Notes
a. Note:   RESEARCH NOTES: Jonathan and Martha were both part of the westward movement of the Latter-Day Saint Church. Their marriage probably took place in Winter Quarters or one of the other Mormon settlements in Pottawattomie County. They crossed the plains in 1852 with the 5th company under Captain John Tidwell. The Crossing the Plains Index indicates that there were 5 adults and 2 children in Jonathan McKee's group. Birth records for both Martha and Jonathan can be found in the Spanish Fork Ward. They were in Utah just over 10 years before their return to Iowa. In <I>History of Harrison County Iowa</I> can be found information about the McKee's move to Washington Township from Pottawattomie County in 1872. Martha's death was recorded in Harrison County Iowa. She died of pneumonia and is buried in the Chambers Cemetery. Thanks to Patrick Casey who has generously shared his research on this family.
