Individual Details

[Have also seen her name as Selethia and Leithia and "Letty"; surname as Magby.]

Although Seletha appears as a daughter in every family tree - I have not found the absolute proof that she belongs here. She certainly did not leave Virginia and go to Tennessee, but then she was already married. Her age, and ages of her children, would indicate she couldn't have been the daughter of any of William McBee "Jr"'s brothers - she was older. Unfortunately no marriage record has been found for Seletha and Robert Walters - but then they haven't been found for several of her siblings. The source of her exact birthdate as often found, can also not be certified by any known document, but again, it must be close, considering ages of her children. And even if William McBee "Jr" was her father, that would not assure that Abigail was her mother. The given name Seletha, or forms thereof, does get handed down in this line of the family - I have not found the name Abigail used again in Seletha's line, but then I don't have the names of many of the grandchildren.

It is possible that the birth of Seletha and a death as Feb of 1834 came from the writings of Earl Quintrell, said to be at the Tennessee Archives. His wife was a McBee descendant. Seletha did not appear to be in the 1830 census with her husband.
