesus and of the best methods to make those principle count heavily in our modern civilization. His wide circle of acquaintance in all parts of the world, among leaders of opinion, made it possible for him to secure for the two publications of which he was editor material that arrested attention and stimulated thought and which had a cumulative effect in giving potency to his basic propaganda for the reunion of Christendom. We know of no other layman whose purpose has been more clarified and undeviating or whose work has been more constructive toward the realization of the Kingdom of God that of Silas McBee.

Tennessee Cousins pg. 108 Jefferson County, Tennessee The McBee Family of Strawberry Plains, Jefferson County The McBee Family of Strawberry Plains in Jefferson County, were descendants of Vardry McBee, a revolutionary soldier, of Lincoln and Tyron Counties, in North Carolina, who probably came to the Wataugu Valley and settled for a time, before his death. In the records of Washington County Court, on May 27, 1782, it was ordered that a deposition be issued to take the testimony of Vardry McBee, George Underwood, William Cooper and others in a suit pending between William Saffold & Mathew Gale. The records of Washington District (Afterrands Washington County, Tennessee) show that William McBee was living on Lick Creek about 1781-2. Lemuel McBee, the son of Vardry McBee, was born, perhaps in the Wataugu Valley of Tennessee, before the State of Tennessee came into existence. Be married perhaps in what is now Granger County, but the name of his wife is unknown. It is estimated that he probably married about 1825. Lemuel McBee, born in Jefferson County about 1816, who married Mary Love, daughter of John B. Love, a native of Western North Carolina. The second Lemuel McBee was the father of John L. McBee, whose wife was named Lizzie by whom he had several children.

Vardry McBee, who come to the Watsuga Valley by 1780, had several children, whose names are secured from contemporaneous records, largely attributed to him as his progeny because of the dates and names, They were: 1. Lemuel McBee of Jefferson Co. 2. William McBee of Lick Creek 3. Vardry McBee, Jane Alexander 4. Gannum C. McBee, owner of the famous McBee Ferry.

1. Lemuel McBee (wife's name unknown) is Believed to have had: (1) James A. McBee (2) Catherine McBee m. M.J. Parrot (3) Eliza McBee M. John M. Saylor (4) Mile McBee (5] Samuel McBee perhaps others.

4. GANNUM or Gammon C. McBee lived in Knox County and was an extensive land owner and also the owner of the famous McBee ferry, near Strawberry Plains on the Holston river. The ferry was established about 1790 and was located about where the present highway bridge stands today, and is on the line of Knox and Jefferson Counties. In 1836 McBee was authorized by the County Court of Knox County to erect a toll bridge at the same place. Gannum C. McBee (No. 4) son of Vardry McBee had the following children: (His wife was named Sarah). 1. William McBee (b. 1826) 2. Robert McBee (b. 1829) 3. Albert McBee (b. 1835) 4. Louisa McBee (b. 1838) 5. Gannum McBee (b. 1842) 6. Amanda McBee (b. 1843)

Among others, Samuel McBee (son of Lemuel) in 1842, was embarrassed by the fact that his farm lay in both Knox and Grainger Counties. In reply to his petition the Legislature enacted "that the county line between Knox and Grainger, be so altered as to include in Grainger County that portion of the farm on which Samuel McBee lives, lying in Knox County"

Milo McBee, brother of Samuel and a son of Lemuel, married Galloway who was born in 1838. In 1850, according to Miss Laura Luttrell's 1850 Census of Knox County, he had two daughters, Sarah and Elnora:

Vardry McBee (son of the first Vardry, who came to the Watauga Valley) lived in Lincoln County, North Carolina, where he married Jane Alexander, one of the members of the famous family of that name in Mecklenburg County.

Vardry McBee and his wife Jane Alexander, had five sons, of which one was Vardry Alexander McBee, who married in 1847, Mary Elizabeth Sumner who was the daughter of Benjamin Sumner and his wife Sarah Duke Hunt, the daughter of Dr. Thomas Hunt ( son of Memugan Hunt) and his wife Elizabeth Luke, Benjamin Sumner was of the family of Jethro Hunt, revolutionary patriot of North Carolina. Vardry McBee and Jane Alexander had: Joseph, Malinda Penelope, Silas L., Luther Martin. Hannah Echols, Martha Adaline, Vardry A., William Pinckney and Alexander McBee. Some went to Greenville, South Carolina.

Mockabee (McBee) This name is spelled variously in the records of Virginia and Kentucky as McBee, MacBee, Mocabee, and Mockabee. The McBee family came from Fauquier County, Virgina, to Montgomery County, Kentucky and settled mostly in that part which later became Bath County, Kentucky. In 1798, the Governor of Kentucky laid off a new regiment of militia for the County of Montgomery, and appointed officers for that regiment, including Captain John Mockabee. One of the 40 families living in Mt. Sterling in 1810, as enumerated in the United States Census of that year, was the family of Margaret Mockbee; that family consisted of one adult and one child. The same Census of Montgomery County lists the family of Stephen Mockbee, head of a family of two adults and five children. Stephen Mockbee's wife was Sally Anderson daughter of Presley Anderson and Elizabeth Steele, his wife, of Bath County, Kentucky. Stephen Mockbee was the son of William McBee of Bath County, Kentucky.

William McBee, born about 1759 in Fauquier Co, VA, near Salem, married Mary A. _____, born about 1775 in Culpeper County, Virginia, removed to Mongomery (later Bath) County, Kentucky. Brothers of William were Carter McBee, and John P. McBee. Children of William McBee:

From the North Carolina Guide, edited by Blackwell Robinson, Page 259 under points of interest to be found in Wilmington, N. Carolina.

St. James' Church (Episcopal) SE. corner 3rd and Market Strs. of Gothic Revival design, built by T.U. Walter, architect of the United States capitol dome, was erected in 1839 near the site of an earlier church built in 1751, materials from which were used in the new structure. The parish was founded in 1735. Until the Civil War the interior had galleries around three sides of the nave (for the use of our people of color). A transept was added in 1879. The wooden altar and reredos were carved by SILAS McBEE and his sister, of Sewanee. Tenn. It was used for a hospital during Union occupation of the town.

From an East Tenn. genealogical publication in 1954: Active member list: page 147 Mrs. J.H. McBee, Greenwood, Mississippi Also in this same publication I found William and Lemuel McBee listed as taxpayers in 1806. Another man is mentioned as living at McBee's Ferry (Note: This should have been Gannom McBee)on the Holston (Tennessee) River.

South Carolina guide book excerpts page 244: Greenville County was established in 1786. Its name probably is to recall Issac Green, an early settler. Lemuel J. Alston, a brother of Governor Joseph Alston, the husband of the beautiful and ill-fated Theodosia Burr, came to the county in 1788. He bought 400 acres, a portion of the former plantation of Richard Pearls, and including his mill seat, and there-in 1797 laid out a village called Pleasantburg. Alston built a stately mansion in his little town, sure that settlers would soon be attracted, not only because of the proximity to the mountains, but because of the dawning possibilities for planting cotton and building mills.

Edw. Hooker, who visited Pleasantburg in 1806, gives this picture: "We arrived at Col. Alston's home, which is the most beautiful I have seen in South Carolina. The mansion is on a commanding eminence which he calls Prospect Hill. From the village 600 yards distant, there is a specious avenue formed by 2 handsome rows of sycamore trees."

In 1816 Alston sold his holdings to VARDRY McBEE. Born in Spartanburg County in 1775, McBee was called "The Father of Greenville." He leased the Alston House to Edmund Waddell for a hotel and summer resort until 1835, when he made it his own home, famous for hospitality until McBee's gifts included lands for the first four churches and the first academies. A constructive thinker, McBee recognized the potential sources of wealth in the county's climate and water power, and erected on the Reedy River one of the earliest cotton mills. He was instrumental in removing Furnam University from Edgefield to Greenville in 1851, and in securing for Greenville in 1853 its first railroad, the Columbia and Greenville, Later serving as its president. -289- 1830 Census-East Tennessee-by Byron Sistler Claibome Co.- Isaac McBee --1001-01001-Pg.124 Samuel McBee-03021001-0010001-Pg .110 William McBee-230001-01100 1-Pg. 124 Caswell McBee-20001-00101-Pg.124 Knox Co- G.

TAKE FROM A LETTER FROM KEITH McBEE-NBC REPORTER This is from a newspaper article in the possession of. Pearl Mercer.

Keith McBee was one of the reporters on the Recovery Ship of Apollo 10 and also Apollo 11. He says that he gathers that William McBee was the son of grandson of an Ulster Scot who came through the port of Philadelphia and settled first in Maryland. He says "On a visit through Scotland I checked on the name and found it virtually unknown there and maybe the whole clan left for Northern Ireland, America or parts unknown. As you said there are plenty of us here and even a Catholic Branch in Western Maryland. There is also a tiny town of McBee, South Carolina named for some member of my father's family.

Mr. Great Great Grandfather's name was Allen McBee, he was inspector in the U.S. Arsenal in Harpers Ferry Virginia. My Great Grandfather was named Alfred Griffith McBee. He was born Dec. 2, 1821. In the late 1830's the McBee family moved to Morgan Co., Ohio. Alfred Griffith McBee married his first cousin, Rachel Riley. I have a letter from my great Uncle Allen McBee who wrote that both the McBee and Riley families came from Scotland but tarried for two or three generations in North Ireland. I learned Alfred Griffith McBee had a brother named Sol McBee. Alfred Griffith McBee was a minister and a Methodist Circuit rider in those days. Rachel Riley McBee died and he married Sarah Miller. Her family came by covered wagon to Minn. in 1864. Sarah Millers mother was a Howard from Boston. Sincerely Mrs. Ada Dunn Census-p. 326 Meeker Co. Minn. Collinwood 157-166 McBee A.J. 58 Va. MD Va.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW McBEE BETTER Published about 1952 What is today the McBee Company, with four factories and more than 50 sales offices, started life here in Athens in 1904 as a small partnership owned by Charles F. McBee and Henry Zenner. Mr. McBee was the Freight Agent in Athens for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He conceived the idea of binding loose freight bills and other records into books with a drilling machine and in his spare time, built a rough model of his machine and proved its practicability by neatly binding up the records in his own little office. Eventually he interested Mr. Zenner, who owned the D. Zenner Department Store in Athens, in becoming his partner. The little partnership established itself in a room in a small building on West Union Street and, as you might suppose, it suffered through many days of discouragement, trials, and tough going. In 1906 the struggling enterprise was incorporated as the McBee Binder Company "to manufacture and distribute binding machines and binders for railway office", and for many years the company installed its binding machines and sold its binds in railroad offices and a few large banking and industrial firms. By 1930 the Company had expanded its list of products to include a complete line of loose leaf binders, printed forms, record cards and steel ledger trays and files and maintained two sales organizations, the Railroad Sales Division, carrying on the original business, and the Accounting Equipment Division, distributing its new line of loose leaf products. The increased breadth of its activities brought a change in name to the McBee Company. Today the founders of McBee are no longer at the helm, but the sound policies established by Henry Zenner and Charles McBee still guide our company. (Contributed by Bob McBee)

Page 855 Pryor Lee McBee is of Irish-German Descent, and is a grandson of Israel McBee, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The maternal grand- father Joseph Yadon, was also in that war, coming from Ireland as a British soldier and joining the American Army under Washington. John McBee, the father of Pryor L. McBee was born in Tennessee in 1790 and served in the War of 1812 under Captain Hunter. He married Susie Yadon, a daughter of Joseph Yadon, and their union was blessed in the birth of seven children: Wesley McBee Campbell McBee Eliza McBee Pryor Lee McBee Silas McBee Granville McBee John McBee all of who were born in Granger County, Tennessee. The father was a wealthy farmer, owning 800 acres of land. He lived to be about seventy years of age, dying since the Civil War. Pryor Lee McBee was born in 1822 and was reared, educated and married in his native state. The latter event occurred in 1847, with Hulda Beebe, a daughter of Woolery Beebe. Seven children blessed their union: Angeline, Silas, Joh, James, Sarah, Nancy Elizabeth. Since 1852 Mr. McBee has been a resident of Newton County, Missour, where he owns a farm of 280 acres well situated. In 1863 he enlisted in the Cavalry Service of the Confederate Army under Marmaduke, and was a participant in many battles and skirmishes, becoming sergeant. After the close of the war he returned home and has since followed the peaceful pursuit of farming. He is a Democrat in politics and member of the Baptist Church.

Prosperous in business and influential as a citizen, he is thoroughly representative of those better elements of character and citizenship which have been notable in the development and forward achievements of Northwestern Missouri during the last half century.

There is a McBee cemetery just off State Highway 86 near Des Are, Arkansas, Prairie County, which is located in the wooded area of Wattensaw Bayou. McBee is as common as Smith in post 1860 Prairie County Records. Note: (There are no McBees buried in the McBee Cemetery)

This Eulogy written by F.H. Chambers, Superintendent of the Confederate Home at the time of John McBees death in January 1922. This was submitted by Mrs. Francis W. Campbell, Goleta, California. Confederate Home of Missouri Higginsville, Missouri No more fitting use could be made of the hour which is usually devoted to our church service what is to be made of this hour, for the reason that John McBee's life was a sermon in it self. Again no more fitting place could be selected for this service then the Chapel in which we meet, for John McBee loved this building, and every seat in it, not only for the services and the uses to which they are dedicated, but because he him self for years had charge of this building, not only keeping it in order but opening it every time it was opened, guarding it faithfully and saw to it consistently that it was closed and in good order when not in use.

Mr. McBee located upon his present fine homestead in 1869, but has been a resident of the county since 1865. His farm consists of four hundred and ninety acres, land of the quality that has made Howard County famous for its agricultural products, and its improvements and the growing of fine grain crops and the raising of good stock have offered a steady and profitable occupation for Mr. McBee through the greater part of his active career.

Tennessee is the native state of Mr. McBee, who was born there on October 25, 1844 of Scotch-Irish ancestry that had early located in that commonwealth. His parents were Jesse and Lousyndia (Pool) McBee, both of old Tennessee families. In 1856 the parents moved to Arkansas, but the mother died in Texas. They had six children, two sons and four daughters. Williams's brother John was a soldier of the Confederacy under General Price. The father married again and later moved to Missouri, and then to Texas, where he died near San Antonio at the age of sixty-five. He was a substantial farmer, a good provider and respected citizen, and during the war served as a member of the Home Guards.

William McBee received such educational advantages as were offered by the schools of the localities in which his youth was passed but was a boy when the war came on. He enlisted went into the Confederate Army and at Wilson's Creek was wounded, but continued to serve with Price's army through most of the war. He participated in the defense against Banks Red River Expedition, and was at Greenville, Texas, when hostilities closed and the troops disbanded.

Mr. McBee after the war married Miss Margaret Maxwell, a member of an old and prominent Howard County, family. She was born in Monitequ township, and her father Boswell Maxwell, was an early settler and during the war took an active part in the Confederate cause. Boswell Maxwell was born in Madison County, Kentucky in 1810 and died at the age of seventy-two. His father was Thomas J. Maxwell of Kentucky, settled in Missouri in 1822. Mr. McBee and wife became the parents of five children, namely John, Lennie, Edward, Edwin (Twins) Charles.

John McBee was born January 11 th 1844 in Jackson County, Alabama immediately adjacent to the Tenn. line, he united with the Methodist Church when but a lad, at Cain Hill. Arkansas to which point his family had removed, and of that family he is survived by two brothers and one sister, thirteen grand children and one great grand child.

Our Comrade attended school at Cain Hill, Arkansas. At the age of 18 years, or as soon as he was allowed to do so, early in 1862. John McBee volunteered for service in the Confederate Army and joined Company 1/3. Clarkston Reg. at Clarksville Johnson County Arkansas, he together with Col. Clarkston and 200-comrades was captured by General Blunt in the summer of 1862, on Grand River in the Cherokee Nation, he was held in prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois for four months, and was exchanged with 9000 prisoners at Vicksburg, Miss. and immediately rejoined his original command, serving until the end of the war, when he was discharged at Gainsville, Texas, together with his Capt. Ivan McDonald. John McBee married our sister Louisa Texana Ennis on December 15th 1866, having therefore lived with this good wife 55 years and during all that time they never ceased to be sweet hearts. To this union was born eight children, two of whom died in infancy, but the mother has with her today three of her daughters, Mrs. Fannie Sylvester, Mrs. Nellie Wilson, Mrs. Katie Schowe, all of whom reside in or near Waverly this County, and the son Chas. S. McBee who reside in Billings, Montana. Two daughters Mrs. Sallie Campbell of Billings Montana and Mrs. Eva Hunstable of Santa Barbara, California and whom many of you met when she visited mother and father McBee here at the Home last August, are unable to be present. Bro. McBee's chosen vocation was that of a farmer and he has been a tiller of the soil in Texas and Kentucky, but the greater portion of his life has been spent in this County where he has lived as an honored and honorable citizen.

Our Comrade and his beloved wife came to the Confederate Home from Waverly Mo., arriving here October 6th 1917 and later joined the M.E. Church South of Higginsville. In summing up that life we can truthfully say that it has been a success for John McBee was rich in the things of life which are most to be desired, namely a reputation for truth and veracity a disposition which was the envy of those who knew him best a family of respectful children all living honorable lives and a religion which was real and a reward for this success he has gone to Heaven and into a Home where all of the members of that Home as we are told live much the same lives as John McBee lived here on earth. Of this worthy comrade one of the finest tributes which could be paid to any man is due. John McBee has never been known to say ill of any one was full of appreciation and loved not only his family but his comrades here and thought so much of this Home that although there was much reason for his desiring a lost resting place at Waverly it is at his request and in response to his desires that his body is to be laid away here as he said among his comrades all of whom morn his loss to us although realizing that he has gone to a better Home.

Taken from Ray County History Book: The Davis Family Were we to omit an outline of this family's history in the present volume we should feel our work incomplete, for in this portion, at least, of the county there is not a more prominent or influential family to be found, and certainly none who commanded more respect than this one. Originally of Welsh origin, they early became settled in America., "Uncle Dennis" Davis, as he was familiarly called and known to the people of Caldwell and adjoining counties having been born on the Chesapeake bay in Maryland. When a boy he ran away from home and went to the Blue Grass state, Kentucky where in the fall of 1811 he was married to Miss Joannah Thomas. They continued to reside in Caldwell county, Ky., until 1813 then moving to Madison County Ill., November 22, 1817, her parents having been among the first permanent settlers in the Mississippi Valley. In 1840 John T. Davis came to this county, pre- empted land by hard work made for himself and family a comfortable home. He was well known to early settlers here, enjoying unlimited esteem and respect. He died June 25, 1882 but his widow still survives. Their children were Rosa V., Mary A. Elizabeth, George W., Dennis J.T., Joannah, John T. Margaret H., Hannah P. Walter S.

George W., the eldest son, is probably the best known member of the Davis family now living. He was born in this county March 15, 1844 and was reared to manhood upon his father's farm. In 1861 he became a member of the State Militia and like his father took a decided stand for the Union. While in the State Service he saw considerable duty and in 1864 he joined the 44th Missouri volunteer infantry Co, H, participating in the battles of Franklin, Nashville, Cedar Point, etc., and at Spanish Fort, his health becoming considerably impaired by sickness and exposure. Since the war he has followed farming and stock raising, in which he is recognized as successful and thoroughly informed. His marriage to Miss Paulina G. Noffzinger was consummated October 5, 1865 she having been born at Tinney's Point, Mo., May 1, 1849. Their family consists of Rosetta Mary E. Ara, Isom, Laura, Emon, Ola M., Lute, Joshua, Clyde Charley. Politically Mr. Davis votes with the Greenback party, supporting men best qualified to serve in official positions. He considers the county's interests his interests and today is esteemed one of Caldwell's best citizens. John T. Davis, Jr., son of John T. and Margaret M. Davis, is numbered among the progressive and enterprising young agriculturists of this township. He was born upon the homestead place September 19, 1852, there passing his youthful days and attending the neighborhood schools, and February 2, 1882, he was united in matrimony with Mary A., daughter of Michael Twomy,(probably misspelled should be Toomay) a prominent and well known farmer of Ray County, where Mrs. Davis was born December 4, 1858. Four children have blessed this union: Clarence Claude (twins). Waler and Michael. Mr. Davis is liberal in his political values, aiding measures and not party, and in the intellectual and moral development of the country he is among the foremost. Another son of Dennis Davis was Judge Samuel Davis, a man whose memory is cherished by a host of acquaintances in this vicinity. Born in Madison county, I11., February 10, 1819, he married November 25, 1838, Miss Margaret S. Owen, originally from Owen county, Ind., born December 6, 1821. In 1839 they came to Caldwell county, the first among the Davis family to locate here, and among the very foremost in the present township of Davis. Mr, Davis was a person of much natural ability, of decided and pronounced views regarding politics and religion, and held during his lifetime many positions of honor and trust, the confidence and respect of all who knew him following him to the grave. He died May 23, 1882, universally mourned; his widow now resides upon the old homestead. To himself and worthy companion nine children had been born; Lucinda, Dennis W., Paulina, Payton L., Thomas B., John H., Margaret, Rachel Samuel P. Most of these children are married. Dennis W. is a leading agriculturist of Lincoln township, this county; Thomas B., and Samuel P. reside in Ford County, Kan.; Payton L. lives here. Before closing this sketch mention might be made of other members of the family of "Uncle Dennis" Davis, Lewis F. had an extensive acquaintance here, was four times married, and reared a large family. Joshua, another son, resides in Utah Territory. Elizabeth married John L. Shrum, an early settler of this locality and a most upright citizen. Elizabeth married Eben Fairchild, and they are now residents of California. Clarissa died in Illinois, and Robert departed this life in 1848 while enroute to Missouri, from Illinois.

In taking a retrospective view of the career of the family referred to in this connection, as it relates to Caldwell county, we feel ourselves incompetent to add anything to what has been already said. Nor is it necessary. Almost with out exception they have been a family moral, public-spirited, industrious in every particular, and one by whose assistance the affairs of the county have been greatly benefited and encouraged. Their name is a synonym of honor.

"THE BENNERS" This is not a complete research but is entered as a source of information for others that may be researching the Benners. Also Elias Benner was Catherine McBee's father, so there is a tradition for his descendants My special thanks goes to Merlen Penrose, Grass Valley, California for all her help. The Vradenburg Family Outline is completely her work as this has been her hobby.

This is a tradition that was passed in the family. It is Believed that this record is taken from Cathrine's Benner McBee's Bible. "This record of the arrival of the nine Benner brothers was as follows." In the middle of the seventeenth century nine brothers of the Benner family came to America from Rotterdam, Among the passengers of an American Ship Three Sisters of Brenner, November 30, 1855, came Jacob Benner Miller. This is perhaps the nephew of the Benner Brothers.

Dwight Medbery writes, "I do know that my mother's mother was a Benner, Mary Tabitha and that she came from Illinois after marrying my grandfather, Abram Vermilya. They settled in Dexter, Minnesota from which place my folks moved here in 1907. As for our immediate family, there were four of us, Everett, Shirley, Wendall and myself. Everett has died and Wendall farms close to town on the old home place that my father bought when he and his brother moved up here from Dexter, where by the way they operated a generalstore. Everett was married twice, having three sons, Everett Jr., Michael and Terrence by his first wife Marie and two children by his second wife Edna, Jeffery and Cynthia. Shirley has one daughter Alexis. My wife and I still live in Browns Valley, Dwight Jr. is in Tampa, Glen is Minneapolis and Alec in the Air Force, presently in Biloxi.

The only interesting thing that come to mind about our ancestry on the Vermilya side is that one of our Italian forbears, one Vermiglio was a priest in Italy in the late 1400's and was chased out of the country because he married and this trek up through Europe in which we were mixed with a number of races and even had a Protestant Bishop among us who helped write the St. James version of the Bible. I Believe his name was Houghton."

May 7 1969 Dear Cousins; Your good letter of March 25 was received. After so long I am enclosing some papers that maybe of interest to you. I must apologize for the wrong impression I had concerning your relationship to me. At first thought I said that you, Merlen, had to be a great-granddaughter of Uncle Henry and Aunt Charlotte Benner. The paper, of which I am enclosing a copy, was found among other things left by my father W.C. Benner who died June 13 1950. You will note on the Benner Family record--children of Elias and Mary Benner--a line for Mary or Marie Benner born on Sept. 8 1823--died--and the rest of the line is blank. This paper (copy) is presumed to have been prepared by Mr. Frank D. Penney whose mother was a McBee. I am sure this omission by him was just an oversight and unintentional. If convenient to you at some time, I would be glad to know more about the Marie and Christopher Vradenburg Family. Mr. and Mrs. Stansel called on us last week for a short visit. She has collected quite a lot of information concerning the early ancestry of the Golden family. Thank you for the George Benner Family Register. There are a few incorrect or possible misprints as; Emily Bradley b-1833 Ira Benner--Maggie Miller married 1886 George N. Benner b-1905 Jessie M. Ford d--1956 Edna Hanson d-1956 and others of which I am not aware. The accounts of the "Haun's Mill Massacre" was condensed for the Nauvoo III Independent Article. The statement on the Plaque is self- explanatory. I am surprised that the Missouri authorities would admit to, and use the word "Massacre" My Grandfather George Benner died April 10 1904- my grandmother on Feb. 28 1909. I am quite sure that he didn't keep the Mormon faith after coming to Illinois. When he died he was a member of Golden's Point Christian Church near Nauvoo Ill. To digress somewhat-if I didn't mention it before-we have one daughter living here since 1946. Our other daughter will soon move to the Santa Ana vicinity. Her husband will work for the Townsend Co of Santa Ana. Then our six grandchildren (two of them married) will all be in California and of course too, our great-granddaughter born DEC, 25 1967. My wife and I came here from the Chicago Area in 1953. I spent 37 years in the Railway Mail Service-SS yrs on trains between Chicago and Omaha Nebr. Two years was spent in the Army of which 20 months was in France--1917--1919. You folks seem to be quite busy. We are retired but get about quite a lot at that. We are members of and attend the local Methodist Church. Know that you as well as all parents are very glad to have your son home from Vietnam--trust that he can have that shoulder taken care of properly. And the grandson has to be quite a joy to both of you. I am a poor correspondent so I will close, thanking you for the good letter, wishing good health and happiness for all your family. Sincerely, Irene & Lloyd Mr & Mrs B L Benner Byron Lloyd Benner 44932 11th St. west Lancaster Calif 93134

Waubeek, Pepin Co., Wis. March the 19, 1865 My Dear Son Being alone today and lonesome, I will try to write a few lines to let you know that we are all well that is all that are at home, your father and Henry are up at Usher's and I know not when they will be at home. When Henry was up there before he had the misfortune to have a tree to fall on him and hurt his right leg some but not so bad that he could not walk. It was lucky for him that the snow was deep or it would have killed him but as it was it buried him in the snow. He came home and then your father went up with him, they want to make some sugar if they can. We have had a snow storm s the snow is two feet deep on the level and it is drifted almost to the top of this board fence. George and Bradley are out at the barn playing with Bell now, and Mary, James and William and Salina are making some gum. Eunice is gone to Sunday School, Syrena is not staying at home, she is with Mina and I heard that they went to the Catholic meeting today. They were all well the last account. The neighbours are all well as far as I know of. If the snow would go off then I might go and see the folks but I cannot go now. To day is the warmest day we have had this winter and I hope it will keep on warme for we have had a very cold time. There will be no draft in Waubeek for they have hired men enuff they give three hundred dollars a pease that makes some of them look wild so the boys can stay at home yet, where I wish you were. I can't hardly wait till your time is out why did you and Edwin Drake go, and the rest can stay at home. I do wish you were here too. I cannot sleep some time for thinking how you must suffer sometime when you are a marching and it makes my blood run cold to think to what danger you are in. Oh how earnestly I do pray to God to keep you from all harm, and your companions. 0h how I wish that this Cruel war was at an end but my child if we do not meet in this world let us try to meet in heaven where parting is no more and where no war will part brothers and sisters and parents from their children. You mag think this is foolishness if it is I am sure I cannot help it; if I had the wings of an eagle I would fly to where you are and then I would know how it was with you but I have not got them so I cannot fly but when you get this I do hope it will find you well. Put your trust in the Lord and He will not forsake you when you go out against your foes let your heart be lifted to God in prayer and He will protect you from all harm; be not ashamed to pray. Well, I have no news to write now. Write soon and tell us all you can with out danger and I hope you will get home again before long is my sincere prayer. You must look over the mistakes and bad spelling and bad writing and so on. If you need anything and we can get it for you let us know. So no more. Write soon, I remain your mother until death, from Maria Vradenburg to her soldier Elias Vradenburg The children all send their love to their brother and a kiss and goodby. Tell us whether you got it.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Historical Department

February 27, 1973 Janice Mercer Box 562 Excelsior Springs, Missouri 64024 Dear Mrs. Mercer: Enclosed are xerox copies of the most recent studies of the Haun's Mill Massacre. You will note that the indicents described are the same as those narrated in the affidavit you sent to us for comment. We are not aware, however, that the site was ever known as "Benner's Mill," although Elias Benner was present and did die in the tragedy. The records that are known that are contemporary to the event agree in calling the Shoal Creek mill of the massacre Haun's Mill, although other mills did exist on the creek. We would like to keep the copy of the affidavit you sent us on file, and if you uncover additional evidence that the Mill in question was also known as "Benner's Mill" we would be pleased to know of it. Sincerely, Ronald K. Esplin Historical Associate

The Benners first settled in Pennsylvania when they came to America. They came to Missouri from Stark Co. Ohio; Canton was the Co. Seat and they lived close to Canton on a farm. Grandfather Benner was doing well when he lived in Ohio. I do not know whether the Benners came to Missouri when the McBees did or not. The McBees settled in the Mo. River Valley about 6 miles from the Mo. River, where the town of Hardin now is. The high waters drove them to the hills. Great Grandfather, Elias Benner, owned 200 acres of land where Hardin, Mo., is built on part of it; he also owned 40 acres about 25 miles north of this 200 acres. At one time the Ray Co. line extended north to the Iowa line, the 40 acres is in Caldwell Co.; on this 40 acres Great Grandfather Elias Benner lived. At that time. The lines were not so well known, and he put his buildings just north of the line on a Mr. Davis's land. Mr. Davis had one child Jeff Davis, I went with Jeff Davis to this place once, and I Believe I could go back there, it has been 20 yrs or more ago. Mr. Davis showed me where his house was; he said there were some rocks used as door steps with letters cut on them. I presume they were some family names. If the rocks were there then they were burried with leaves and dirt. Elias Benner had a Black smith shop close to the house also a water mill down on the creek about a quarter of a mile. I think several families lived close to Great Grandfather's.

This mill was on Mud Creek. There is nothing left of any of the buildings they were log houses at that time. There was timber there then and still is. Some people have this Mormon massacre mixed with a place called Hauns mill also I think the Mormans have it Hens mill but that is not correct. However, there was a place by the name of Hawns Mill (Marshall's Mills now), but this was Benner's mill. They have the Burs from a water mill in the Park at Breckenridge, Mo. claimed to be taken from Hauns mill and it is also claimed they were taken from Benners mill I do not know which is correct. Breckenridge is about 20 miles north of where Great Grandfather was killed.

A man by the name of Charley Burnette owns the 40 acres now. I am satisfied our Great Grandfather Benner was a Morman. Charley Benner had his Bible, Charley was Uncle George's boy. My mother did not think he was a Morman, that he only done work for them. My Aunt Amanda Ringer who lived in Stockton, California, was back here on a visit; an old man by the name of James Milligan told her that her Grandfather was a Morman and she should be proud of it. At that time, Grandmother said he was a Morman but had not been one very long and did not understand them very well. They had some of his money and they were in his shop; he was trying to get his money back from them when the Malitia came upon them. He could of had gold hidden and I never heard of it. My grandmother never talked a great deal about it so I have been told. Seems as the Mormans were not wanted in Missouri, and the feelings of the people were anything but good. Once upon a time when my mother's three youngest brothers were playing with a neighbor boy by the name of Marion Lane in my Grandmother's barn loft, Marion Lane said my Grandmother could be a liar as she was a Morman. Uncle Ray McBee and Uncle George McBee came very near throwing him out of the loft. He then said your Grandfather was a Morman.

At the time of Great Grandfather's death he and several Mormons were in the shop when the Malitia came upon them. Uncle Henry Benner was there also. He crawled out of a hole in the shop and ran or he would of been killed also.

On the evening of Oct. 29, 1838 four families came in from Ohio. The Mormons had word the Malitia were coming; some wanted to go to Far West and others wanted to stay and protect their belongings; they decided to stay and David Evans was chosen Captain. Twenty-five (25) men and boys were armed with guns. The Malitia came upon them from the north and west. The Mormons estimated them at 200 and other people say they were only 50. The women and children sought shelter in the woods and the men remained in Great Grandfather Benner's black smith shop; they finally abandoned the shop and went to the woods. My mother that if they had of stayed in the shop so many of them would not of been killed. 10 men and 1 boy are wounded. 17 were killed and died from wounds. The dead are: Thomas McBride, Levi N. Merrick, Elias Benner, Augestine Harmer, Simon Cox, Hiram Abbott, John York, John Lee, John Byeres, Warren Smith, Charles Merrick age 9 yrs, Sardius Smith age 10 yrs.

After the Malitia left, the women and children came out of the woods. This happened Oct. 30th, 4:00 p.m., 1838. The Mormons give it as Tuesday and that the moon was shining that night, that it was a pitiful sight and suffering was immense. It was said the women and children could be heard crying and the dog howling. There was no Doctor in the camp and the next morning the bodies were in such condition that with the assistance of the women they were put on a plank and carried to an unfinished dug well close by and slipped off the board into the well with some straw thrown in on them and some dirt. The next spring a man living at Black Oak finished filling in this well, Elias Benner being one of them. This was on Mud Creek and close to Black Oak. The town of Braymer was built later about 5 miles north and east of Black Oak. The house where this occurred from Black Oak Methodist Church and Cemetery is a short distance to the east than 1/4 mile to north and 1/4 mile east than 1/2 mile north than east across a field 1/4 mile or more, to where the mill was is probably 1/4 mile or less east. This mill was buried by the Mormons. The Mormons give it they went to Far West where there were about 5,000 of them and later to Nauvoo. Ill. Far West is about 20 miles northwest of Benner's mill. And at a place they call Hauns mill there were 7 killed and buried in a well, some get the 2 places mixed. I do not know when the family went to Ill., but I presume when the rest of the Mormons did, (went to Illinois, 1839).

When I first heard of the Benners they were settlers of Pennsylvania; don't knew whether they settled there when they first came to America or not.

This is what has been handed down to me by older people and I am quite sure it is correct. Typed: April 22, 1957 By: Frank D. Penny Box 242 Excelsior Springs, Mo .

Killed 1/4 mile East of Black Oak near Braymer, 1/2 mile north about a 1/4 mile East, Owned 40 acres in the early days didn't know the lines very well and built just over the north line on Jeff Davis father's land. He had a black smith shop not far from house also had a water mill East probably 1/4 mile from the house on one branch of Mud Creek. The mill was buried kill by the Malitia during Mormon war and buried with 17 others in a new dug well and the settler threw dirt on their bodies a few days after as they were in no condition take out and hurry and Henry Benner son of Elias crawled out of a hole in the black smith shop and run to the brush or he would of been killed also. The rest of the family took refuge in the timber north of the house as told both Caty his daughter that he had let the Mormons have some money and was trying to get it back. and they had gathered in his shop at the mill when the Malitia came upon them. He also owned 200 acres of land at Hardin in Ray Co. which old Hardin is built on. and there was a John Benner so the recorder office shows at Richmond who might of been a brother of Elias there was also $700.00 according to Records in records office at Richmond Ray Co. Mo. Henry Renfro who used to run a drug store at Mill was in the Malitia that killed Elias Benner.

Elias Benner could of been a Mormon. The Mormons claim so. None of the family was. Mother said he wasn't, they were in his shop he was trying to get money back he had loaned them. He owned 200 acres were Hardin Mo. is I don't Believe the family got his wealth. Frank D. Penny
