General Notes: Husband - John McGee

---

He was a native of Ireland and of Scotch descent. After the inauguration of the American Revolution, he and a brother started for the New World with the intention of joining the Colonial forces, but with the other young men on board the vessel they were captured by the British. On landing at one of the New England ports, the brother managed to escape, but John was taken into the British army, and they were thus separated for some time. Subsequently, in battle, the Americans were victorious, and among the British that were captured was John McGee. The brothers then remained together during the entire seven years of their service in the Continental army, and for meritorious conduct and bravery John was promoted to the rank of colonel. After the close of the war they located in Pennsylvania. During the War of 1812, they again entered the service, but hostilities ceased while they were on their way to the front. After several removals, John McGee finally located near Curtin's Furnace, in Centre County, where he reared his family of six children.
The brothers finally became separated, and nothing further is known of the other.
