McKee family leaves mark on Cotaco valley traditions
Miss Beckie McKee of Rock Creek recalls an old inscription stating Kizzie McKee came from Ireland in 1812 and links the McKees to Col. John McKee. The piece follows their Alabama move from Virginia to Tennessee, settles in Cotaco valley, notes Confederate service, and recounts an old Rock Creek cemetery with a beech tree marker.
