Henry Hicks McGee

He married Delilah Vickers in 1848, and by her had twelve children-three sons and nine daughters. In 1861 he volunteered in Company H., Fiftieth Tennessee Infantry, C.S. A., and after his capture at Fort Donelson, imprisonment at Chicago and exchange at Vicksburg he re-entered the service. When the twelve months for which his enlisted expired, he threw down his gun and started home a-foot, notwithstanding the orders of his Government to the contrary. In 1850 he moved where he now lives, having a fine large farm and a good grist-mill. In politics he is a Democrat and both he and his wife are leading members in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
