- Selina (Linny) Unknown
In the early 1870s Jefferson (Jeff) McKee and his wife Selina (Linnie) McKee were servants at "Leahurst," the house built by Thomas L. Lea (c.1806-1867) (located on Long's Mill Road in Caswell County).
_______________
The following is from The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 231-232 (Article #255 "Ann Wright Lea Graves" by E. C. Graves):
Ann Lea was the daughter of Thomas Lea and Ann Blount Wright of Virginia. She was born November 1, 1841 in Caswell County, N.C. and died October 15, 1940 at the home of her daughter, Brandon-on-Dan in Virginia just before her 100th birthday. Ann was the only daughter in a family of eleven children.
An interesting story regarding Ann Lea stated that while on her way to her uncle's, Dr. Calvin Graves'1 home, Ann went down to a cave on Country Line Creek and witnessed a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan. She was discovered and was given the oath of allegiance to join the Klan as she had overheard their discussion of Senator "Chicken" Stephens. After joining the Klan, Ann was to take part in sewing robes for the members and kept them hid [sic] under the parlor rug when not in use.
During the term of Governor W.W. Holden, many men from Caswell were arrested and held as prisoners as the county was in a state of turmoil following the Civil War. Among those arrested was Ann's husband, Capt. Billie Griffin Graves. During this time Ann was left at home with two small children. "Liney", a faithful ex-slave stayed with Ann and was her confidante. Liney's husband, Jeff McGhee also stayed on the plantation. After the impeachment of Governor Holden, however, the days became more peaceful in Caswell County.

Jeff McKee, b. 1850 in Dan River Township, Caswell County, was married to a Linny (maiden name unknown) McKee. The couple had at least six children. Their middle son was Hunter McKee. Jeff McKee was owned during slavery by a James L. McKee (b.1822), who was a farmer and merchant in Yanceyville. James is the younger brother of Nancy Avaline Jarrett. The "Nancy Avaline Jarrett Papers" is a collection at the University of North Carolina that contains letters written by James McKee.
