more than the direct descendents so this is
included.
William McCamy (father David McKemy) was born in
1777 in Virgina, in his late teens he settled in
the area that became Blount county TN he changed
the spelling of his surname to McCamy to
difference it from the other McKamy or McKamies.
William McCamy married Mary "Polly" Chandler who
was born in Wilkes co NC in 1781. They had nine
children:
Mary birth date and death unknown, she died young
John born 1802 married Elizabeth Shaver
