Hi!I have been researching the McKemy family history for years but have reached a brick wall.My husband's Gr.Gr.Grandfather was William Davidson McKemy (born c.1821-27)died 1851.He and his wife, Elvira Hise, lived in Barbour Co. Va. at time of his death.His father supposedly was James McKemy of Virginia.And he had brothers, James,John,Harvey,Alexander and a sister, Betsey Ann.William died young while his wife was expecting their only child, William Leslie Davidson McKemy.Elvira married John Conley two years later.She evidently didn't know much about her first husband's history to pass on to her first child.So all is lost before that.I have been hoping for years to find the history of his dad or one of his siblings.If you can help... please let me know! Thanks!Noreda
