Description	:	David Mckee was born in about 1830. I've been told that he was born in New York State, however his certificate of discharge as well as his enlistement record that I obtained from the NY state archives has his place of birth as being in Canada. David was a Civil War Veteran, who served with Co. C of the 91st NY Infantry. He was enrolled the 18th of August 1864 to serve a term of one year, and he was discharged on 10 June 1865.

I've been told that he was born in New York State, however his certificate of discharge as well as his enlistement record that I obtained from the NY state archives has his place of birth as being in Canada. David was a Civil War Veteran, who served with Co. C of the 91st NY Infantry. He was enrolled the 18th of August 1864 to serve a term of one year, and he was discharged on 10 June 1865. The Burleigh County Book of Remembrances says that he was a POW at Libby Prison in Richmond, Va. - which I have not been able to verify. The family story that I've been told is that he served with Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman on his infamous March to the Sea (which I'm also trying to verify by looking at the unit history to see if they were with Sherman). The story is that after the war was over, he walked home to Vermont from Georgia, and that it took him so long that his wife Hannah didn't recognize him, but the dog did and ran down the lane towards him. He was married to Hannah Durgin in about 1857. They lived in Vermont before moving to ND. Hannah died fairly young, their son, Chauncey was just a boy when she died. I've seen her place of death in Mapleton, Cass County, ND, but my grandmother always said that she died before they came to ND. There was some confusion in the family about the location od David's grave. The story is that only 1 family member went to the cemetery when he was buried, and something about the grave digger being "a drinking man", so no one seemed to be quite sure just where he was at rest.
