Note: This is
the OLDEST proven individual in our McAfee Line, all predecessors are
tentative.
Immigration: Apparently came to US between births of Thomas
and Tamar J. Tamar said she was born in US and 1870 Census says in Canada.
Newspaper records indicate that AJ was in US in December 1854. The 1860 Census
indicates that Tamar was born in Michigan and was 4 years old, so the latest
that he could have immigrated was 1856

McAfee received letters at the St Clair County Post Office during the months of
December 1854 and March 1855. This was published in the Port Huron Commercial, a
weekly newspaper. This was published because stamps were not required and the
recipients had to pay for the postage. Source: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

Pioneer Gone. - Tuesday evening Mr. A.J. McAfee, one of the oldest residents of
the village died at his residence in Lakeside. He had reached the age of 72
years. Mr. M. was of foreign birth, but moved to this peninsula when quite a
young man; for sometime he lived in the vicinity of St. Ignace and twenty years
ago moved his family to this place; then in the woods and less than a dozen
houses. Mr. M. had the contract for building the first school house -- the one
torn down two Years ago- and took quite an active part in public matters. Until
the last few months he has been in pretty good general health, being of an iron
constitution; but when the break came he went down rapidly. He leaves a wife
four daughters and two sons, and many friends to mourn his loss. The funeral
takes place today, the Rev T.J. Macmurray, officiating. Source: Copy of

Aged Lady Passes Away.
------------
Mrs. Ann McAfee, one of City's
Pioneers Died Last Saturday.
-----------
Mrs. Anna McAfee died at her home
on Manistique Avenue Saturday after noon of last week after a protracted illness
with the ailments incident to old age.
The deceased was born of Quaker
parentage at Norwich, Conn in 1830.
She was married in 1849 to Mr. Angus
James McAfee, who preceded her to the spirit land twenty-four years ago. She was
the mother of nine children, four of which are living at present, viz: Thomas
and John McAffee of Alger county, Mrs John McGregor of Plummer, Ont. and Mrs.
John Mutart of this city. She also leaves twelve grandchildren and twenty-nine
great grandchildren.
The deceased came to Manistique on Sept 8, 1870, and has
resided here continuously. During the winter of that year there were only nine
families residing in the city, and with the exception of James Norton's family
she was the only one of left of that number. She recounted much interesting data
concerning Manistique's early history. Her faculties were very well preserved
considering her age of eighty-five years.
During her last illness she had the
constant and faithful attendance of her daughter, Mrs. Mutart.
The funeral
services were held from the home Thursday afternoon, Rev F. R. Leach of the
First Baptist church officiating. The services were largely attended by friends
and neighbors.
Among those present from a distance, were sons Thomas and John
McAffee, the latter being accompanied by his wife; Mrs Howard Fox of Shingleton,
and Mrs. Geo. Lossage of vanMere, grand daughters, were also in
attendance.
