James Dee pension file: "This is to certify that I, Nancy E. Dee whose residence is
Sterling, Logan County, Colorado, am not able to furnish records to show proof of the

I do not know the address of said niece.
"I was born January 7, 1853 near Finley, County of Hancock, State of Ohio. When I was
nine months of age my parents moved to near Hardin, County of Alamakee, State of Iowa. I
lived at this place until 1883 making my home with my father and mother, John McGhee and
Elizah McGhee.
"The full names of all of my brothers and sisters living in June, 1860 and June 1870
are: Robert McGhee, Sarah McGhee, Nelson McGhee, Merideth McGhee, William McGhee,
Elizabeth McGhee, Mary Ann McGhee and Luchies McGhee.
"One brother, same being Merideth McGhee, enlisted in the United States Army in 1862,
served in Company A, Twenty-seventh Regiment of the infantry.
"All of the above I make under oath this 21st day of July, 1928."
