Linsey MCKEE [Parents] was born in S. Carolina. He married Martha HAND on 7 Sep 1837 in Carroll, Georgia.
From the Randolph Cty 'Toiler', on Linsey's term as Sheriff:
Lindsay McKee was elected in 1865, as a Union-man. A brother of John V. McKee and lived in Beat 4. He was clever, liberal and a better
neighbor did not live in that section of country. Everybody liked Lindsey personally, but being oppressed, stigmatized and persecuted
for his political opinions, he became rather partisan and when the surrender came, the other fellows who had had a Divers time woke
up in trouble. They didn’t ask for mercy, but sought other climes with peaceful surroundings, and got Lindsey decided to do so too, and
shortly after the war moved to Minnesota where he still lives. I conclude from the above that it was 1867 at the earliest that
Linsey moved to the ALabama settlement.
The 1860 Census shows Linsey and Martha McKee living in Alabama. He is a farmer. The 1870 Census shows Linsey and Martha McKee
living in Polk county,Wisconsin.IGI source batch#8726508, sheet#34, source call#1396411

REMARKS:The following is from Mark McKee's notes:
Exemption from Military Service CSA 1861-1865. Linsey was a constable in Randolph Cty, AL, during the Civil War. Exemption was given
by authority of Governor's correspondence, 1863 -1864. Moved to Wisconsin with or before Milton McKee, et al. Also from mark McKee:Linsey and Martha Hand McKee are both buried in Taylor Cemetery, Rush City, Minnesota. The cemetery is located two miles south of
Rush City to County Road 5 (Ferry Road), then east to the old Government Road."History of Rush City", 1903 by Bill Schneider contains the following article on Linsey McKee on pages 39 and 40:
Linsey McKee, the subject of this sketch, was born at Glades, Jasper County, Georgia, December 19, 1819. His father's name was
Jacob, and his mother's name was Mary McKee, and his early life was spent on the farm. In the Summer of 1837, he enlisted as a substitute for, and under the name of, Slocum Winn, a farmer of Carroll County, Georgia, for service in the Seminole War of Florida, and did duty on the frontier till its close. For some time after his discharge, Mr. McKee lived with his father on his farm and on September 7, 1837, was married to Martha Hand, daughter of Rueben and Patience Hand of Henry County, Georgia. In the Winter following his marriage he moved with his wife to a farm five miles North of Wedowee in Randolph County, Alabama. In 1854 or 1855, Mr. McKee drew a land warrant from the
government for services rendered during the Florida war, and located on forty acres of land in East Coosaland District, Randolph County, Alabama. He subsequently drew another land warrant for 120 acres and sold this for $74 to one D.A. Perryman, of Randolph County, Alabama. Each of these warrants were granted to him in his own name, and he continued to live with his family on the first mentioned location which was five miles north of Wedowee, until the War of the Rebellion broke out. Being a strong Union sympathizer and consequently under continued threats of violence from the Rebel partisans, he was obligated at least to seek safety in flight. Leaving his home in the middle of the night, July 31, 1863, he succeeded, after much hardship and suffering, in reaching the Union lines at Rome, Georgia, where he was warmly welcomed by the Federal troops. He then went to Nashville, Tennessee where he worked till January 1865 loading cars for Uncle Sam. He then went to Talahama, Tennessee, where he worked on a contract getting out railroad ties until the close of the war, when he returned to his home near Wedowee. In August 1865, he was appointed Sheriff of Randolph County by the Provisional Government, Hon. E. Parsons in recognition of his loyalty to the Union. He held this office for two years and continued to reside on his farm until the winter of 1868, when he sold it and moved with his family to a rented farm two miles from Plainview, Wabasha Couty, Minnesota. In October 1868, he moved to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, remaining there until March 1869, when he moved his family to a homestead he had located near Long Lake, Polk County, Wisconsin, some 16 miles North of St. Croix Falls, where he was instumental in establishing and naming Alabama Post Office and was postmaster there for five years. About February 1876, he returned to Tennessee where he purchased
a farm near Elora, Lincoln County, and resided in this place until October, 1878, when he sold his farm and moved to Bass Lake, Wisconsin,
and purchased a farm of 80 acres. On this place he continued to live until July 1893, he moved with his wife to Superior, Wisconsin, and
remained there until her death, January 28, 1894. With the remains, and accompanied by his daughter, Mary B. and her husband, John L.
Murphy, he came to Rush City, where his wife's remains were buried in Rushseba cemetery. Here he lived until his death, which occurred after a long illness, on July 11, 1903. He was buried with full Masonic honors in Rushseba cemetery on Sunday, July 12, 1903.Throughout his long and varied life, Mr. McKee gained the respect and friendship of all with whom he came in contact, and his
uncomplaining patience through many years of illness and suffering gained for him the admiration and sympathy of all who knew him. He, early in life, identified himself with the Masonic Fraternity, being initiated in Wedowee Lodge No. 93, Alabama, in 1848, and became Worshipful Master of that lodge. On coming to Rush City, he affiliated with Jasper Lodge No. 164, A.F. & A.M. and was a regular attendant at the communications of that lodge until age and increasing infirmities kept him to his house. He was also a member of Jasper Chapter, O.E.S. and a large number of the members of that order attended the funeral services. Brother McKee was also an lionary member of the Minnesota Veteran Masonic Association, having joined when the fifty year milepost had been passed in his Masonic life.In connection with his Masonic relations, an interesting incident has been recalled. shortly after his enforced flight to the
Northern lines, a Confederate lieutenant with a squad of soldiers was sent to his place with orders to destroy the property because of his adherence to the Union. In searching through the house, the lieutenant found a chart which, on inquiry, he found to belong to Mr. McKee. The officer ordered his men away and from that time until the close of the war, the property was carefully guarded and protected from damage, this he afterwards learned, was due to the fact that he was a Mason. His daughter, Mrs. John L. Murphy, remembers the incident and the visit of the Confederate soldier perfectly.Mr. McKee, for his services in the Seminole War, was entitled to a pension which had been applied for, but the departmental delays
prevented its allowance under a special law which Hon. F.C. Stevens had passed to cover a lack of evidence as to his identity.Mr. McKee was a faithful member of the M.E. Church and the funeral services were held in that edifice. The Rev. S.G. Briggs, a
brother Mason, officiated.
