RESEARCH NOTE: From Michael Hendrix family tree, Ancestry - There is considerable disagreement between McGehee/Magee researchers concerning William MackGehee's parents and children. Much of this confusion stems from the fact that descendents of William MackGehee, Sr. and his brother Samuel lived, farmed and socialized within a rather small area comprised of the four corners of Caroline, Spotsylvania, Hanover and Louisa counties, primarily separated by the North Ann River. Several of these descendents over three generations were named William and it is not always possible to distinguish one from another. It has been concluded by most researchers that William MackGehee, Jr. (son of William MackGehee, Sr. who died before Dec. 1748 in Caroline Co., VA) was born about 1702 and probably in New Kent Co., VA.Many researchers have also concluded that this William MackGehee, Jr. married Elizabeth McCullough, (daughter of John McCullough) about 1730 and that they probably had at least one child prior to moving from VA to Edgecombe Co., NC. Early records of Edgecombe Co., NC show that John Steward on 22 Aug. 1733, deeded to "William Magee of Edgecombe Co. a plantation on the north east side of Fishing Creek whereon Magee now lives". On 30 May 1748, Joseph Moore deeded 120 acres of land on the north side of the Conehoe River in Edgecombe Co. to son-in-law William Magee (believed to have been the oldest son of William MackGehee, Jr. and married to Joseph's daughter Ann). From Sampson Co., NC Deed Bk. 3, p. 378, "on 19 Oct. 1772, Thomas Magee granted to Phillip Magee (his brother) land on Coheary which was part of a patent to William Magee, now deceased, which fell to Thomas by heirship."

RESEARCH NOTE: Notes from Michael Hendrix family tree, Ancestry - John Magee is believed to have been the son of William MackGehee, Jr. and Elizabeth McCullough who were in Edgecombe Co., NC as early as 1733. John Steward deeded to William Magee of Edgecombe Co., NC on 22 Aug. 1733 "the plantation on the northeast side of Fishing Creek whereon McGee now lives". On 30 May 1748, Joseph Moore for love and affection to son-in-law William Magee (believed to have been the brother of John), granted him 120 acres of land on the north side of the Conehoe River in Edgecombe Co., NC. On 13 Feb. 1753, Joseph Moore signed his will naming children (including his daughter Ann Magee) and the will was probated in Feb. 1757.John Magee was probably married about 1760 in Duplin Co., NC, although no record of this marriage has yet been found. A John Magee is known to have purchased land in Sampson Co., NC, but this was probably William's brother. From Sampson Co., NC Deeds #8, p.331, "in 1789, John Magee of Sampson Co., granted deed of land on east side of Great Coheary to son Phillip". In 1790, John Magee is shown on the Census of Sampson Co., NC along with one male over 21 and one female. John Magee is believed to have had at least four sons - John, Jr., Jacob, Phillip and Solomon. It is also believed that John's brother William had children of similar names, leading to the confusion of Magee families in Edgecombe, Duplin and Sampson Cos., NC. It is believed that John Magee died in Duplin Co., NC about 1802 and that he apparently did not move with his children to SC. It is also believed that his wife died about 1804 in NC.
