Notes
Updated October 27, 2022. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):(1) 1850 United States Census for New York, Niagara Co., Hartland: Page 339; August 7, 1850.
Betsey EDMUNDS McKEE passed away sometime after the birth of her youngest son, Edwin and before her husband Chauncey McKEE subsequently remarried and had his next son, Edwin. In this Census record, Betsey's youngest son Lewis is listed as 30 years old. Edwin, the first child of Chauncey and his new wife, is listed as 23 years old. This implies that Betsey EDMUNDS died sometime between 1820-1827.

"DARWIN McKEE, who follows farming on section 24, Decatur Township, is one of the worthy citizens which New York has furnished to Van Buren County. He comes of an old New England family. His father Chancey McKEE, was born in Old Hartford, Conn., February 3, 1794, and, when a lad of thirteen years, removed with his parents to Jefferson County, N.Y. In 1810, he married a daughter of Judge EDMONDS [ed. Betsey EDMUNDS] of that county, and six years later removed with his wife and two children to Niagara County, N.Y., where he purchased a farm, operating it until 1844. He then bought land north of Johnson's Creek, in Niagara County, and there resided until his death on the 26th of August, 1875. His first wife having died, he married Lucy LOOMIS, a native of Rutland, Vt. Three children, all yet living, were born of the first union: Milo, a shoe manufacturer of Middleport, N. Y.; Clarissa, widow of David HULBERT, and a resident of the Empire State, and Lewis, who served throughout the late war as one of the boys in blue. Seven sons were born of the second union, but only three grew to manhood: Edwin, a farmer of Hartland, N. Y.; Darwin of this notice, and Delos an agriculturist of North Dakota."
