HENRY MCGEE WAS MARRIED TO CATHERINE MELLON. SHE WAS THE SISTER 
TO DENNIS MELLON ONE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS IN TURKEY CREEK. 
DENNIS WAS MY GGGRANDFATHER. THEY CAME FROM COUNTY DOWN IRELAND . 
I HAVE LAND GRANTS FOR HENRY FOR LAKE COUNTY NEAR WHERE DENNIS HAD 
HIS.  I THINK HENRY AND CATHERINE CAME FIRST AS HE IS MENTIONED 
ABOUT TWO YEARS EARLIER THAN DENNIS AND HIS FAMILY. THEY WERE ALL 
MARRIED IN BELFAST IRELAND. BUT WERE DEVOUT CATHOLICS AND WERE 
INSTRUMENTAL IN THE FOUNDING OF ST. PETER AND PAUL CHURCH. DENNIS 
EVEN DONATED THE LAND THAT ST.PETER AND PAUL CEMETERY IS ON IN 
MERRILLVILLE.  THERE ARE STILL MANY MELLONS IN THE AREA.  MY 
MOTHER WAS A MELLON. I NOW LIVE IN ILLINOIS BUT HAVE MANY RELATIVES 
IN INDIANA. I KNOW HENRY AND CATHERINE HAD A SON,NAMED HENRY MCGEE. 
BUT I HAVEN'T AS YET TRACED HIM.  BY THE WAY THEY SPELLED THEIR NAME 
IN  IRELAND MAGEE. NOW YOU CAN PUT FOUND BY HENRY.  BETH ORSI
