The Gee Cemetery in Turkey Neck Bend Monroe Co., Ky. It is setting on the land now owned by John Evans. To find it: After you cross the ferry at Thompkinsville, KY it is the 1st black top road to the (L), go to the first farm (John Evans) on the left.

We found the grave stones of Wm. J. Gee b. 2-13-1822 & d. 1-30-1885 on his (r) was Mary A. Gee (presumed to be his wife) b.8-16-1832 & d. 5-6-1914 and Mary E. Gee, daughter of W.J. Gee.

We also found John B. b.6/20/1801 & d. 5-20-1778 and his wife, Anna, b. 3-1-1799 & d. 8-14-1848 and on his left, Sarah E. Gee (probably daughter) b. 11-23-1832 & d. 6-28-77.

We assume the two men were the "Jefferson" (Wm. J.) and John Bugg (John B.) who's graves we found (?) to be brothers of our ancestor, James Pennington Gee (son of James and Lucy Bugg Gee). There were at least four Gee stones.

Lucy is the daughter of John Bugg. It was James and Lucy Gee that moved from Mecklenburg Co., VA to Kentucky.

On June 12, 1994, we found (at least part) of the Gee farm. A Mr. Orville Lanham bought 278 acres of what was called the "old Gee place." We found the Gee cemetary at Turkey Neck Bend (on the banks of the Cumberland River, in Monroe Co.,Ky, on 6-12-94.) We had looked for it five years earlier. Donna Hall (Sadlier) had told us about trying

to find it, years earlier.

I'm at work (where my gen. files are--) gotta go!

Did you get Greg's address, did you write him? We did he didn't answer, yet.

John Bugg's wife was Lucy Pennington (Other paperwork list "Susanna" as wife (maybe Susanna was 1st wife? And Lucy 2nd wife? Or she was called Susanna ?)

John & Lucy's children:

Benjamin, Zachariah, John, William, Jessie, Frances, Martha, Sarah, Elizabeth, and LUCY, and Mary.

Lucy Pennington married John Bugg in 1754 in Mecklenburg, VA. She was born in VA. but died in TN. around 1805. My search started when I found these papers in the Library:

Mecklenburg Co. , Virginia Deeds, 1765-1771

Page 232. June 11, 1769 from William Pennington and Mary, his wife, of the Parish of Mehering (Meherrin) in the County of Brunswick, to Peter Tatum of the Parish of St. James in M. for 106 pounds and for divers other good causes, a certain tract of 367 acres of land in M on both sides of Stiths Cr and bounded by Hagood, a new line, McDaniel, the old line, William Hagood. Signed - William Pennington, Mary (X her mark) Pennington.--Wit - Jack Pennington, John Ballard Jr. The deed was acknowledged by William Pennington and Mary, his wife. Recorded Aug. 14, l769.

Page 234. Jan 31, 1769 from Benjamin Ingram of Brunswick Co., to John Bugg of the Parish of St. James in M, for 50 pounds, a certain tract of about 350 acres of land in St. James Parish and M and bounded by Heus on Taylor Cr. Twitty, a new line, Pennington, Mize , the same being granted to John Ingram, his "farther". Signed - Benjamin Ingram.

Wit.-William Gee, Jack Pennington, W. Pennington. William (+ his mark) Crutchfield.

Recorded Apr. 9, 1770.

Bugg, Pennington and Gee families all living in the same area. Looks like our Pennington's didn't know how to write their names, or else they were too old to do more than make a mark. Since Lucy Pennington married John Bugg in 1754, by 1769 the William and Mary Pennington were getting up in years.

The only will located so far is the one where John Bugg and Lucy Pennington Bugg have 11 children and Lucy Bugg is named. John Bugg was the one who signed the paper for his daughter Lucy Bugg to marry James Gee.
