Notes for Jane HARPER
From Mills Co Biography of son James:
“In 1830 they emigrated to Indiana, settling in the dense woods on the Wabash river. Here Mr. McGee took up and cleared one hundred and twenty acres of government land, laboring as only a man of stalwart frame and perfect health could do, being ably assisted by a faithful and devoted wife. She was noted for her capable management of her household, not only caring for it and her family, in the wilderness, but proving in every way a real and true helpmate for her husband, and her descendants honor her memory. Six sons and four daughters came to them, six of the family still living, all in Iowa, with the exception of one son, who is in California. William McGee died in Fountain county, Indiana, in 1850, the mother of our subject surviving until 1891, dying in Shenandoah, Fremont county, Iowa.” (https://sites.rootsweb.com/~iamills/Biography/1901bio/1901i.htm#McGEE)
“Jane, born November 27,1800 in Monroe co. Va. married there to William McGee August 12, 1820. He was born February 22, 1797 in Kentucky , parents unknown but thought to have come from Virginia.
