Hello, I am also researching the McFees of Fayette Co, PA.
I descend from John McFee's brother, Samuel McFee.
I show Allen with 7 children:Flora, William, May, Cora, Eva, Arthur, and Harry.
Per Mrs Bertha Woodward of Richmond, IN "He (Allen Benjamin McFee) and one of his brothers came down the Ohio river on a boat bound for Cincinnatti, but on the trip, the boat was destroyed by fire and all family records were lost. My grandfather was never quite sure of his age. He secured work in the ship yards at Cincinnatti, but the brother supposed to have gone Northwest and nothing more heard of him." Have you ever heard that story? Just wondering which brother was with him? He had 2 brothers that I know of William and John.
Let me know what you think?
Liz
