Hello! I am trying to locate the burial place of John H. McGahey (McGaha, McGahee) and Rebeca McGahey. His possible date of death is around 1890. I believe he was a Civil War veteran. Also, possibly buried near would be Samuel McGahey and wife Martha “Mattie” Flowers McGahey. I have lead that they could possibly be in Quitman cemetery.
If you have any knowledge of these folks I would be very grateful for any help.
thank you–Melinda Dennis (mdennis35@aol.com)

I do not find records of a John H. McGee/McGhee/McGahee
in our Wood County records so far. The negatives first:
He and wife Rebecca do not appear in 1850 or 1860 censuses as we would expect for a CW vet.
I do not find him in our cemetery books, certainly not in Quitman City.
Mormon records do not show such a person in Texas in 1880.
I do see a John Henry McGee 1867-1919 in Myrtle Springs Cem.
We have pension request records from the wife of John Newton McGhee who d. 1873.
I am discontinuing search unless I hear more clues.
