=================================================

One has sent a linage of

1. Hugh McKee 1668-1746
2. William McKee 1701-1785 (this is the weak link in the chain, I am hoping to find church records. It could be that William McKee (Jr) was born to one of Hugh's other sons.) .
3. William McKee 1744-1830 (taken from gravestone in 1st Boardmills graveyard. He was buried with his son Hamilton who would have been John's brother, therefore I presume John named his son - my ancestor Hamilton after his brother.
4. John McKee 1795-1842 (Died relatively young at age 47 - his wife Ruth McKee is listed on the Griffith Valuation as being resident at House 13/14/15 Bresagh townland, they seemed to control quite allot of land at this time or four neighbouring farms)
5. William John McKee 1832-1872 (his residence is confirmed using Griffiths Valuation Records his address was House 16 a/b - Bresagh townland)
6. Hamilton Mckee 1856-1915 (Hamilton was born in Bresagh townland which is were Boardmills is located and next to Lisbane townland which is were Hugh McKee was awarded lands)
7. Sarah Graham (nee McKee)
