I have tried to bring all clansmen into this report when information has become available. This we all should do and at a later date our clan journal can publish amended figures. 21. Col. Pearson in a book "A History of the Fee Family" has obtained comments and genealogical data from every State in the United States and from each of the provinces of Canada. This volume of 1610 pages, stencilled, which started off with the Fee family has grown until it includes many of the persons listed in our Volume I. p. 2 Many thousands of persons who are called Fee, Feese, McAfees, MacAffee have made their reports to Col. Pearson. Much smaller numbers of persons whose names are McPhee, MacPhee, McFie, McFee, or McPhie submitted data; some McDuffies were reported but the Duffy-Duffie groups were hardly included. Larger numbers of reports came from California, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Persons who live in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota in the north and from North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia occupied an intermediate role. Maine, Connecticut and Louisiana and Vermont provided less than their population would have indicated. 3 1 Donaldson, G.; Op. cit. p. 104, 113. 2 1790 Census, U.S. Immigration 3 Pearson, Col.

Virginia - 11 - In 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh, with two ships, and 180 crew reached Roanake Island, taking possession of it as a British colony, naming the area Virginia, in honour of his Queen, Elizabeth I. Virginia, at that time referred to lands all the way from Newfoundland to Florida. A time was taken in exploration, and they returned to England. In 1585 a group of 107 men, under Lane, established frontier posts at Wokoton and Croaton; 15 men were left to hold the land but they were destroyed by Indians. In 1587 and 1591 other groups were left at Wokotop and Hatiorask; one of these became the "Lost Colony of Raleigh". It was not until 1606-1607 that Jamestown was established with fifty four gentlemen, four carpenters and twelve laborers. Whether it was the absence of the Spaniards, or of the Indians, or the French, this settlement continued and within twenty years fifteen settlements were established, with small male settlers. Shiploads of unmarried women were brought from England to be married; the man who obtained a bride paid the cost of transportation with a hundred pounds of tobacco. Twenty Negroes, as slaves, were brought into Virginia. 1 Hotten in his chapter "Living in Virginia" mentions "John Duffy", living in Chaplains Choice. 2 I have examined the "Master Rolls of settlers in Virginia", 1624, giving the names and dates of arrival from 1607 onwards. In the chapter, "Dead in Virginia", an "Elizabeth Fee" is recorded, as on July 27, 1678, in the Parish of St. Michaels, Barbados (p. 248). This book should be in the library of Genealogical Societies in the United States. Probably the first settlers to Virginia were English. 3 The 2500 who sailed to Virginia under the Virginia Company, or under Elder Blackwell, from 1606 to 1618, lost over half the number enroute; there is no evidence that our clan was represented. 1648-50 - Cromwell ordered that 900 persons who lost a war with him were Scots, and could have been included as "convicts" by him. Graham states that not more than 150 prisoners-of-war reached Virginia. 4 1683 - Hanna reports that the Presbyterian Church in America had been founded by 1683. 5 1751 - Virginia provided settlers to North Carolina, between the Catawba and Yadkin rivers, to South Carolina find to Tennessee. 1776 - S.C. Johnson reports that on June 27, 1776 the "Committee for Safety for Virginia" captured a ship, the 'Oxford' with about 175 Highlanders aboard including Alexander McPhee, Nell McPhee and Allan McPhee. 1 Bolton, H.E. and Marshall, T.M. ; Colonization of North America, New York, 1927, pp. 115-124 2 Hotten, J.C. ; The Original Lists of Personal Quality, Lists of Emigrants to North America, 1600-1700, Baltimore, p. 173. 3 Brown, Alexander; The First Republic in America, New York 1898 4 Graham, I.C.C.; Colonists from Scotland, Ithaca, 1956, p. 10 5 Hanna, C.A.; The Scotch-Irish, Vol. II, pp. 44-50
