Bio of James J McKee, The History of Cass and Bates Counties, Missouri, National Historical Company, 1883

JAMES J. MCKEE, farmer and stock dealer, was born in Richland County, Ohio, September 14 1837 and was the son of James McKee, of Irish origin, his father being a native of Ireland and coming to America when sixteen years of age. The mother of James McKee (Isabel Fulton) came from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
The subject of this sketch is the sixth of a family of ten children, of whom seven are now living, one sister, Anna K. (wife of D. N. Thompson) being in Bates County. His mother is living in Henry County, Iowa.
Mr. McKee enjoyed more than average school facilities in youth, receiving a good common school education. He was also able to attend college for some little time. In the year 1859, he moved to Iowa with the family, and lived for some years in Henry County.
In 1864, he went across the plains and until 1868, was engaged in freighting from the Missouri River to various points in Colorado and New Mexico. In 1869, leaving the plains he located near Pleasant Hill, in Cass County, but at the close of one summer, he came to Bates County, securing a tract of 160 acres on which he now lives. He has since been trading and now has a finely situated and well improved farm of 200 acres, three miles southeast of Butler. Mr. McKee handles quite an amount of stock, handling the short horn cattle and Poland China hogs. I
In 1873, February 24, he married Miss Sarah A. Hoffman, daughter of John H. Hoffman, of this county. She has one sister, Virginia (wife of G. C. Miller). They have three children: Mary Belle, Newton Wallace and James Fulton.
Religiously, Mr. McKee is connected with the Presbyterian Church. He is a Greenbacker in politics and in questions of education, morals, etc. is a man who shows mature thought and deliberation.
