Meek E-Mail: gtmeek7@hotmail.com Homepage Title: words from the belowgosphere Homepage URL: http://gtmeek.blogspot.com Referred By: Search Engine Location: Moss Point Mississippi Comments: Dear Eleanor, thank you for this wonderful site. At the age of 50, with two grown sons & two small granddaughters, I am finally beginning to seriously research my family history. I grew up here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, being told stories of the McGehees & MacGregors by my mother, Bobbye Erline McGehee Meek, & her parents, Thomas Ford McGehee & Mattie Johnson McGehee (whose mother was a McDade from Louisiana; they have interesting Scottish stories, too). My grandfather's parents were John Hiram McGehee (known around southwest MS as "Uncle Hiram") & Alice Catherine Ford. The family history handed down to me closely agrees with our lines as featured on your site. Through my mother, I descend directly, in an otherwise male line, from Edward & Elizabeth (deJarnette) McGehee, as follows. My great-grandfathers-McGehee before John Hiram were: James Madison, James, Samuel V., Edward, & Thomas MackGehee (called "The Immigrant"). After reading your research, I am now fascinated by the mystery that the MacGregor connection may be erroneous, & the notion that it may have been the fabled Thomas' father who actually emigrated. Also, I am proud to find that my gggggrandfather served in the American Revolution. In 1970 my mother recieved certification of her greatgrandfather James Madison McG.'s service as a private in Co. B in the 13th Regiment of Mississippi Infantry of the CSA, from the MS Dept. of Archives & History. I did not find him in your listings of military service. I now have those papers if you are interested. I also have other details on my line I would be honored to share with you. I also grew up knowing that author Stark Young was my distant cousin, but have only just begun to read some of his work. I have just finished reading his enchanting 1926 novel HEAVEN TREES, essentially a fictionalized memoir of the daily social life of his Mississippi McGehee ancestors, set in the 1850's & narrated by a young teenaged boy (of Stark Young's grandfather's generation, approximately). Charming, & very funny, it presents a romantic picture of the agrarian world of the McGehee family before the events of the War (which are recounted in Young's 1934 novel SO RED THE ROSE). Thank you again for your work; I know that I, like many others, will continue to benefit from your generous sharing of it.
