© Robert McGee was born circa 1675 in Donagheady Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland, he is the son of James Maghee and Marianna Leighton. Robert married Margaret Killgore circa 1695 probably in Donagheady Parish, Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland as was the family tradition. Unfortunately the records for Donagheady Parish are not complete and there are many missing baptism and marriage records.

The Killgore clan like the McGees was another prominent family in Ireland taking its roots from Scotland. The name Kilgore is of Gaelic origin, from the ancient name of a parish in Fife Shire Scotland. The surname is found all over Fife and is also common in Aberdeenshire

1. Robert McGee who married a woman (name unknown) in Donagheady Parish, the couple would later immigrate from Ireland to America with their five sons known as "The Five McGee Brothers from Ireland"
