- My great grandfather Michael Dee was born in St. Catherines, Ontario,
- September 6, 1854. He had 2 brothers, William born 1855 and Richard
- born 1856 in Gilford, Ontario and 4 sisters Frances, Harriet, Anna,
- Mary and Cora. There were 2 infants stillborn. Parents of these
- children were Robert Dee and Jane Matterly, Mattingly, Matternly.
- Jane was born in 1834 and died in 1919 in Bay City, Michigan. Family
- lore says Jane had 2 brothers that were Methodist Episcopal Ministers
- in Canada and Robert was Irish Catholic and a tanner by trade. Supposedly
- they lived in Canada near Holland's Landing and perhaps for awhile in
- Pennsylvania. Jane and Robert were divorced or at least she and the
- kids left and she and Richard and the girls ended up in Bay City
- Michigan where she ran a boarding house. Unfortunately the great aunt
- that told me this is long dead and while I can fill in some names of
- spouses and bring my line to present day, I can not find any thing
- on Robert Dee or Jane. Can some one help me, Is there any one out
- there looking for Dees. Where is Holland's Landing and St. Catherines?
- Would be more than happy to share information. Please contact me at
- Lib026@Marshall.WVNET.edu or 1918 Bungalow Ave., Huntington, West
- Virginia 25701. Thanks. Kathleen Bledsoe
