Just a few months ago I added Lemuel McBee (1783-1843) and his wife, Sarah Meek (1787-1864) to my family tree. I am a descendant of their daughter, Mary Ann McBee, who married John S. Waters. For years I did not know the maiden name of Mary Ann, John S. Waters' wife.
I finally learned John Waters' wife's maiden name from one of their daughter's death certificate. Martha Waters Troutman died in 1917 in Missouri and on Martha Waters Troutman's death certificate her mother is listed as Mary Ann McBee. Now thanks to you, I have verification that Mary Ann McBee's husband was John S. Waters!
After learning that Martha Waters Troutman's mother's name was Mary Ann McBee, I felt I could place Mary Ann in the Lemuel McBee family after I discovered that the John S. Waters family was listed on the same census page for the 1850 US Census in Jefferson County, Tennessee with Lemuel McBee's sons Adam, Isaac, and Ganum. They are all lined up like ducks in a row.
I am a descendant of John S. Waters and Mary Ann McBee's daughter, Sarah Jane Waters (1835-1917). Sarah Jane Waters first married Gabriel Morgan (1836-1868) and then Calvin Wright. Sarah Jane Waters remained her entire life in Jefferson County, Tennessee.

Mary Ann McBee died between the 1850 census and 1854 when John S. Walters married Mary Ann Shipe in Knox Co, TN.
