Martha Jane McGee

Martha Jane McGee

b. 1 Oct 1846

d. 8 Oct 1889

m. Isaac Jones, 30 Jan 1864

After finding the names of William "Wiley" James McGee's siblings (documented in my previous post), I decided to quickly search FindAGrave.com for McGees that were buried in Harrison County, hoping for several.

Only one turned up: Martha Jane (McGee) Jones. Find A Grave Memorial Page

This appears to be Martha, William's sister, from the 1860 census. The headstone image reveals that Martha Jane McGee married Isaac Jones. I was able to find a marriage record from Harrison County, Indiana for Martha Jane McGee and Isaac Jones (30 Jan 1864).

Unfortunately, I was unable to find a detailed marriage record to confirm Martha's parents as William McGee and Anna (Shewmaker). The headstone dates also align with the estimated birth year for Martha based on the data in the 1860 census (abt 1847 vs. 1 Oct 1856).

Based on this, I accept the Martha Jane (McGee) Jones to be William "Wiley" James McGee's sister.

Unfortunately, this is the only McGee that I can find on Find A Grave in Harrison County. However, it appears that there are several members of the Jones family in Rehoboth Cemetery as well.
