1904. George KEESEE was born 1678 in France. He died 1741 in King George County, Virginia.

Although the origins of this family in America are unclear, the original immigrant is thought to be George Keesee, a Huguenot immigrant to Henrico County, Virginia, circa 1700. One son was Richard Keesee (c. 1729-1794) who was in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Richard had a son George Faris Keesee (died in 1825 in Sumner County, Tennessee)who married Agnes (Terry?). George F. Keesee's children married into the Smith, McKnight, Mills, Lyon, Henry, Saunders/Sanders, and Ball families. Descendants spread out through Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. All other Keesee lines also welcome.
