| Notes for Eli Joseph McNAMEE | ||||||||||||||||||
| Eli died as the result of a sleigh accident. Meigs Co. death record says he died of pneumonia, 24 Feb 1895. Page 350. (Another record has death on 8 Feb.) Eli is buried in Carmel Cemetery. Eli Joseph McNamee, b. 1848: 1850 Census, Licking Twp., Jackson Co., Ohio, SLC# 444691, 21 August 1850: although Eli is reported as 4 years old, we believe this to be erroneous. A copy of a sheet of birth and death dates on Barnabas & his wife and their 13 children, hand-written by a descendant, seems quite reliable. We believe Eli was 2 yrs. 7 mos. old at the time of that Census. 24 June 1993. Grandson Walter Charles McNamee & his wife visited the Pomeroy Courthouse in an effort to locate the log cabin where Eli & Laura lived and had their family of nine children. Eli died in 1895 and Laura died in 1930. Their daughter Maggie, who never married, continued to live there alone until she died in 1952. At that time, the State of Ohio laid claim to assets due them, and the property was sold. Walt remembers visiting the log cabin as a child. He had, years earlier, tried to locate the property but failed. Asking at the Recorder's Office for the Index to 1952 Deeds of Purchase, an attorney, Doug Little, overheard the name McNamee and volunteered information. Meigs County Deed Book, Vol. 75, p.528: Douglas Putnam & wife to Eli J. McNamee. Know all men by these presents that I, Douglas Putnam, of Marietta in the County of Washington and State of Ohio, for and in consideration of the sum of six hundred Dollars to me paid before the delivery of these presents by Eli J.

| Notes for Laura Delane (Spouse 1) | ||||||||||||||||||
| Laura is buried in Carmel Cemetery. Laura Delane Colmer, b. 1854: Laura was about nine years old when Morgan's Raiders came through Athens Co., Ohio, close to where she was raised. (From a letter written by daughter Esta to brother Walter Eli McNamee and his wife Ruth, April 7, 1970.) 1900 Census, Chester Twp., Meigs, Ohio: McNamee, Laura (widow) 48 b. April 1852 Joseph M. 22 April 1878 Lester H. 15 February 1885 Walter E. 13 March 1887 Esta M. 8 May 1892 Ralph, Clarisia L. 23 June 1876 Herbert 25 May 1875 (It is possible that Maggie McNamee, 26, b. August 1873, was also living with Laura at the time of the 1900 Census.) Laura was most likely born in 1852, despite what the 1900 Census records. Also, her place of birth is in question, whether Athens Co. or Meigs Co. | ||||||||||||||||||
