Marriage of a parent	Joseph McGehee Sr — Milly … — View this family about 1771 (Age 7 years) North Carolina, United States Shared note: Joseph and Milly McGehee - Children's ages Joseph and Milly McGehee - Children's ages Their five children (Suckey, Jacob, Penny, Abraham, Tempy) were listed in the 1794 Will which had certain stipulations when Abraham reached 21 years old. I will assume that a child in the 1790s would therefore be consider a minor if he/she were under 21 years old. In 1795, all five children were listed as being orphans with James Collins being assigned as their Guardian.
