Mary T. McKee (1846-1931)
I am searching for the father of Mary Teresa McKee, born in Baltimore in 1846.The father (first name unknown) married Esther Cottrell, daughter of an Anglican clergyman.In 1849, ____ McKee, a native of Ireland, is said to have joined the California gold rush where he made a fortune.He returned to New York and became a shipbroker.
The daughter married Dr. Samuel J. Waggaman in 1870 and went on to become a prolific writer of Catholic children's literature.She had 11 children and died in 1931.
Anything you might be able to provide will be greatly appreciated.
