      "Jacob McGee:

      Jacob McGee was the son of John McGee and Fanny Deal of Newton, Catawba County, N.C. John was born on 3 February 1789 and died 5 March 1878. He was a gunsmith and blacksmith by trade. Fanny was born in 1791 and her death occurred before the 1860 census. The 1850 census gives John's place of birth in Mecklenburg County, N.C.

      The "History of the Wendell Miller Family" compiled by James T. Miller in 1924 states he was born in Tennessee and came to N.C. as a young man. John is buried at Old St. Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Newton, N.C. If Fanny is buried beside him she doesn't have a marker.

      Jacob McGee was born 1 April 1818 in Lincoln County, now Catawba County, N.C. He married Mary Adaline Sigman on 7 August 1838 in Lincoln County, N.C. Mary was born 1 August 1820, Catawba County, N.C., the daughter of Barnet Sigman Jr. and Polly Fry.

      Jacob and Mary Adaline lived in Newton, Catawba County, N.C. Newton was laid [out] around 1842, at the time when Catawba County was being formed from land broken off from the then-sprawling Lincoln County. The location of Newton was donated by private property owners. On April 1843 the land of Jacob McGee and two others were selected as the town site. The new village bordered on the waters of Clark's Creek. . . .

      Jacob and Mary Adaline were the parents of six children: John Calvin, Mary Jane, James Monroe "Jonas", Hosiah Elcanah "Hosea", Eli Elijah, and William Henry. All were born in Catawba County, N.C. . . .

      Jacob McGee and Mary Adaline Sigman were married ten short years. Jacob was only 30 years old when he died 6 September 1848. He was buried at Old St. Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Newton, N.C.


      John Calvin McGee (8 May 1839-16 June 1840) and Mary Jane McGee (22 February 1841-11 July 1841) died in infancy and are buried at Old St. Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Newton, N.C."
