About David Anthony McKee
1850 Census records the following children in David A. and Sarah (STRAUP) McKEE's household:
W. A. [male] 9 INDIANA
Mary A. 3 "
David __(?) 1 "
STROUSS, Reubin 12 "
She includes, "David McKEE owned real estate valued at $100..."
From the line numberings on this extraction, it appears that David and his family resided on one side of his father, Anthony W. McKEE, and David's brother, Albert Russell and his family lived on the other.
McKEE CEMETERY, an abandoned cemetery located in the back of a field on the "Old Alonzo Sheets (now Joseph Richards) farm, R.R.3, in Rochester Twp, Fulton Co., IN. It is on 250 North, about one and three-tenths miles west of 250 N & 400 W...about 1-1/2 mi. west of Loyal..."
This cemetery had been recorded in a 1935 publication by the DAR, but at that time only about 4 graves were recorded. In October, 1975, the recent recording was conducted. Re David McKEE, the following appears on p 53: "(<nowiki>----</nowiki>), <nowiki>-------</nowiki>.
Note: All that remains of this marker is the top section, with a 5-6 inch millstone carved in it. It might be the missing top to the David A. McKee grave marker. Census records indicate that he was a miller...(1) "David A. McKEE" b. 1816 OH, identified as a "miller" in 1860 census, m (by 1841) Sarah A., and it was this family, with whom Reubin Stroup resided in 1850... (----),--------- 56yr-3mo-(21?)da.
Note: The lower half of the stone is all that remains. Manitou Chapter D.A.R., "Genealogical Survey, Fulton County, Indiana "Cemeteries," 1935, reveals that David A. McKEE died Feb. 20, 1873, age 56yr-3mo-25da. This must be his stone. He resided in city of Rochester 1860, in Newc." (Newcastle) "twp in 1870, and his widow was living in Bloomingburg, Newc. twp in 1880.)" (There follows a lengthy passage re Reubin STROUP and his parents, etc.)
October, 1995, compiler recieved a photocopy of a two and one-half page record of the McKEE Cemetery in Rochester Township, Fulton Co., IN. In that reprint were found the stone inscriptions for the graves of Anthony, Nancy (AGNEW), David A., and Brant McKEE. This abandoned cemetery also contains the grave of "Reubin STROUP, Son of J. & M. STROUP, died Dec. 14, 1853, age 16 yr & 5 da."
There is a very lengthy discussion concerning the possible parents, etc. of this young man. Compiler at first assumed that Reubin was probably a brother to Sarah (STRAUP) McKEE, but the birth date given for Sarah and an 1814 birthdate for "Martha" STROUB, who is thought to be the mother of Reubin, are only 7 years apart. Obviously, Martha could not have been the mother of both Reubin and Sarah. The two women could have been sisters-in-law...Sarah's brother (possibly Joseph STROUP who was in Shelby Co., IN in 1840) having been Martha's first husband.
Per the information given in this reprint, Martha was married at least three times, and had a son named Silas V./M. STROUB who was evidently born about 1847. In 1860 Martha was residing in Wayne Twp. in Fulton Co. with her third husband, Samuel STUBBS, his four children and Martha's three children - Silas "M." STROUB (age 14, Albert A. STROUB (age 11) and Mary GILL (age 7, who was the daughter of Martha and her second husband, Spencer GILL.)
"Silas M. STROUP" was a veteran of the Civil War ("...Pvt. Co. A. 155 Regt Ind.). There is also a listing in "Guardianship Index, Fulton Co., IN", which indicates that guardianship papers were filed Apr. 5, 1855, for Silas STROBE; final report date 19 Apr. 1866. There appears to be considerable confusion in identifying this family and its members.
Compiler suspects that the Reubin STROUSS who appears in the McKEE household in 1850 was in some way related to Sarah (STRAUP) McKEE, and that the Reubin STROUP who is buried in the McKEE Cemetery is the same person as STROUSS.
There is also a grave marker for "(-----), Olive M., dau. of ------" located in this cemetery. The explanation given in the photocopy record is that the top part of the marker was all that was found. The surname and the name(s) of the parent(s) were not readable. The marker appeared to be "a child-type marker with a lamb carved in the top." This may have been a child of Sarah A. (STRAUP) and David A. McKEE; it may also have been a daughter of Anthony and Nancy (AGNEW) McKEE, and a sister to David.
Found by another researcher in FULTON COUNTY INDIANA CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS (with genealogical notes) Rochester Township (1993) by Jean C. & Wendell C. Tombaugh as follows: McKEE CEMETERY. . . Two other McKee families, living in Rochester Twp in 1850, near the Anthony W. McKee household, and who were probably related, were: (1) David A. McKee b.1816 Ohio, identified as a "miller" in 1860 census, m. (by 1841) Sarah A., and it was this family, with whom Reubin Stroup resided in 1850. . . . 1935 reveals: David A. McKee, d. Feb 20, 1873, ae 56y-3m-25d. He resided in Rochester 1860, in Newcastle Twp in 1870, and his widow was living in Bloomingsburg, Newcastle Twp in 1880.] STROUP, Reuben, son of J. & M., d. Dec 14, 1853, ae 16y-5d
[NOTE: There is no clear certainty as to the names of the parents of Reuben Strout. The name is spelled several ways: Stroup, Stroub, Straub, Stroab and Strobe.
Indiana Census 1840, includes: Samuel Stroup, in Elkhart Co. Barnhart's History of Fulton Co Ind, p. 32, states that Samuel Stroub was an early settler of Wayne Twp., Fulton Co., in 1840. Fulton Co Ind Early Tract Book, shows that Samuel Stroab of Cass Co Ind purchased land in Wayne Twp, 1841. Also Fulton Co Ind Commissioners Record "A", includes the name of Samuel Stroub in the list of Petit Jurors for Sept. Term 1843. And lastly, concerning the estate of Samuel Stroub, Admr., Jacob Shafer, was appt'd Sept. 29, 1849, and Final Report was accepted July Term 1854 (Jean C. & Wendell C. Tombaugh, Fulton Co Ind Probate Docket "A", 1836-1856).
Martha Stroub, b.ca.1814 Penn, might have been the mother of Reuben Stroup. Obviously, Martha first m. a Stroup, and next Spencer Gill Dec. 25, 1849. Spencer Gill was a resident of Ripley Co Ind in 1840 (Census; also seeFulton Co Ind M.R.) Spencer Gill and his wife, Martha, his four children, and her son Silas V. Stroub (ae 3yr) were residents of Fulton Co Ind, Wayne Twp, in 1850 Census. The Fulton Co Ind Census 1860, reflects still a third marriage for Martha, and Fulton Co Ind M.R. indicate that on Nov. 15, 1857, Martha Gill m. Samuel Stubbs. Samuel and Elias Stubb and Joseph Stroup were all residents of Shelby Co Ind in 1840, and were perhaps acquainted before coming to Fulton Co.
Samuel Stubbs, 1814-1889 (Fulton Co Ind Cem, Union Twp) and his 2nd wife, Martha, his four children, and her three children: Silas M. Stroub (ae 14yr), Albert A. Stroub (ae 11yr), and Mary Gill (ae 7yr), residents of Wayne Twp, Fulton Co Ind (Census 1860)
Fulton Co Ind Guardianship Index indicates that guardianship papers were filed on April 5, 1855, for Silas Strobe; final report date April 19, 1866. Silas M. Stroub was a Pvt Co A, 155 Regt Ind, in the Civil War (Peattie, History of Fulton Co Ind, p. 12)
