Sorry to have taken so long to reply_ complicated cross country move from Las Vegas. Now
retired and situated closer to roots in PA.
Keesee_pronounced k-ZEE_ is my husband's surname. Quite a Palatinate history for his
branch_ French and Bavarian with all of the spelling derivitives and no doubt relative to
your Keesey. Most came through Virginia and several settled in Missouri, Iowa and
Washington.
Frogtown in Armstrong County is 5 miles south of Brady's Bend and less than 6 miles
due east of Chicora (Butler County).
Have had no luck finding children of my mother's sister, Sarah Ann (BARNHART) Carr,
first wife of Tom Carr.
My mother and her siblings were of the Barnhart line in/around Worthington in Armstrong
County and also Karns City in Butler County.
My father's McElravy-Davis line is from Oak Ridge. The annual Davis reunion is in
Limestone next weekend.
Thanks for your reply. Will keep looking near Rimersburg for last known of the CARR
children_ Louie, Sandy, Roxy, Merle (Buster), Jean and Connie_ all would be in their
50's and 60's now.
