A.,
This is what I have:
Julian Mclin KEITH (b. Sep 1897, Atlanta, GA) m. 28 Aug 1918 to Ruth Hester FOWLER; divorced ca 1929 (Ruth m. 2nd to Irby Overton LEE). They had this son:
Charles Henry KEITH/LEE (b. 20 Jan 1920) was adopted by step-father, and took the surname of LEE; m. 31 Mar 1941 to Frances TUCKER, Campbell Co., TN.
Julian McLin KEITH as son of Charles McLean KEITH (b. Feb 1866) m. 1888 to Mary Addie PATRICK.
Charles M. was son of William J. KEITH, Jr (b. ca 1835, TN) m. Elizabeth R. McLEAN. These guys come from a family which has produced few researchers, and the information I have comes largely from incidental data gathered as I recorded my own KEITHs from neighboring Meriwether County, GA. Only descendant I have encountered is Charles Henry LEE, Jr, of Chattanooga, TN, a grandson of Julian McLin KEITH.
Earliest ancestor recorded is:
William J. KEITH, Sr. (b. ca 16 Apr 1811, Maryville, Blount Co., TN) m. 1st 3 Mar 1833 to Margaret (or Martha) SHUMATE, McMinn Co., TN;. m. 2nd ca 1844 to Julia Martha, daughter of Minor WINN (nephew of Gen. Richard WINN); Presbyterian Minister; d. 5 Aug 1874, Griffin, Spaulding Co., GA. Julia’s 1888 obituary says that the couple met in Monroe Co., GA, and married in 1840. First 3 children are shown in 1850 census for Pike Co., Georgia. A deed record shows that William J. KEITH bought land in Knox Co., TN from Peter NANCE, 15 Feb 1839. In a second deed, dated 25 Nov 1840, William James KEITH is shown as witness to a deed wherein William KEITH buys land from Allen PUREY. A 3rd deed records: William James KEITH of Pike Co., GA sold 30 acres of land in Knox Co., TN to John L. MOSES, on 7 Jun 1848. And in a deed of 13 Jun 1848, William J. KEITH of Pike Co., Georgia sold land to William KEITH of Knox Co., TN. Thus, it is believed that this William J. KEITH is connected to the Knox Co., TN families, and that he moved to Georgia around 1848.
