The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Center Township, pages 529-530
Robert McGee was born in Kentucky in 1820, and at the age of ten years he came with his parents, William and Elizabeth (Asher) McGee, to Indiana, they settling one mile northeast of Danville. His father was of Scotch-Irish descent, a native of New Jersey, and his mother was of German descent, a native of Kentucky. His father entered land in Center Township on which he lived till his death in 1842, his wife having died in 1836. The subject of this sketch was reared in this county after his tenth year, and received a limited education by attending a subscription school in Danville during the winter terms. After his father's death in 1842, he became part owner of the farm by purchases, which he sold in 1845, and the same year purchased his present farm in Center Township, four miles east of Danville. Oct. 6, 1859, he was married to Sarah English, of Rush County, Ind. They have four children--Craig, a farmer of Washington Township; Mary Elizabeth, Sarah Jane and Martha Jewel, living at home. Mr. and Mrs. McGee are members of the Christian church at Danville. In politics he is a Republican.
