Due to increasing use of the internet by an increasing variety of McGehees, some of the categories formerly included here have been dropped. I am currently considering the question of whether the purpose originally served by this page has been superseded by more powerful and more finely-tuned search capabilities. If you have an opinion about the usefulness of this page, feel free to comment in the guestbook. |
Genforum: McGehee Family Genealogy Forum http://genforum.genealogy.com/mcgehee/
A web-based message board for McGehee genealogy queries and discussion.
Since many McGehee descendants owned slaves before the Civil War, there are of course some McGehees who also have African ancestry. Willie L. Robinson is one such, and this website covers his branch of the family. It also includes a link to his pages at FamilyTreeMaker.com
Eleanor Colson's genealogical site focusing on Thomas MackGehee. You will also find links to the McGehee boards at GenConnect, where you can browse or post Bible records, deeds, queries, bios and more. New: McGehee slave data page, which may prove useful for McGehees and others of African ancestry. Contact Eleanor if you have information that can be added to this resource.
Stephen McGehee, of Adjutant Software (see below), has put together a site discussing his branch of the family.
Rev. Woody L. "Jack" McGehee's genealogy home page, focusing on his own line.
Actually a subset of "The OzEmail Home Page of John Ward", the collection referenced here are ordinary text files containing a fair listing of MacGregors including the lines of Glengyle (Rob Roy) and The Children of the Mist, otherwise known in some studies as "the Ladassach line."
Another Family Tree Maker web site, this time by Dan Megehee. Like me, Dan is descended from Thomas MackGehee's brother, William "the Quaker."
Names being researched include McGehee and Starks -- the latter being connected to author Stark Young. Terry e-mails of having photographs of Young's tutor, his aunt Sally Starks, as well as photos believed to be of Young's father and mother, and his aunt Julia and uncle Hugh McGehee (from whom Young learned the McGehee family lore that made it into So Red the Rose). The picture gallery is linked from the genealogy page.

Robby McGehee: Racer http://rmracing.homestead.com/
After his Indy Racing League debut in the 1999 Indianapolis 500 (in which he finished fifth and won Rookie of the Year honors), Robby has emerged as one of the better racers in the IRL and led for two laps in last year's Indy 500. In 2000 he raced to one of the most exciting finishes in auto racing at Fort Worth, coming to within half a heartbeat of winning at the line. He's now semi-retired from racing.
Later served as assistant baseball coach at Louisiana College.
If there is a baseball card with this guy on it, it'd be worth a few bucks.

Hugh McGehee, Natchez Planter
Wise, eloquent patriarch of the McGehees of Natchez, Mississippi in the Civil War novel So Red the Rose (1934) by Stark Young.
Apparently the only McGehee to survive the adaptation of So Red the Rose into a motion picture (1935, Paramount), George was played by Charles Starrett (1903-1986), who later went on to fame as The Durango Kid in dozens of "B" Westerns, from 1940 until 1952. So Red the Rose has yet to be released on home video.
