Samuel Wilson McKee was the son of John T(elford). McKee and Agnes Hanna. He married Mary "Polly" Ann Davidson on 20 Aug 1834 (John T McKee bible).
On the 1850 Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found farmer Samuel W. McKee, 41, with $4K in real estate; Polly A., 39; Nancy, 14; Lucinda J, 10; John, 8; Martha, 6 and James 2, all VA born. Previous page was dated 23 Aug 1850.
On the 1860 Dist. 5, Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found farmer Saml W. McKee, 51, with $11,700 in real estate (and no listed wife); Nancy, 24; L. Jessee, 20; John T., 18; Jas G., 12 and Sam M., 7, all VA born.

"Samuel McKee married Miss Mary A. Davidson, and lived at the Big Spring. He had six children —three sons and three daughters, one daughter died young and one -on died about 1880, He died in the year 1883. John T. McKee was a faithful magistrate of Rockbridge County for thirty years, also a ruling elder in the Monmouth congregation for forty years." The McKees of Virginia and Kentucky, George Wilson McKee, published by J B Richard, Chicago, 1891, p 121.
According to Angela M. Ruley's inventory of the McKee Cemetery on Rootsweb, he MAY be in some of the unmarked graves here. Plus his wife Polly Ann Davidson McKee may also be here.
The 17 Jul 1763 Kerrs Creek Massacre occurred at and around Samuel's home, where he lived in about 1852 to 1872, per Rev. Saml Brown's article in the Jan 1872 issue of the Rockbridge Citizen. (In 1786, ANOTHER Rev. Saml (died in 1818) Brown's then future wife Mary lost her parents in an Indian raid. She was kidnapped by them and sold as a slave. After about 3 years, she was rescued and returned home. Her brother James was also kidnapped and later returned home. In 1854, her son James Moore Brown wrote the book about the Moore family, called The Captives of Abb's Valley-A Legend of Frontier Life.)
There are many different versions of the historic Kerrs Creek Indian raids that occurred here in 1763 and 1765. This excerpt mentions S. W. McKee, his great grandmother and others. "This account Is republished from the "Rockbridge Citizen" of January 1872. There were two invasions of Kerr's creek by the Indians, little more than two years apart. In the traditional account, it is not always possible to say whether the thing related occurred at the first or second invasion. The story of the Bloody Tragedy as Related by the Descendants of those who suffered. (By Rev. Samuel Brown.) Among the families then located on the Creek and in its vicinity were: Cunningham at the "Big Spring," where S. W. McKee now lives; McKee where Laird now lives; Hamilton where Dunlap now lives; Gilmore where his descendants of that name now live; Cunningham where Moore and Harper now live. There were also Dales, Stilsons, McConnels, Blacks, Logans, Irvines, and others, some of which families became extinct by the massacre. I am able to fix the precise date of the first invasion from an entry In the old family Bible of J. T. McKee'? grandfather,- as follows: "His wife, Jennie, died July 17 th, 1763." She was killed in the first invasion. The second visitation of the savages was a little more than two years after the first, on the 10th of October, 1765."
